Job Description:
Seeking a motivated Computational Biologist to join a growing team in the Boston area, focused in developing new organisms that replace technology with biology. Specifically, we are looking for individuals that are passionate about developing novel methods to ensure our engineered strains perform at peak capabilities. As a member of the Computational Biology/Bioinformatics team you will work closely with cross- disciplinary teams that include machine learning experts, software developers, and scientists to understand the analytical needs of our scientists working in our ground-breaking bio-manufacturing labs. You will be able to use and further develop our repository of powerful and scalable analytical tools that can help derive unique insights from data produced by our scientists and from publicly available sources. Relevant data is derived from metabolic and evolutionary engineering, quantitative trait locus mapping, and metagenomics studies. It spans multiple host organisms and includes genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, different data modalities (from phenotypes to metabolic models), and time scales (from single time points to continuous time series). If you are interested in being part of the next technological revolution, we want to hear from you! Primary Job Responsibilities:
