Job Description
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg in 2015 to help solve some of societys toughest challenges from eradicating disease and improving education to addressing the needs of our local communities. Our mission is to build a more inclusive just and healthy future for everyone.
The Team
CZI 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 AIbased virtual cell model to predict and understand cellular behavior
- Developing stateoftheart imaging systems to observe living cells in action
- Instrumenting tissues to better understand inflammation a key driver of many diseases
- Engineering and harnessing the immune system for early detection prevention and treatment of disease
The Opportunity
CZI is building a virtual cell model that will learn how cells function at a molecular level and predict how cells and tissues respond to changes to their genes or environment. To achieve this we aim to generate datasets that enable us to track cells journeys throughout development monitor realtime changes in cellular state and identity and measure how cellular machinery responds to environmental changes. To achieve this we will generate very large amounts of volumetric timeresolved microscopy data and ultimately we will publish the data models and related applications for public use.
As the Senior Technical Program Manager you will be responsible for ensuring endtoend delivery of the imaging datasets first to AI researchers and ultimately to the scientific community. You will partner with research scientists engineers and data scientists to design and implement systems to acquire transform store manage and prepare data for model training. You will ensure the system implements requirements from Product Management to make those data useful and accessible for the scientific community. You will ensure data we create are standardized and carry uniform metadataacross imaging modalities but also across other data types we generate. Through these efforts you will create the data foundation for our work in imaging science.
What Youll Do
- Define and defend the technical strategy and roadmap for imaging data acquisition
- Establish systems and processes to ensure agility and responsiveness to emerging data types or modeling needs in the rapidly evolving AI biology space.
- Oversee design and operation of data pipelines and storage solutions to support multiPB image acquisition storage and use
- Organize a team to create high quality standardized imaging datasets and deliver them to AI researchers and the scientific community.
What Youll Bring
- 8 years of experience with biological imaging data including at least 5 years experience working with technologies accumulating multiple PBs of data per year.
- Delivered multiple large data products at least one of which contains a significant component of imaging data.
- Interest and ability to execute and manage a large crossfunctional project with many stakeholders.
- Experience with big data: extraction transport loading databases standardization and data validation.
- Strong fundamentals in algorithms statistical reasoning and/or machine learning.
- Exposure to image analysis and QC best practices.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Enthusiasm to ramp up on technologies and learn new domains.
- Experience working in a scientific multidisciplinary environment (e.g. with research scientists engineers data scientists and/or AI researchers).
Compensation
The Redwood City CA base pay range for this role is. 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 jobrelated skills and experience as evaluated throughout the interview process.
Benefits for the Whole You
Were thankful to have an incredible team behind our work. To honor their commitment we offer a wide range of benefits to support the people who make all we do possible.
- CZI provides a generous employer match on employee 401(k) contributions to support planning for the future.
- Annual benefit for employees that can be used most meaningfully for them and their families such as housing student loan repayment childcare commuter costs or other life needs.
- CZI Life of Service Gifts are awarded to employees to live the mission and support the causes closest to them.
- Paid time off to volunteer at an organization of your choice.
- Funding for select familyforming benefits.
- Relocation support for employees who need assistance moving to the Bay Area
- And more!
If youre interested in a role but your previous experience doesnt perfectly align with each qualification in the job description we still encourage you to apply as you may be the perfect fit for this or another role.
