Job Description
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is a highly successful nonprofit whose mission is to accelerate cures through stem cell research.
Over the past decade we have built automated infrastructure to perform cell biology at an unprecedented scale allowing us to create some of the largest imagingbased datasets in the world. Using cell models from hundreds to thousands of donors we are aiming to understand disease progression unlock novel cellular phenotypes and work to identify the patients who can benefit most from both existing and new therapeutics.
NYSCF is seeking a Senior Staff/Principal Scientist AI and Data Science to lead a growing team of data scientists and engineers in developing and deploying novel machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) pipelines to extract diseaserelevant phenotypic insights in primary and stem cellderived cell types. You will oversee and perform the analysis of such data and help design and build the infrastructure and tools for the development of multimodal models combining datasets of other modalities including genomics and transcriptomics. You will be vital to our future goals working closely with an interdisciplinary team of biologists automation specialists researchers and engineers.
We are seeking a selfmotivated applicant with an advanced degree in computer sciences life sciences or biomedical engineering and a strong background in machine learning and computer vision.
