When you join BMS, you are joining a high-achieving team united by a common mission.

The Informatics and Predictive Sciences (IPS) mission is to Pioneer, Partner and Predict to drive transformative insights for patient benefit.  IPS conducts applied computational research in areas that include genomic, structural and molecular informatics, computational and systems biology, patient selection and translational biomarker research, and broader fields including knowledge science, epidemiology and machine learning—across the full lifecycle of drug discovery and development and across all therapeutic areas at BMS.

We do this in close partnership with scientific and clinical experts in the field, both inside and outside the company.   We perform innovative science to empower key data-driven decisions across a rich pipeline of next-generation medicines. In doing so, our work transforms the lives of patients, as well as our own lives and careers.

Here, you’ll get the chance to grow and thrive through opportunities that are uncommon in scale and scope. You’ll pursue innovative ideas while advancing professionally alongside some of the brightest minds in biopharma.

We seek a creative and passionate computational scientist to join the Cell Therapy team within Informatics and Predictive Sciences, a globally distributed group driving innovative computational research for discovery and clinical development. In this role, you will apply your analytical skills to analysis of a broad array of datasets generated from clinical cell therapy studies. You will work as part of a cross-functional team focused on cell therapy programs across all stages of development.

In so doing, you will contribute to the development of novel therapeutic approaches that directly address unmet medical need in oncology and autoimmune diseases.
