TL;DR · Senior Scientist, Quantitative Bioimaging

Sr Scientist, Quantitative Bioimaging will join a cross-functional team to advance quantitative bioimaging capabilities in support of immunology discovery research. The role involves developing and applying computer-vision, machine-learning, and deep-learning approaches to characterize cellular and tissue phenotypes within complex models like organoids, co-cultures, and organ-on-chip systems. You will build robust image-analysis workflows, perform feature extraction from high-content imaging datasets, and integrate results with multimodal data including single-cell or spatial information. Key technical requirements include proficiency in the Python data-science ecosystem, specifically NumPy, pandas, Polars, scikit-learn, and PyTorch. Candidates should possess expertise in image segmentation, representation learning, and foundation models while utilizing tools like CellProfiler or ImageJ/Fiji. This position sits at the intersection of biology, bioengineering, microscopy, and computational science to solve complex problems regarding disease-relevant phenotypes and treatment responses.

What you'll do

  • Develop and optimize quantitative image-analysis workflows for 2D and 3D cellular and tissue models.
  • Apply computer vision and machine learning to characterize complex biological phenotypes and disease mechanisms.
  • Extract multiparametric features from high-content imaging datasets to identify candidate biomarkers.
  • Integrate imaging data with multimodal datasets including molecular, single-cell, and spatial information.
  • Establish quality-control frameworks to distinguish biological signals from technical artifacts in image data.
  • Translate complex biological questions into rigorous analysis strategies for immunology discovery programs.
  • Communicate methods, results, and limitations effectively to both technical and nontechnical audiences.

What we're looking for

  • BS, MS, or PhD in engineering, biophysics, computational biology, imaging science, bioinformatics, or a related discipline.
  • Experience for BS holders, 8-10+ for MS holders, or 0-4+ for PhD holders.
  • Experience developing quantitative image-analysis or computational solutions including segmentation, feature extraction, and high-content imaging data analysis.
  • Experience with at least one relevant imaging modality such as confocal microscopy, high-content imaging, or cell painting.
  • Ability to assess image quality, recognize artifacts, and interpret biologically meaningful phenotypes.
  • Working knowledge of machine-learning or deep-learning approaches for biological imaging.
  • Proficiency with the Python data-science ecosystem including NumPy, pandas, Polars, scikit-learn, and/or PyTorch.
  • Experience with complex in vitro models (preferred); experience with CellProfiler or ImageJ (preferred); exposure to foundation models (preferred).
