Job Description

At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it.

The Early Neuro Translational IPS team implements disease progression models with biomarkers in Alzheimer’s cohort data to stage patients and identify progression subtypes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Harmonize multi-cohort Alzheimer’s disease biomarker data.
  • Apply a modeling algorithm for disease staging and subtyping.
  • Compare results with other approaches and communicate findings.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Current PhD student in computational biology, bioinformatics, statistics or a related field, with experience analyzing biomedical data.
  • All candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of hire and for the duration of their employment. Please note that visa sponsorship, including for student or temporary work authorization programs, is not available for this role. Candidates must have work authorization that does not require sponsorship now or in the future.

Core Skills

  • Linux
  • R or Python programming
  • Statistical modeling
  • Clear scientific communication

We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway.

Compensation Overview

$37.00 - $45.00
