TL;DR

Pfizer’s Drug Safety Research and Development team seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to develop AI-driven multi-omics integration for predictive toxicology, focusing on benchmarking biological foundation models against curated cross-species datasets and building end-to-end pipelines that connect early omics readouts with downstream endpoints. The fellow will leverage Python or R to implement scalable workflows, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and communicate findings through publications and presentations. Ideal candidates have a Ph.D. in computational biology or related fields, proficiency in AI/ML techniques including deep learning frameworks like PyTorch, and experience with high-dimensional biological data analysis tools such as Scanpy and Seurat. This role aims to advance drug safety science by identifying novel biomarkers predictive of human toxicity from preclinical data.
