The successful candidate will have a proven track record in data science applications within the bio/pharmaceutical industry, with special emphasis on mathematical modeling, digital twin simulations, and domain transfer. The candidate will have experience implementing differential equation, machine learning and AI models for therapeutic development, comparing results between multiple data and testing domains, and implementing analytics for digital twin applications to provide accurate simulation. Example applications may include in silico drug screening, predictive modeling, bioprocessing simulation, and manufacturing. The candidate will work in a team setting and will share roles and responsibilities with other colleagues. The candidate should display strong communication skills with biologists, chemists, technicians, and data scientists. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Work with teams throughout VMRD to understand and evaluate mathematical modeling and digital twin project opportunities. Evaluate the appropriateness of different datasets and mathematical approaches for a given project. Research and identify external digital twin technologies and methods to best incorporate them internally. Evaluate accuracy and specificity of digital twin and mathematical modeling projects on internal data. Collaborate with colleagues across the organization, including other data scientists, therapeutic/vaccine project and functional teams, biologists, chemists, and our Zoetis Tech & Digital (ZTD) organization. Required Experience/ Skills PhD in mathematics, computational biology, biology, or chemistry with an emphasis in modeling, or a related field. Experience in biology, computer science, and mathematical modeling. Digital twin development or mathematical modeling and evaluation, specifically in biological, chemical, or related applications. Implementation of machine learning and AI methods in biologically related projects Programming across multiple programming languages, e.g., Python, R, Julia, C/C++. Additional Experience/ Skills Cellular automata, agent-based modelling, finite-state machines, dynamical systems. Graph theory, algorithms, and network analysis Experience in pharmaceutical research such as disease and therapeutic mechanism of action, delivery, or development.
