TL;DR · Computational Pathology Scientist

JOB TITLE: Computational Pathology Scientist The Computational Pathology Scientist joins the Research Pathobiology group to support drug discovery and development through advanced image analysis. This role involves applying AI, machine learning, and computer vision to digital pathology data to advance the understanding of pathobiology in oncology, virology, fibrosis, and inflammation. Key responsibilities include extracting histopathological endpoints, performing spatial analysis of tissue-based imaging data, and customizing high-throughput workflows. The successful candidate will utilize Python, MATLAB, PyTorch, Pandas, scikit-learn, NumPy, OpenSlide, OpenCV, MONAI, and Elastix. They will also work with commercial platforms like Visiopharm to analyze H&E, IHC, CISH, mIF, CODEX, and spatial transcriptomics. The position requires translating scientific questions into actionable analytic plans while managing projects from planning through delivery to support imaging biomarker work across discovery and clinical pipelines.

What you'll do

  • Apply AI, machine learning, and computer vision to digital pathology data to support drug discovery and development.
  • Execute image analysis workflows to extract histopathological endpoints and perform spatial analysis of tissue-based imaging data.
  • Develop and validate computational pathology approaches for imaging biomarkers across discovery and clinical pipelines.
  • Curate and prepare large imaging datasets for project analyses and deep learning model training.
  • Lead projects from planning through execution, including quality control, documentation, and delivery of organized outputs.
  • Translate scientific questions into actionable analytic plans and communicate findings to both expert and non-expert stakeholders.
  • Improve data management and workflow scalability to increase the reliability of project-facing computational analyses.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree and Six Years' Experience OR Masters' Degree and Four Years' Experience.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and/or MATLAB applied to image processing and computer vision.
  • Proficiency with deep learning, data science, and image processing libraries such as PyTorch, Pandas, scikit-learn, NumPy, OpenSlide, OpenCV, MONAI, or Elastix.
  • Experience applying deep learning models to imaging data, including CNNs, segmentation and classification architectures, and transformer-based models.
  • Experience managing computational projects from planning through delivery.
  • Experience analyzing whole-slide images and large pathology imaging datasets from internal, public, or commercial sources.
  • Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline (Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field) (preferred).
  • Publication record in deep learning, machine learning, or statistics, particularly in digital pathology (preferred).
