Computational biology is key to translate measurements into actionable outcomes through clinically relevant insights derived from rich datasets generated in-house. We are looking to hire a new team member with expertise in omics-based analyses, including deep understanding of single cell transcriptomics (e.g. perturbation screens), and fluent with state-of-the-art analysis techniques (e.g. large scale atlas integration). Your expertise will help the team navigate the complexities of transcriptomics data and ensure that the tools being developed are accurate and effective, and that the analyses are performed to the highest rigor and in line with best practices in the field. In this role, you will directly impact all target prioritization efforts, advance our understanding of diseases and aid the development of new treatments. In general, as a computational biologist at insitro, you will be in charge of performing analysis of large scale datasets with an emphasis on multimodal measurements and data integration. You will utilize diverse machine learning and bioinformatic methods to perform downstream analysis and integrate omics, imaging, and human cohort data in order to extract insights about disease mechanisms. You will be part of a cross-functional team of life scientists, data scientists, bioengineers, software engineers, and machine learning scientists that strive to identify therapeutic targets and develop drugs of 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, and you will have 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!
