Redwood City, California, United States Biohub Full time $190,000 - $261,800

Biohub is leading the new era of AI-powered biology to cure or prevent disease through its 501c3 medical research organization, with the support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

The Team

Biohub supports the science and technology that will make it possible to help scientists 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. 

Achieving our mission will only be possible if scientists are able to better understand human biology. To that end, we have identified four grand challenges that will unlock the mysteries of the cell and how cells interact within systems — paving the way for new discoveries that will change medicine in the decades that follow:

Building an AI-based virtual cell model to predict and understand cellular behaviorDeveloping state-of-the-art imaging systems to observe living cells in actionInstrumenting tissues to better understand inflammation, a key driver of many diseasesEngineering and harnessing the immune system for early detection, prevention, and treatment of diseaseThe Opportunity

At Biohub, we are generating unprecedented scientific datasets that drive biological modeling innovation:

Billions of standardized cells of single-cell transcriptomic data, with a focus on measuring genetic and environmental perturbations10s of thousands of donor-matched DNA & RNA samplesPB-scale static and dynamic imaging datasetsTB-scale mass spectrometry datasetsDiverse, large multi-modal biological datasets that enable biological bridges across measurement types and facilitate multi-modal model training to define how cells act.

After model training, we make all data products available through public resources like CELLxGENE Discover and the CryoET Portal, used by tens of thousands of scientists monthly to advance understanding of genetic variants, disease risk, drug toxicities, and therapeutic discovery.

As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll lead the creation of groundbreaking omics datasets that decode cellular function at the molecular level, describe development, and predict responses to genetic or environmental changes. Working at the intersection of data science, biology, and AI, you'll define data needs, format standards, analysis approaches, quality metrics, and our technical strategy, creating systems to ingest, transform, and validate and deploy data products. 

Success for this role means delivering high-quality, usable datasets that directly address modeling challenges and accelerate scientific progress. Join us in building the data foundation that will transform our understanding of human biology and move us along the path to curing, preventing, and managing all disease.

What You'll Do
Contribute to a robust omics data ecosystem: build single cell data ingestion pipelines, select data formats, standards, and database schemas, and write validation tools, QC approaches, and analysis pipelines.Collaborate with ML engineers, AI Researchers, and Data Engineers to iteratively evaluate, refine and grow datasets to maximize model performance. Discover and define new data generation opportunities, and manage the delivery of those data products to our AI team.Collaborate with engineers, product managers, UX designers, and other data scientists to publish valuable datasets as part of CZI's open data ecosystem.What You'll Bring
5+ years of experience with large scale genomic and/or epigenomic datasets.Demonstrated delivery of large biological data products.Experience with big data: extraction, transport, loading, databases, standardization, validation, QC, and analysis.Experience with processing and orchestration pipelines, such as Argo Workflows, DatabricksStrong fundamentals in statistical reasoning and machine learning.Experience with biological data analysis and QC best practicesExcellent written and verbal communication skills.Enthusiasm to ramp up on technologies and learn new domains.Experience working in a multidisciplinary environment (engineering, product, AI Research).Compensation

The Redwood City, CA base pay range for a new hire in this role is $190,000 - $261,800.  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.
