Flagship Pioneering, Inc.
We are Flagship Pioneering We are a biotechnology company that invents platforms and builds companies that change the world. CEO Chats from the Flagship…What if you could join a rapidly growing company and play a critical role in bringing new medicines to patients through looking at and treating disease in a revolutionary way.
What this position is all about: Are you a highly motivated and organized computational scientist who is enthusiastic about developing, learning, and applying your computational skills to understand complex biological systems?
You’ll get the opportunity to work in an innovative computational team, driven to deliver high-impact results. You will be in an early group of pioneers developing the world's first AI platform that unveils the causes of emergent disease based on cellular understanding.
You will begin your career at Cellarity with a slew of world-class computational biologists and machine learning scientists (https://cellarity.com/the-team), biologists (co-developing hypotheses), chemists, clinicians, and technologists (co-developing proprietary data assets).
If you think you can contribute to any of these aspects/capabilities that we are building and are keen on testing your hypotheses and learning from some of the best scientists, whilst getting to work with proprietary and relevant data sets, then we are looking for you.
What you would be responsible for:
- Develop and apply computational biology and machine learning tools to generate insights and hypotheses from high-dimensional molecular datasets, with a focus on scRNA-seq & snRNA-seq paired with phenotypic readouts.
- Develop data analysis strategies and lead computational analyses on diverse biological and clinically relevant projects.
- Collaborate closely with experimental scientists from various teams and ensure that data is interrogated to deliver high value readouts.
- Contribute to experimental study designs that allow to measure what we predict.
- Present your results in an interdisciplinary team of biologists, chemists, clinicians, technologists, and other machine learning colleagues in meetings varying covering cross-functional project teams, functional teams, to whole company and management meetings.
What experiences will you need:
- Ph.D. or Master's degree in biology, computational biology, or related scientific field.
- Minimum of 1 year relevant post graduate experience within academia and/or industry.
- Demonstrated scientific understanding of molecular and systems biology, diverse molecular data types, and analysis tools.
- Practical programming and scripting skills, preferably in Python.
- Fast learner, analytical thinker, creative, "hands-on", strong communication skills.
- Able to work both independently and as part of a team.
- We would like to see your GitHub repository or papers that can showcase this. If you are from biotech/pharma, we would ask you to share (where you can), your experiences with a focus on your role and what you specifically contributed to in a program.
What sets you apart:
- Experience driving an impactful and relevant project within industry.
- Experience with biological, medical, chemical data.
- Experience with emergent behavior in complex systems, time series analysis, causal inference, domain adaptation, transfer learning, multi-modal deep learning, geometric deep learning (learning on graphs and/or manifolds)
- Ability to Google error messages and seek resolution from self-investigation and/or get advice from the rest of the crew
- Interested in learning any of the above
