Role

Parexel is looking for a Senior Associate Bioinformatics Scientist to work with one of our large sponsors. The role is remote based but you must live and have the right to work in one of the following EMEA countries only:

United Kingdom
Germany
France
Spain
Romania
Serbia
Lithuania
Poland

The Senior Associate Bioinformatics Scientist will fulfill a quantitative bioinformatics role that supports analysis, data operations/QC, visualization tools, pipeline automation and cross-study data integration support. The role involves the execution of well defined requests such as figure/analysis iterations, running QC data analysis, maintaining data and results viewers, and possible AI assisted analysis code development. The role works within existing analysis plans and technical frameworks, and escalates anything that needs advance scientific interpretation and presentation.

Job Responsibilities

Data Analysis

Figure and analysis updates: Support adhoc requests and updates to analyses and outputs such as figures with different splits/subsets, labels, groupings, color palettes, and formatting while preserving the underlying statistical results.
Pipeline execution: run and optimize automated processing pipelines, perform routine QC on outputs, and document run parameters, versions, and any deviations.
Data QC / results QC: execute QC checks on data and result deliverables, generate QC summaries, and route issues for resolution.
Results Data viewers: Refresh RMarkdown/Quarto or Shiny data viewers using approved templates for single-study and cross-study exploration; package and publish outputs in the agreed team format.
Cross-study database integration support: contribute to data collation, standardization, and ingestion activities (mapping variables, harmonizing identifiers, validating joins, running ETL checks)

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

It searches the market for you

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Experiment Preparation

Link randomization: generate balanced layouts using the teams approved algorithm, validate balance metrics and coordinate downstream sample list submission steps.

Open Source Code Development

Claude Code sharing and optimization: maintain a reusable library of prompts/snippets/skills for common tasks (e.g., data viewer creation), define standards (style, testing, documentation), and provide light enablement to ensure consistent AI-assisted workflows.

Job Requirements

Technical Skills:

Experience in open-source programming such as R, R Shiny, and bash
Experience using version control tools (git)
Experience using Claude Code and other AI tools

Other Skills

Familiarity with basic statistical modeling fundamentals (linear/logistic models, survival concepts, multiple testing awareness)
Detail oriented with a QC mindset and validation
Good communication and collaboration skills.
Comfortable with quick paced environment
