Job Description:

J&J Innovative Medicine - Data, Data Science, and AI - Global Development (DDSAI GD) is recruiting a Principal Scientist. The ideal candidate will Lead analytics, ML, optimization, and GenAI that rely primarily on realworld data to inform clinical trial design, feasibility, and execution facilitation, translate insights from RWD sources (e.g., EHR, claims, registries, digital health) into clear recommendations that shape protocol decisions and operational plans.

J&J Innovative Medicine develops treatments that improve the health of people worldwide. Research and development areas encompass oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, immunology, pulmonary hypertension, neuroscience, and infectious disease. Our goal is to help people live longer, healthier lives. We have produced and marketed many first-in-class prescription medications and are poised to serve the broad needs of the healthcare market - from patients to practitioners and from clinics to hospitals.

Key responsibilities:

• Use RWD to quantify disease prevalence, care pathways, and the impact of inclusion/exclusion criteria; produce feasibility scoring across geographies, sites, and subpopulations.

• Assess RWDfeasible endpoints and proxies; evaluate availability, completeness, quality, and signaltonoise to guide protocol design choices.

• Construct RWDbased cohorts and external/synthetic controls to benchmark protocol decisions and stresstest samplesize/timeline assumptions.

• Develop ML and multiobjective optimization solutions primarily powered by RWD to surface tradeoffs (speed, quality, cost, diversity) and recommend design and operational scenarios informed by realworld care patterns.

• Build RWDcalibrated stochastic simulations of patient journeys to forecast timeline sensitivities and completion risk; provide RWD features, calibration sets, and feasibility constraints to the partner team's enrollment/screenfailure/retention models.

• Adapt LLMs/GenAI for structured extraction from RWD artifacts (structured and unstructured EHR, notes, radiology/pathology reports, claims, registries); harmonize concepts to standard vocabularies to support eligibility criteria evaluation and scheduleofactivities insights grounded in realworld practice.

• Clearly communicate RWDbased assumptions, methods, and results to clinical, operational, and leadership stakeholders; coach and mentor colleagues on RWD methodologies, pipelines, and best practices.

Required qualifications:

• A Ph.D. degree in quantitative discipline (e.g., computer science, electrical and computer engineering, biostatistics, health economics, biomedical informatics, applied mathematics, or similar),

• 5+ years delivering ML/NLP/GenAI and multi objective optimization solutions with primary reliance on RWD (EHR, claims, registries, digital health), including collaboration with operations analytics teams.

• Hands on experience with multimodal RWD (structured + unstructured) predictive modeling and stochastic simulations for feasibility and time series scenario forecasting.

• Demonstrated ability to construct, validate, and deploy models from RWD to inform trial feasibility, endpoint selection, eligibility criteria effects, and external control design.

• Experience building optimization engines (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, reinforcement learning, mixed integer linear programming) using RWD derived signals to navigate complex tradeoffs.

• Proficiency in MLOps (e.g., MLflow, Kedro), Git, and CI/CD; strong programming skills in Python and SQL; familiarity with DSPy/LangChain, pymoo, scikit learn, XGBoost, Optuna, PyMC.

• Familiarity with healthcare privacy/compliance, de identification practices, and RWD data quality management; ability to integrate outputs from operational systems/models when needed while keeping the analytical core RWD driven.

Preferred qualifications:

• Demonstrated expertise applying RWD methods to inform trial design: target trial emulation, propensity weighting/matching, and survival/timetoevent analyses for endpoint feasibility and external/synthetic controls.

• Proven collaboration with operations analytics teams by supplying RWDderived cohorts, features, and feasibility evidence that improved enrollment forecasting, site selection, and diversity goals.
