    • Ph.D. in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Immunology, or related field (or masters with experience)
    • 5+ years of professional experience in bioinformatics or computational immunology
    • Demonstrated expertise in immunoinformatics methodologies (HLA binding prediction, epitope analysis, immunogenicity assessment)
    • Strong programming skills (Python, R, Perl, or similar)
    • Familiarity with sequence databases (GenBank, UniProt) and protein sequence analysis tools
    • Research or professional background in oncology and/or infectious diseases
    • Experience managing complex research programs with multiple stakeholders
    • Strong communication skills; ability to convey complex immunoinformatics concepts to diverse audiences

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with various computational immunology platform or similar integrated immunoinformatics suites
    • Background in vaccine development or immunotherapy
    • Experience with regulatory submissions involving computational methods
    • Published research in peer-reviewed journals
