(Senior) Epigenetics Computational Biologist
ConceptionFull Time
Senior (5 to 8 years)
A Ph.D. with 1-2 years of experience or a Master's degree with 3-4 years of experience, or comparable experience in a relevant computational science field like computational biology, bioengineering, or biostatistics is required. Candidates must possess a strong background in data processing and analysis, familiarity with statistics and machine learning techniques (including neural networks, generative models, ensemble learning, regression, classification, and regularization), proficiency in Python with data analysis libraries (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow/PyTorch), and familiarity with version control systems like Gitlab or Github.
Collaborate with biologists and computational scientists to visualize, preprocess, and analyze datasets from human tissue models and bioengineering experiments. Create clear data visualizations and statistical summaries to communicate findings to diverse audiences, including designing and building user interfaces. Develop predictive models and algorithms to identify factors affecting tissue model development, manufacturing, and use. Work with scientists and engineers to optimize experimental conditions and model in-vitro phenotypic responses to perturbations. Build models using large datasets to explain experimental variability and inform scientists on optimizing experiments and engineered tissue production through multivariate analyses, time series data processing, and other statistical and machine learning modeling techniques.
