8d • Onsite

About The Position

This is an AI-driven bioengineering project requiring both wetlab and computational skillset. The successful candidate will have proficiency with basic molecular biology techniques including DNA cloning and subcloning, bacterial work, mammalian cell culture (293T, HeLa, etc), protein work (Western blot), immunohistochemistry and various forms of microscopic techniques (high content imaging, confocal, etc). It is critical the candidate has computational proficiency and be comfortable working with computer algorithms, including ImageJ macros for image processing, Python programming as well as machine learning using tools such as Large Language Models. Experiences and evidence of work showing rigors in model training is critical.

Requirements
