- Partner with experimental scientists and domain experts to elicit and refine scientific concepts into semantic models
- Embed semantic layers into data pipelines, catalogs, and knowledge graph platforms alongside data engineers
- Model scientific entities, processes, workflows, and experimental activities to enable provenance capture and data reuse




- Establish semantic standards and publish ontology packages as API-ready assets for AI/ML workflows and data products

Requirements

- Expertise in ontology design, OWL/RDF modeling, and semantic standards
- Experience building knowledge graphs and semantic data integration pipelines
- Strong background in life sciences, biologics, or related computational biology domain
- Demonstrated ability to translate complex scientific concepts into computable models
- Proficiency with SKOS vocabularies, SHACL constraints, and semantic web technologies
- Experience collaborating across cross-functional teams including data engineers and domain scientists
