This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, growing FRO startup, which is still in stealth. We are looking for a Computational Immunologist/Bioinformatician with experience in the modeling and analysis of large-scale immunological datasets. The successful candidate will develop pipelines for and contribute to the analysis of large-scale adaptive immune cell datasets. You will work closely with other computational and experimental scientists to create groundbreaking new insights into adaptive immunity.

Responsibilities

• Design, prototype, implement, computational pipelines for high-throughput immune cell datasets (both bulk and single-cell as well as other functional data types)
• Perform deep and detailed analyses for data-intensive experiments
• Prepare large-scale datasets for internal and external usage
• Hands-on development of interactive tools for other teammates (RShiny, Python)
• Demonstrate a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and cultural awareness through actions, interactions, and communications with others
  
  
  

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in computational biology, bioinformatics, or related fields is required
• Experience in adaptive immunity research
• Proven track record of developing computational analysis of immune cell data
• Expertise with sc-RNAseq data
• Proficiency with Python/R, associated analyses and visualization packages, as well as command line
• Expertise with good practices for reproducible research (git, Jupyter)
  
  
  

Advanced Qualifications (experience in one or all of the following is preferred, but not required)

• Experience with cloud computing platforms
• Experience in machine learning
• Experience with simulation frameworks for immune receptor data
  
  
  

We offer

• Competitive compensation: $90,000 - $120,000 a year
• Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous time off + paid holidays
• A supportive environment to learn and develop new skills
• An opportunity to participate in high-impact, fast-paced, cutting-edge, collaborative team science; contribute to curing disease; and work with leading experts from different fields
• Exciting location in the Soho area of Manhattan
  
  
  

We aim to help fill a structural gap in today's R&D system. We enable fundamental research that requires unusual levels of scale and coordination yet is not rapidly monetizable by industry. We’re bringing together top talent from academia, industry, and startups to build a new model for innovative R&D. As an incubator within the Schmidt Futures Network, we identify high-impact scientific or technical research and development opportunities, ultimately defining and launching these projects as Focused Research Organizations.
