Qualifications:

• Education: Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Data Science, Epidemiology, or a related field (0–2 years post-graduate experience); or MS with 2–4 years of experience; or BS with 4+ years of relevant experience.
• Data Experience: Minimum 2 years of experience working with large-scale biological or population datasets, preferably including experience analyzing immune system aging/function within the context of human and/or mouse data.
• Coding Proficiency: Strong proficiency in Python or R.
• Technical Knowledge: Solid understanding of statistical analysis and foundational machine learning techniques.
• Genomics Foundation: Hands-on experience with NGS data analysis (e.g., RNA-seq, DNA methylation, ChIP-seq, or ATAC-seq).
• Multi-omics Interest: Experience with, or a strong desire to learn, proteomic data analysis and multi-omic data integration.
• Operational Skills: Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
• Communication: Ability to clearly present data and technical workflows to a multidisciplinary team.

Desired Skills and Attributes:

• Prior experience or familiarity with biomarkers of immune system aging/function.
• Prior experience or internship in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.
• Prior experience running large-scale association testing (e.g., genome-wide association studies [GWAS], epigenome-wide association studies [EWAS], proteome-wide association studies).
• Familiarity with methods in statistical genetics (e.g., Mendelian randomization, fine mapping, colocalization).
• Familiarity with machine learning analysis architectures (e.g., random forest, gradient boosting, transformers).
• Familiarity with public biological databases (e.g., GTEx, TCGA), epidemiological cohort data (e.g., TOPMed cohorts), or biobanks (e.g., UK Biobank, FinnGen).
• Ability to apply integrated generative protein design pipelines - from target-conditioned backbone generation through sequence design to computational fold validation - to support the development of novel therapeutic biologics with optimized specificity and developability properties.
• Working knowledge of computational histology pipelines incorporating modern deep learning approaches - including self-supervised and weakly supervised learning (MIL, DINO) and histopathology foundation models (e.g. UNI, CONCH) - to enable scalable, label-efficient classification of complex tissue phenotypes.
• Familiarity or prior experience with agentic AI in the context of analysis code pipeline development and biological analysis.
• Evidence of scientific contribution through publications, posters, or GitHub repositories.
