About the role
- We are looking for an AI Scientist to join our team at the intersection of machine learning and single-cell biology.
- Apply ML/AI approaches to model cellular responses to perturbations and identify causal biological insights.
- Publish methods and results in top scientific journals and present at conferences.
Responsibilities
- Design, train, and refine foundation models tailored to perturb-seq and other single-cell datasets.
- Build pipelines for preprocessing, normalization, and integration of large-scale single-cell and perturbation data.
- Collaborate with experimental biologists to align computational methods with experimental design and discovery goals.
- Develop multimodal integration approaches across transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic single-cell readouts.
- You will help design scalable ML architectures that can extract insight from high-dimensional perturbation data and integrate across multi-omic modalities.
- Xaira Therapeutics an equal-opportunity employer. We believe that our strength is in our differences. Our goal to build a diverse and inclusive team began on day one, and it will never end.
