Scientific Project Manager

Job description

À propos

Scienta is a deeptech company advancing translational research in immunology.

We develop EVA, the first AI foundation model purpose-built for translational prediction in immune-mediated diseases. EVA addresses one of the biggest challenges in pharma R&D: the preclinical–clinical gap, where fewer than 10% of immune drug programs successfully translate to humans. Our mission is to bring predictive clarity to this high-risk phase of development.

Built on more than 3 billion multimodal data points across 30 diseases and 70 tissues, EVA is designed to reason like an immunologist. Its biology-first architecture translates early experimental signals into predicted patient outcomes, with explainable outputs such as pathway-level activity and mechanism-linked biomarkers that directly inform R&D decisions.

Our approach is scientifically validated. In inflammatory bowel disease, EVA accurately replicated anti-TNF clinical trial outcomes using only preclinical and baseline transcriptomic data, outperforming existing academic and private models. Our work is backed by 18 peer-reviewed publications and 2 patents.

Located at BioLabs Hôtel-Dieu (Paris), Scienta is supported by leading investors, was selected among Station F’s Future 40, and named a laureate of the EIC Accelerator. Our team brings together AI, immunology, and pharma expertise, with a strong PhD backbone.

If you want to work on hard scientific problems with real impact, you’ll feel at home at Scienta!

You will be responsible for the scientific relevance and the quality of the results of your projects;

· 
You will provide biomedical guidance to internal stakeholders;

· 
You will conduct literature reviews, analyse scientific data, and will write scientific protocols in data science applied to immunology;

In addition, as we operate in a startup environment, we value adaptability. You may occasionally be asked to contribute to tasks outside of your core responsibilities. We estimate that up to 5% of your time may be dedicated to company-wide collaborative efforts.

Profil recherché

· 
Master’s degree in immunology, biomedical sciences, Pharm D, or related field;

· 
3-5 years of experience in project management, especially data sciences in medicine;

· 
Solid understanding of drug research and development, particularly translational research (biomarkers, MoA, stratification, etc.);

· 
Excellent communication, networking, and interpersonal abilities;

· 
Strong scientific background in immunology and molecular biology;

· 
Full proficiency in English.
