Head of Quantitative Biomarker Sciences (all genders)

Full time and permanent

who will lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for transforming discovery and (pre)clinical biomarker data into decision-driving evidence. This leader oversees biomarker data modelling across scales (small scale to big data), establishes and applies QSP models in partnership with Pharmacometrics across sites, develops AI/ML approaches for tissue image analytics (IHC/ISH), and delivers integrated analytics of Olink/NULISA panels and multi-omics data paired with clinical outcomes. The role is highly collaborative, working closely with AI/ML, in silico, pathology, pharmacometrics, clinical development, and biostatistics to accelerate therapeutic decision-making and biomarker strategy. The focus is exclusively on clinical and molecular biomarker data and its translation to program strategy and evidence packages.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and execute the Quantitative Biomarker Sciences (QBS) strategy across our programs – from late-stage discovery to early-stage clinical trials.
  • Build, lead and develop a high-performing team of scientists and technical specialists; set goals, mentor talent, and cultivate a culture of open communication, scientific excellence and trust
  • Establish standards, governance, and best practices for biomarker data modelling, code quality, documentation, and model lifecycle management.
  • Proactively lead the development of statistical and machine learning models for discovery and preclinical biomarker datasets (e.g., longitudinal, high-dimensional, multimodal).
  • Co‑lead QSP model development with Pharmacometrics; align model assumptions, parameterization, and validation with clinical and translational biology.
  • Develop and evaluate AI/ML pipelines for IHC/ISH image analytics (e.g., segmentation, cell phenotyping, spatial features) and integrate them into biomarker projects, including validation against pathology truth sets and clinical endpoints.
  • Oversee integrative analyses connecting platforms, such as Olink/NULISA, and multiple biomarkers with clinical outcomes, safety signals, PK/PD, and exposure–response.
  • Serve as the principal QBS counterpart to Pharmacometrics, Clinical Development, Biostatistics, Pathology, AI/ML, and in silico modelling teams.
  • Provide clear, decision‑oriented communications and visualizations to study teams, governance, and external partners in a timely manner. Contribute to study design, sample strategy, and endpoint selection, including assay readiness and analytical performance considerations.
  • Lead and/or represent biomarkers, biomarker projects (stand-alone) and QBS in external collaborations (CROs, academic partners, consortia) and within project teams

Qualification

  • PhD (or equivalent experience) in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Applied Math, Systems Pharmacology, or related field
  • Extensive experience in quantitative (biomarker) analytics, data science, pharmacometrics/systems modeling, or related domains, combined with proven leadership of diverse teams of scientists and/or specialists
  • Demonstrated experience with biomarker modeling (e.g., modelling of multiplex data, Olink, histopathology image analysis, multi-omics integration, clinical metadata integration) with downstream influence on study or portfolio decisions.
  • Deep Know-how and proven experience with AI/ML tools and implementation
  • Preferably hands‑on or oversight experience in QSP modelling (e.g., mechanistic, hybrid, or empirical)
  • Expertise in statistical modelling and ML for high‑dimensional data (e.g., mixed models, survival analyses, regularized models, tree-based and deep learning methods).
  • Demonstrated experience with scripting/coding languages, such as R and Python
  • Understanding of assay characteristics (e.g., LoD, precision, batch effects), data QC, and integration with PK/PD and clinical endpoints.
  • Proven ability to lead cross‑functional science, set clear priorities, and deliver to milestones.
  • Exceptional communication skills

Our offer:

  • A position within a vigorous and exciting professional environment promoted by an open culture and a spirit of community

  • A diverse, international workforce with a dynamic working environment that fosters creativity, innovations and teamwork

  • 30 days of annual holiday, monthly allowance for public transportation, and in-house canteen

  • Capital forming benefits, flexible working hours, holiday pay, and annual bonus depending on performance
