Join us in developing treatments, finding cures, and pioneering the path from lab to life while championing patients every step of the way.

Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine (JJIM), a Johnson & Johnson company, is recruiting for a Postdoctoral Data Science Oncology to be located at our office in either Spring House, PA; Titusville, NJ; Cambridge, MA.

The successful candidate will work closely with experimental and clinical collaborators, applying cutting-edge statistical and machine-learning approaches to identify immune cell states, biomarkers, and mechanisms underlying response to cancer therapy. This position is ideal for a postdoc eager to translate complex data into biological insight and clinically relevant hypotheses.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive computational analyses of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics datasets to characterize the tumor microenvironment in bladder cancer.

• Apply advanced statistical and machine-learning methods to identify biomarkers, immune cell states, and biological mechanisms associated with BCG immunotherapy response.

• Integrate multi-modal datasets, including scRNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA-seq, proteomics, and clinical metadata, to achieve a systems-level understanding of tumor–immune interactions.

• Incorporate imaging and pathological covariates alongside molecular data to generate clinically interpretable insights and inform treatment strategies.

• Lead the synthesis of computational findings into clear, compelling scientific narratives and drive manuscript preparation for submission to high-impact journals.

• Collaborate closely with experimental scientists and clinical teams to interpret results, refine hypotheses, and guide translational research directions.

• Present findings internally and externally at scientific meetings and seminars.

Required Qualifications

• PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Data Science, Systems Biology, Biostatistics, or a related quantitative discipline.

• Strong experience analyzing high-dimensional omics data (e.g., single-cell RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA-seq).

• Proficiency in computational programming languages such as R and/or Python. Demonstrated ability to work independently on complex data analysis projects and communicate results clearly.

• Strong scientific writing skills and a track record for first-author publications.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with tumor immunology, cancer biology, or immunotherapy datasets.

• Familiarity with spatial transcriptomics platforms and/or imaging-based analyses.

• Experience integrating multi-modal molecular and clinical datasets.

• Prior exposure to translational or clinically oriented research environments.
