Principal Technical Program Manager, Science, Imaging
About The Position
Biohub is the first large-scale initiative bringing frontier AI models, massive compute, and frontier experimental capabilities under one roof. We're building a general-purpose system to accelerate scientific discovery, integrating frontier AI models, biological foundation models, and lab capabilities, with the ultimate goal of curing disease. Our technology powers scientists around the world, translating AI capabilities into tools that accelerate research everywhere. Through our multi-dimensional imaging program, we build imaging tools that capture life across scales — from single proteins to whole organisms — revealing how proteins and cells function, communicate, and assemble into living systems. These observations are laying the groundwork for a new generation of AI models that can predict cellular behavior and guide the development of better treatments for widespread diseases. Our work brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. Our Vision: Pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environments Enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideas Facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond We are a team of passionate individuals powered by technology, guided by scientific research, and driven by collaboration, working toward a mission to cure or prevent all disease. Biohub is seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to support the VP of Imaging in leading cross-functional teams to plan, execute, and deliver ambitious imaging science and technology projects. The ideal candidate will combine strong technical knowledge with exceptional project management skills to guide complex initiatives from conception to completion. This is ideal for a TPM who takes pride in disciplined, transparent project execution and brings a builder's mindset to process design. You will not simply run established workflows; you will actively help implement new ones and identify where they break down. You will work closely with imaging scientists, engineers, AI researchers and cross-functional stakeholders in a fast-moving, collaborative environment where your contributions directly shape the team's scientific and technical output.
