At myNEO, we are looking for a data scientist with a strong AI/ML background to help drive innovation in cancer immunotherapy. You will work on state-of-the-art AI models that help identify novel tumor-specific targets using multi-omics data, contributing directly to the development of personalized and off-the-shelf treatments. If you thrive in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment where innovation meets purpose – this is your opportunity to make a difference.
Who we are?
myNEO is a Belgian-based biotech company headquartered in Ghent, dedicated to advancing cancer immunotherapy. We develop and continuously optimize best-in-class AI models, driven by both proprietary experiments and public data. At the core of our platform is a data-driven pipeline focused on identifying tumor-specific antigens in individual patients or patient cohorts.
Our multidisciplinary team consists of experts in bioinformatics, data science, tumor immunology, and therapeutic development. As a young and growing company, we empower employees with ownership from day one. We foster an open, flexible, and collaborative environment where personal growth, innovation, and impactful science go hand in hand.
What is the job about?
As an AI/ML Data Scientist at myNEO, your responsibilities will include:
* Design and optimize deep learning models (e.g., CNNs, transformers) to discover novel tumor-specific targets from multi-omics data.
* Translate biological hypotheses into AI/ML tasks such as classification or ranking.
* Develop scalable, reproducible ML workflows in cloud-based environments.
* Continuously validate and improve model performance using feedback from experimental and clinical validation.
* Work cross-functionally to ensure scientific findings are interpretable and clinically relevant.
* Stay at the forefront of ML and bioinformatics research through literature review and conferences.
* Contribute to building a strong data science culture.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a full-time data scientist with the following profile:
* PhD or equivalent experience in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Machine Learning and Modeling, Computer Science, or a related field.
* 3+ years of hands-on experience with AI/ML, preferably within life sciences.
* Strong proficiency with Python and ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
* Some experience with omics data (RNA-seq, WGS, MS) and its integration into ML workflows is preferred.
* Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).
* Experience with containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes) and workflow systems (Snakemake) is a plus.
* Some knowledge of cancer biology or immunology is a plus.
* A proactive, solution-oriented mindset and ability to work independently.
* Excellent teamwork and communication skills.
What do we offer?
* Competitive salary package.
* Flexible working hours and 2 days/week home office.
