Description

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education to addressing the needs of our local communities. Our mission is to build a more inclusive, just, and healthy future for everyone.

The Team

CZI supports the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of this century. While this may seem like an audacious goal, in the last 100 years, biomedical science has made tremendous strides in understanding biological systems, advancing human health, and treating disease. 

We build open source software tools and leverage artificial intelligence to accelerate the pace of biomedicine. We fund scientific research worldwide to advance the frontiers of knowledge. And we launched a family of institutes to do research that can’t be done in conventional environments. Each aspect is essential to our approach to building for the long term.

CZI’s work in science includes grantmaking programs, open-source software development, and close collaboration with its partner institutes at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network. The CZ Biohub Network includes the San Francisco, Chicago, and New York Biohubs as well as the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute. CZI also collaborates with institutional partners like the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural & Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University. Join us in accelerating science.

The AI/ML team is funding and building one of the largest computing systems dedicated to nonprofit life science research in the world. This new effort will provide the scientific community with access to predictive models of healthy and diseased cells, which will lead to groundbreaking new discoveries that could help researchers cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of this century.

The Opportunity

As a Staff Research Scientist on the AI/ML team you will develop and apply state-of-the-art methods in artificial intelligence and machine learning to solve important problems in the life sciences aligned with CZI’s mission. Bioimaging and microscopy methods provide measurements of the inner workings of cellular systems. You will work as part of a team to leverage these large-scale multi-modal biological datasets to create models that transform our understanding of cells. 

You will have the opportunity to work closely with teams of scientists, computational biologists, and engineers within CZI and to collaborate with CZI grantees, CZ institutes, and other external labs and organizations. Your work will inspire and enhance the production and analysis of datasets by CZ teams and collaborators. Scientific focus areas could include imaging, proteomics, single-cell biology and beyond. You will be dedicated to Open Science and deeply engaged with the global scientific communities across AI and computational biology.

 

What You'll Do

  • Develop and apply state-of-the-art methods in artificial intelligence and machine learning to solve important problems in biological imaging such as representation learning, multi-object tracking, multimodal data integration or time series modeling.
  • Work with a diverse range of biological data types, including multi-omics data, cell/tissue images, time lapse microscopy, cryo-ET tomography and more. 
  • Implement scalable solutions with respect to complex problems/scientific questions on large-scale data sets, especially using machine learning approaches, predictive models, and statistical analysis, to advance understanding of cell structures, systems, and interactions.
  • Work as part of a team to leverage large open-source biological datasets to create models that transform our understanding of cells.
  • Advance the community standards for dissemination, presentation, and evaluation of computational approaches to core scientific problems.
  • Contribute to the scientific community through publishing papers, blog posts, open source code, and attending conferences in machine learning and the life sciences.

What You'll Bring

  • Have a PhD or Masters in computer science (focus on machine learning and/or computer vision), computational biology, or a related field or equivalent industry experience and at least 5 years of experience developing and applying machine learning methods.
  • Experience in representation learning techniques, including expertise in unsupervised and self-supervised learning methods, dimensionality reduction, and feature extraction and the ability to create meaningful and high-quality data representations from image data that facilitate downstream tasks.
  • Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX) and a solid understanding of neural network architectures for tasks like image recognition, segmentation, and generative modeling.
  • Have a proven track record of research and innovation in machine learning, computer vision or computational biology, demonstrated through publications, conference presentations, or project outcomes with an ability to stay updated with the latest advancements in the field.
  • Enjoy working in a highly interactive and cross-functional collaborative environment with a diverse team of colleagues and partners in leading-edge cell biology data-driven research.
  • Have the ability to work independently and as part of a team, and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Compensation

The Redwood City, CA base pay range for this role is $214,000.00 - $321,000.00. New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. Actual placement in range is based on job-related skills and experience, as evaluated throughout the interview process.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
