Lilly Jobs

At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees around the world work to discover and bring life-changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first. We’re looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world.

The Diabetes, Obesity and Complications Therapeutic Area (DOCTA) of Eli Lilly and Company focuses on new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of diabetes, obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. Starting from an idea, we work with partners across Lilly to discover and develop novel biologic, small molecule and nucleic acid-based therapeutics. Our focus is the patient: by understanding the biology and pathophysiology underlying disease states, we aim to address the root cause of disease, and develop breakthrough therapies. We have one of the strongest pipelines in the industry and a track record of delivering impactful medicines that improve people’s lives.

Are you a computational scientist at heart, excited by new technological advances and scientific discoveries? Do you get lost in the literature and stay after conference talks to learn more? Are you eager to apply both standard best-in-class and innovative tools for biological discovery? The Computational Biology role within the Diabetes, Obesity and Complications Therapeutic Area is an exciting opportunity for a team-oriented scientist with deep biological and technical knowledge to apply ground breaking technologies to one of the most dynamic and exciting fields of research today. In this hands-on role, you will work cross-functionally with researchers across DOCTA to design and implement studies of multi-omics data sets to understand disease biology, identify therapeutic mechanisms of action, and discover new targets and indications in the cardiometabolic, renal, and other metabolic complications areas. You will be responsible for analyzing and interpreting data from internal and external sources, and then clearly communicating complex results to non-computational scientists. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to directly impact the DOCTA pipeline, ultimately driving the scientific field forward and bringing innovative therapies to patients. Apply today to join the Lilly Team!
