Computational Scientist (Contractor) - gRED, Regev Lab
This contract position is located in South San Francisco, on site.
Key Responsibilities
Multimodal perturbation datasets are becoming increasingly large and available, and understanding which data contribute most to model performance is an increasingly important question. The Regev lab has generated a large multimodal perturbation dataset. The contractor will train and evaluate models on this data to characterise how different portions of the dataset contribute to model learning, and will evaluate model performance and model outputs against experimental data.
Contract Highlights
Full time, 40 hours per week, for an initial term of 12-months.
Ownership of a clearly scoped, business-critical workstream with defined deliverables.
Direct collaboration with the project lead and access to an established, documented analysis codebase and cluster compute.
Work with some of the most talented people in the biotechnology industry.
Required Education:
- PhD in a computational discipline, or equivalent research experience
Preferred majors: Computational Biology, Computational Sciences, Statistics or Machine Learning
Required skills:
Training and evaluating deep learning models in PyTorch, including designing and executing controlled train/test split experiments on a SLURM cluster.
Strong applied statistics
Proficient scientific Python (numpy, pandas, scanpy/anndata) and reproducible, documented analysis practice.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with single-cell transcriptomics
Experience with analysis of CRISPR perturbation screens (perturb-seq or similar).
Familiarity with representation learning
Familiarity with image analysis
