Do you aspire to push the boundaries of computation to catalyze scientific breakthroughsImagine 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
Project Manager to lead this effort in the
Yurkovich Lab. The successful candidate will oversee a project focused on developing and applying a computational simulation platform to predict dynamic bacterial behavior. This involves 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 passionate about enabling cuttingedge science and excel at driving innovative computational and experimental projects to redefine our understanding of aging we encourage you to apply.
