About The Position

This individual contributor role is responsible for conducting analyses of large-scale human genetic and phenotypic datasets for the discovery and validation of new therapeutic targets at the Regeneron Genetics Center (RGC). Work draws on both in-house and public data resources, integrating genetic data with multi-omics datasets and applying state-of-the-art statistical methodologies across analytic and translational genetics. The role collaborates closely with pre-clinical and clinical development teams colleagues across Regeneron’s R&D functions.

Requirements

• PhD with at least 3+ years of relevant experience
• Expertise in genetic association analyses using large-scale genetic data
• Proficiency in multi-omic data integration for therapeutic target discovery
• Experience developing and implementing data harmonization and normalization methods
• Experience with genetic analysis approaches including GWAS, EXWAS, rare variant analysis, Mendelian randomization, LD Score regression, polygenic risk score modeling, pleiotropy analysis, meta-analysis, and use of functional data to prioritize variants and genes
• Ability to independently lead and manage research projects from conception to completion
• Strong communication and collaboration skills; proven track record of effective work in interdisciplinary teams
• Outstanding ability to summarize and present human genetic study results to diverse technical audiences, from statistical genetics specialists to biologists, drug designers, and clinicians
• Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, R, C/C++, Bash, and/or Julia.
