Scientist, Precision Biomarkers & MultiOmics Integration

About the role

Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine (JJIM) is looking for an accomplished Scientist to develop and apply multiomics integration methods and frameworks for biomarker identification and patient subtyping, so that precision medicine strategies can be applied across disease areas and across discovery and clinical development. The role sits at the intersection of computational biology, translational science and therapeutic area collaboration, and is onsite in Spain, primarily in Madrid with Barcelona as a secondary option; hybrid and fully remote arrangements may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, implement and apply integrative multiomics frameworks to identify biomarkers and patient subtypes relevant to discovery and clinical precision strategies.
• Integrate diverse data modalities such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, single-cell/spatial omics, QTLs, imaging and clinical/real-world data to characterise disease heterogeneity.
• Design patient stratification and subtyping approaches linking molecular signatures to disease mechanisms, prognosis and treatment response.
• Quantify and prioritise biomarker evidence supporting target engagement, pharmacodynamic response and patient selection.
• Apply systems biology, network analysis and statistical/ML methods to connect targets, pathways, biomarkers and clinical phenotypes.
• Partner with discovery, translational and clinical teams so that biomarker outputs support decision making.
• Contribute to best practices, reusable pipelines and scalable platforms for multiomics biomarker discovery.
• Communicate complex analytical results clearly to scientific and clinical stakeholders through narratives, visualisations and presentations.

Required profile

• PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, Genetics, Biostatistics or a related quantitative life science discipline, with relevant postdoctoral or industry experience; or a master's degree with at least 4 years of relevant experience.
• Strong hands-on experience in multiomics data integration and analysis for human disease.
• Demonstrated expertise in biomarker discovery, patient stratification or translational data science.
• Solid understanding of human genetics, functional genomics and molecular disease mechanisms.
• Proven ability to work in cross-functional, matrixed research environments.

Required skills

• Proficiency in programming and data analysis (e.g. R, Python) and working with large-scale biological datasets.
• Multiomics data integration and analysis.
• Preferred: familiarity with proteomics, single-cell and spatial omics, and exposure to AI/ML approaches for biomarker discovery or patient stratification.

What we offer

• Base pay range of EUR 44,000 to EUR 70,840.
• An annual bonus with a set target depending on pay grade and location, plus possible sales commissions.
• Vacation days, parental leave of at least 12 weeks, bereavement, caregiver and volunteer leave, well-being reimbursement and health programmes.
• Service anniversary and recognition awards, and insurance plans for eligible employees and dependents.
