**HOW MIGHT YOU DEFY IMAGINATION?**
You've earned your degree. How will you use that achievement to reach your goals? Do more with the knowledge you've worked hard to acquire and the passion you already have. At Amgen, our shared mission-to serve patients-drives all that we do. It is key to our becoming one of the world's leading biotechnology companies, reaching over 10 million patients worldwide. Become the professional you are meant to be in this meaningful role.
**Scientist - Proteomics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology**
**Live**
**What you will do**
The Discovery Proteomics group at our South San Francisco campus is tasked with developing and implementing proteomic characterization technologies in support of Amgen's early discovery pipeline
Let's do this. Let's change the world. In this vital role you will you will conduct statistical analysis, data ingestion, and computational pipeline development for internal and external mass spectrometry-based and other type of proteomics data to support biomarker discovery, target validation, experimental design, and mechanism‐of‐action studies. You will work closely with other lab-based scientists in the Discovery Proteomics group, genomics, and software engineers in the Research Informatics team to support multi-omics data integration. Demonstrated expertise in modern data analysis and statistical
**Specific responsibilities include but are not limited to:**
+ Enable Amgen's preclinical pipeline through delivery of innovative technologies and technical expertise
+ Implementation of data analysis, management, and visualization
+ strategies for the complex proteomics and posttranslational data generated by mass spectrometry and other technologies.
+ Develop and establish computational solutions for differential protein expression analysis, protein turnover rate estimation, and protein-protein interaction identification.
+ Work across genomic and proteomic platforms, and potentially other 'omic' platforms, for data integration and mining, applying available external resources where appropriate.
