Job Description
Location:onsite Buck campus Novato CA
Compensation: $110000 $165000 DOE
Appointment: 18month position (potential to extend)
Citizenship Requirement: U.S. citizens only
Do you aspire to push the boundaries of computation to catalyze scientific breakthroughs
Imagine predicting microbial behavior with the same precision used to design circuits. At the Buck Institute were building a cuttingedge platform to simulate dynamic bacterial function by combining multidimensional microbial data mechanistic knowledge and AI. This project will revolutionize biomanufacturing and antimicrobial discovery transforming them into predictive designable processes. The implications range from optimizing industrial production to deepening our understanding of biological systems that shape human aging.
We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist to join the Yurkovich Lab. The successful candidate will contribute to a project focused on developing and applying a computational simulation platform to predict dynamic bacterial behavior integrating multidimensional microbial state data with mechanistic biological knowledge and AI. This position offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to efforts at the forefront of transforming our understanding of aging by accurately predicting phenotypic function.
If youre ready to drive scientific discovery at the intersection of cuttingedge computation and transformative experimentation to redefine our understanding of aging we encourage you to apply.
Responsibilities
Computational Leadership
Our success will ultimately change healthcare. At the Buck we aim to end the threat of agerelated diseases for this and future generations by bringing together the most capable and passionate scientists from a broad range of disciplines to identify and impede the ways in which we age. Globally recognized as the pioneer and leader in efforts to target agingthe number one risk factor for diseases including Alzheimers Parkinsons cancer macular degeneration heart disease and diabetesthe Buck seeks to help people live better longer. We are an equal opportunity employer.
