Profile

C-CAMP is partnering with a leading global life-sciences investment and innovation organization to build a dedicated scientific services team in Bangalore. The team will support high-impact work spanning biotechnology research, AI-enabled scientific intelligence, computational drug discovery, and early-stage healthcare innovation.

The AI-enabled competitive intelligence team supporting the global group is a core pillar of this new scientific initiative at C-CAMP. The team helps the partner organization and its portfolio companies across healthcare and planetary health understand where the world is heading, spot which technologies are likely to win, and identify key incumbents and disruptors — mapping critical business pathways to learn how great ideas become durable businesses with real-world impact.

These Research Scientists build and maintain the systems, tools, and data infrastructure underlying the partner organization's research and investment process. They specialize in developing comprehensive knowledge of the therapeutic landscape, mapping every relevant program, dataset, and key player across their areas of coverage. We seek individuals who are intellectually curious, analytically rigorous, and motivated by the challenge of finding signal before others do.

Candidates must bring demonstrated AI expertise and a builder's mindset — not just using AI, but fluent in the latest tools and frameworks and actively creating new tools and workflows that expand what the team can do: automating recurring processes, improving the rigor of research, and enabling new types of work not previously feasible at scale. AI is central to this role; we are specifically looking for people who can push the frontier of how the team operates.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain comprehensive competitive landscape databases capturing all known clinical and preclinical data across programs in a given therapeutic area.
• Mine patents, publications, and conference abstracts at scale to identify novel programs, emerging mechanisms, and new companies.
• Stay current on emerging scientific trends, novel mechanisms, and early signals of credibility across multiple therapeutic landscapes.
• Interview and survey key opinion leaders and treating physicians to understand standard of care, unmet needs, and likely reception of therapies in development.
• Design and build AI-native tools and workflows that improve how the investment team researches, analyzes, and synthesizes competitive and scientific information — automating recurring processes, data validation and quality checks, and new capabilities that expand what the team can take on at scale.
• Stay current on the rapidly evolving AI tool landscape and proactively identify opportunities to apply new models, frameworks, or approaches to improve quality and efficiency.
• Communicate analyses and competitive intelligence in written and oral forms.
• Assess inbound investment opportunities and provide competitive context to inform initial recommendations to the team.

Qualifications

PhD in the biological sciences or MBBS required

To Apply

Apply by sending your CV to rails.bio@ccamp.res.in by Oct 31, 2026 with Competitive Intelligence Research Scientist mentioned in subject line.
