Job Details

The Opportunity
The heart of insitro’s strategy is the development of novel, cutting edge methods in machine learning and high-throughput biology to address key bottlenecks in the drug development pipeline. In alignment with this strategy, the disease modeling group is building up a large repertoire of scaleable cellular models for multiple disease indications.  As a Scientist and scientific leader in the High Throughput Biology group, you will help to establish and execute robust, high throughput genomic modifier screens to support insitro’s target discovery and validation efforts. You will collaborate with machine-learning scientists to develop target discovery and validation methodologies across multiple disease indications. We are looking for motivated and talented candidates who are interested in being part of a unique, cross-disciplinary team of biologists, bioengineers, machine learners and data scientists who want to make a difference.

You will be joining as the founding team of a biotech startup that has long-term stability due to significant funding yet providing many opportunities for significant impact. You will work closely with a very talented team, learn a broad range of skills, and help shape insitro’s culture, strategic direction, and outcomes. Join us and help make a difference to patients!
