Offer description

Selvita is a global integrated service provider with laboratories in Poland (Krakow, Poznan, and Wroclaw), Croatia (Zagreb), and offices in Cambridge, UK, as well as the Greater Boston Area and San Francisco Bay Area in the US. Our company is dedicated to delivering comprehensive solutions that support our international clients in drug discovery and drug development.

As one of the largest preclinical contract research organizations in Europe, Selvita is driven by a clear mission: to bridge the gap between early drug discovery and the clinical stage of drug development.

At Selvita, we value partnership, excellence, passion, commitment, and integrity. We build strong, collaborative relationships with our clients and commit to the highest standards of quality. We fuel our pursuit of innovative solutions with enthusiasm, advance drug development with focused dedication, and ensure honesty and transparency in all our work.

Currently, we are looking for a Bioinformatics Scientist to join a newly established bioinformatics team. This role offers the opportunity to work on diverse and engaging scientific projects, including the implementation of standard omics data analysis pipelines as well as intensity-based data analysis. You will work in a collaborative, dynamic, and friendly environment, closely cooperating with scientists within interdisciplinary research teams.

We are open to both junior-level candidates and more experienced professionals — the final position level will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and interview performance.

Join us at Selvita, where these values guide our mission to advance drug discovery to the clinical stage of drug development.
