Data Analyst Research I

Position Summary

We are seeking a contractor with a background combining AI rapid prototyping and Predictive Modeling to support the DAISAE platform and predictive analytics subteams within the RDE 9 program. This role focuses on co-developing shared data and technical foundations (e.g. Ontologies, Knowledge Graphs), prototyping agentic AI capabilities, and advancing predictive models for drug safety risk prediction across the product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

* AI Prototyping & MCP Tool Development: Rapidly explore, evaluate, and prototype emerging AI tools and agentic capabilities, specifically developing MCP tools and AI agent integrations for DAISAE.

* Predictive Modeling: Build and refine predictive models using multi-modal datasets (including in vitro, in vivo, omics, clinical trial data, real-world data (RWD), and spontaneous safety reports) to enable risk prediction from early molecule-level evaluation to late-stage and post-marketing patient safety.

* Architecture & Platform Design: Translate feasibility findings and prototype evaluations into concrete architectural design and platform requirements for shared data and technical foundations.

* Co-Development & Governance Collaboration: Work in an agile way to prototype reusable technical capabilities before transitioning components to DT (Digital Tech) for formal validation, compliance, and production rollout.

* Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with data scientists, safety scientists, and DT technical partners to ensure technical execution aligns with business priorities.

Qualifications & Experience

* Education: MSc or PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, or a related quantitative field.

* Technical Expertise:

* Strong expertise in predictive modeling, machine learning, and AI prototyping.

* Hands-on experience developing agentic AI systems, LLM tools, and MCP tools.

* Proficiency in handling biomedical datasets (omics, clinical trials, RWD, or in vitro/in vivo data).

* Agile prototyping mindset with software engineering skills tailored for data science.

* Domain Knowledge:

* Background in pharmacovigilance, drug safety, toxicology, or quantitative risk management is highly desirable.

* Soft Skills:

* “AI native” approach to problem-solving with adaptability to fast-moving frameworks.

* Proactive attitude and strong communication skills suitable for global matrix team settings.

Pay Rate Range: $60-71/hr depending on experience
