The OpportunityKey to insitro’s approach to rethinking drug development is leveraging disease models, genetics, and clinical datasets to link in vitro and cellular phenotypes with patient outcomes. Machine Learning for science plays a key role across the value chain in Insitro’s approach towards data driven drug discovery.
As an applied machine learning researcher, you will develop cutting edge ML approaches to analyze and integrate large-scale biological, human, or chemical datasets.You will work with colleagues across different domains of ML and contribute models, methods, algorithms, analysis techniques, and code towards improving the Insitro platform in concrete, measurable ways and to push the field forwards with IP and publications. You will develop techniques and infrastructure for relevant problems in the drug discovery setting inspired by Insitro’s needs under  various real world conditions, such as distribution shift, data missingness, small sample sizes, decision making, and many other problems.You will also work closely with a cross-functional team of life scientists, statistical geneticists, bioengineers, computer vision scientists, genomics scientists, medical scientists, and software engineers to integrate human-level data with our high-throughput in-house in vitro genomic and phenotypic data, with the goal of identifying therapeutic targets and developing drugs that have high efficacy and low toxicity.
You will be joining a vibrant biotech startup that has long-term stability, due to significant funding, and is in a high growth phase. A lot can change in this early and exciting phase, providing many opportunities for significant impact. You will work closely with a very talented team, learn a broad range of skills, and help shape insitro’s culture, strategic direction, and outcomes. Join us, and help make a difference to patients!
This role is preferably based in San Francisco Bay Area or Boston, but we are open to discussing other locations in the United States and the UK.
