Job Description

Senior Clinical Data Scientist

Unlearn exists to transform clinical development by making every trial smarter. We harness data, AI, and digital twins to enable faster, more robust studies that bring life-saving treatments to patients faster. This mission drives everything we do as we partner with biopharmaceutical companies to redesign how clinical trials are planned, run, and analyzed.

We are defining the future of clinical development with unmatched scientific credibility, replacing uncertainty with AI-powered precision so decisions are clearer and trials are stronger. We don't just disrupt the pharmaceutical industry, we create lasting change.

We believe AI will define the future of medicine, and we are committed to building that future responsibly, rigorously, and in close collaboration with our partners in clinical development.

Headquartered in San Francisco, Unlearn was founded in 2017 by a team of world-class machine learning scientists. We have raised venture capital from top tier investors and completed our $50 million Series C in January 2024.

  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams of data scientists, machine learning scientists, engineers, and clinicians to design, build, and maintain robust data products grounded in sound data organization, domain knowledge, and careful analysis.
  • Communicate technical findings, data characteristics, and limitations clearly and effectively to both internal partners and external collaborators, including in forward-deployed, client-facing settings.
Requirements
  • BS or advanced degree in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Psychology, Public Health, or related discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience wrangling data from disparate sources, data cleaning, and harmonizing datasets for analysis.
  • Experience working with complex or nuanced datasets.
  • Fluency in Python and its essential data science tools (numpy, pandas).
  • Demonstrated experience in collaborative software development.
  • Experience with clinical datasets in applied machine learning applications.
  • Experience working in multidisciplinary teams that include scientists, engineers, and product management.
  • Prior experience in forward-deployed, client-facing settings.
  • Experience in clinical/healthcare data.
  • Experience with regulatory-facing clinical data standards (e.g., CDISC, ADaM, SDTM).
