What We Do

We build on the strength of our research and development expertise and a distinctive, entrepreneurial culture that encourages diversity, innovation, creativity, sustainability, and, simply, fun. Since inception, our mission has been to find a cure for pulmonary arterial hypertension and other life-threatening diseases. Toward this goal we have successfully gained FDA approval for five medicines, we are always conducting new clinical trials, and we are working to create an unlimited supply of manufactured organs for transplantation.

We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation (PBC). Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through (a) the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and (b) technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs. At the same time, we seek to provide our shareholders with superior financial performance and our communities with earth-sensitive energy utilization.

Our company was founded by an entrepreneur whose daughter was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. She sought to find treatment options and a cure for her daughter and patients like her. We are founder-led, and relentless in our pursuit of “medicines for life”. We continue to research and develop treatments for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, and other orphan diseases.

How you’ll contribute

The Computational Lab for In Silico Molecular Biology is building a computational model of the lung to enable in silico design and testing of therapies for lung disease. As part of this effort to develop an integrative multiscale lung model, the Computational Biologist will apply various mechanistic modeling techniques to simulate molecular and cellular processes related to lung physiology and pharmacology.

• Develop mathematical models of molecular and cellular processes in the lung, including but not limited to regulation of vasoconstriction and bronchoconstriction, response to hypoxia, toxicity to airways/alveoli, and initiation/resolution of inflammation and fibrosis

• Conduct research into approaches for mechanistic modeling of biological processes and determine suitability for specific applications

• Implement procedures for model qualification to evaluate impact of uncertainty and variability on model output

• Collaborate with other computational biologists and engineers to integrate models into large multiscale models spanning processes from organ to molecular level

• Participate in collaborations with internal and external labs to generate experimental data for model training/validation

• Communicate results effectively through interactive visualizations, presentations at internal and external meetings, and peer-reviewed publications

• Perform all other duties as assigned

For this role you will need

Minimum Requirements

• 6+ years of industry experience developing computational models of biological systems with a Master's degree in biomedical engineering, computational biology, or related field of study or 2+ years of industry experience developing computational models of biological systems with a PhD in biomedical engineering, computational biology, or related field of study Postdoctoral experience at a pharmaceutical/biotech company is acceptable.

• FOR SENIOR LEVEL: 8+ years of industry experience developing computational models of biological systems with a Master's degree in biomedical engineering, computational biology, or related field of study or 5+ years of industry experience developing computational models of biological systems with a PhD in biomedical engineering, computational biology, or related field of study Postdoctoral experience at a pharmaceutical/biotech company is acceptable.

• Expertise in one or more modeling formalisms for systems biology (e.g. differential equation, logic-based, or agent-based models)

• Familiarity with quantitative systems pharmacology and other applications of modeling and simulation within pharmaceutical drug discovery and development

• Expertise in numerical methods relevant to modeling and simulation, including solving systems of ordinary and/or partial differential equations, optimization, Monte Carlo methods

• Fluency in one or more scientific programming languages (e.g. Python, R, Julia, and/or MATLAB)

• Knowledge of molecular and cellular biology and drug development

• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences as demonstrated by record of presentations and publications

Preferred Qualifications

• Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in biomedical engineering, computational biology, or related field of study

• Ability to process and analyze large-scale genomic and transcriptomic datasets

• Strong data visualization skills, including interactive visualization (e.g. R Shiny or d3.js)

• Skilled in statistical and machine learning methods

• Knowledge of pulmonary physiology
