Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network
Bioimage Informatics Scientist - Image Analysis & Machine Learning
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco
(CZ Biohub SF) is an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. CZ Biohub SF itself supports some of the brightest, boldest engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all.
Our VisionWe pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environmentsWe enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideasThe technologies developed at CZ Biohub San Francisco facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyondDiversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.
The OpportunityCome join an interdisciplinary team of biologists, data scientists, and engineers! This position is a collaboration between the groups of Loic Royer and Manu Leonetti at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub. We strive to map how the human cell is built by combining CRISPR, fluorescence microscopy, proteomics, robotics, software engineering, and data science. We build large datasets and use them to develop new algorithms and analyses. Our tools and data include:OpenCell, a large reference of protein localization and interactions that can be mined and re-used by the entire community for discovery.Innovative self-supervised machine learning algorithms like cytoself to encode protein localization patterns or aydin to denoise images. Royer’s team also co-founded napari, an interactive and multi-dimensional image viewer for Python with >10,000 users worldwide.Our science is fully open-source and published in journals like Science and Nature Methods.
We are seeking a
Bioimage Informatics Scientist - Image Analysis & Machine Learning
to spearhead our next efforts to extract quantitative biological insights from millions of fluorescence microscopy images. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the leading edge of machine learning and systems biology, supported by experts in a highly collaborative and well-funded scientific environment.
What You'll DoDesign pipelines for image processing of biological microscopy dataConceive novel deep learning-based algorithms to obtain new insights from our unique image datasetsPartner with biology experts to identify and quantify cellular responses in response to a variety of perturbations (e.g., CRISPR screens, drug treatments, or viral infection)Explain technical concepts to a multi-disciplinary team of biologists, bioengineers, and data scientists at the BiohubAuthor publications & mentor junior colleaguesWhat You'll BringEssential –PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, or a related discipline. This can be waived if the candidate demonstrates exceptional knowledge and experience.At least 3 years of expertise in image processing and scientific programming in Python (e.g. NumPy, SciPy, scikit-image, TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.)Experience with and interest in biological imaging and cell biologyEnthusiasm for systems biology and open-source softwareFamiliarity with professional software development best practices (documentation, version control, CI/CD pipelines)Must be highly collaborative, team-oriented, and have excellent written and oral communication skillsNice to have -Experience with fluorescence microscopyExperience building and training deep neural networks for computer vision tasksFamiliarity with relational databases and cloud-based platforms (like AWS)The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network requires all employees, contractors, and interns, regardless of work location or type of role, to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination, including a booster vaccine dose, if eligible, by their start date. Those who are unable to get vaccinated or obtain a booster dose because of a disability, or who choose not to be vaccinated due to a sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance must have an approved exception prior to their start date.
CompensationData Scientist I = $108,000 - $148,500Data Scientist II = $124,000 - $170,500New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. To determine starting pay, we consider multiple job-related factors including a candidate’s skills, education and experience, market demand, business needs, and internal parity. We may also adjust this range in the future based on market data. Your recruiter can share more about the specific pay range during the hiring process.
What We ProvideResources to disrupt and innovate at the frontiers of our knowledge of biology and diseaseA collegial and collaborative environment consisting of diverse expertiseExisting collaborations within CZ Biohub: Technology Platforms (Bioengineering, Computational Microscopy, Data Science, Genomics & Mass Spectrometry), Infectious Disease, and Quantitative Cell ScienceAccess to collaborators, resources, and facilities at our three partner universities (Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco) and at partner organizations in the Bay Area and beyondCompetitive compensation and benefits commensurate with the experienceBenefitsWe offer a robust benefits program that enables the important work Biohubbers do every day. Our benefits include healthcare coverage, life and disability insurance, commuter subsidies, family planning services with fertility care, childcare stipend, 401(k) match, flexible time off, and a generous parental leave policy. In addition, we honor our commitment to career development and our value of scholarly excellence through regular onsite opportunities to learn from the world's leading scientists.
The CZ Biohub Network is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive organization where all Biohubbers feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution. Therefore, we provide employment opportunities without regard to age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or any other protected status in accordance with applicable law.
