About the role

  • We're closing the gap between biological data and biological understanding.
  • Read more about our work through our publications.
  • We are seeking a Platform Fellow to join our Platform team for a 3-month fellowship.

Responsibilities

  • We try to develop novel approaches for every aspect of our science, and everyone on our team is expected to innovate in their domain.

Requirements

  • The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, moves quickly, and communicates clearly through writing.
  • What We Look For The first thing we look for is technical talent at the leading edge of a field.
  • To us, this means independent and generative scientists doing basic research that has the potential to produce evidence challenging standard practices.

Skills

  • Probabilistic modeling and statistical inference
  • Supervised and unsupervised learning for high-dimensional biological data
  • Interpretability methods development for ML models
  • Phylogenetic inference and evolutionary modeling
  • Comparative and evolutionary genomics across species
  • Quantitative and population genetics, including human genetics
  • Analysis of natural selection, adaptation, and trait evolution
  • Statistical and machine learning approaches to quantitative genetics

Benefits

  • Our team is flexible and often needs to pivot to match the pace of development at the cutting edge of multiple fields.

Company info

  • For this role in particular, we are looking for scientists who want to apply quantitative methods to biological questions across the tree of life.
  • Writing independently is crucial since we share everything we think is valuable to the community and will help us move our research forward.
