Job Description:
The Bioinformatics team is a high impact group within Hampton Creek that’s building the next generation of computational models to understand the relationships between environmentally sustainable food sources and their functionality. You will be a key member of our core R&D team and essential to the scientific growth of our company. You will be responsible for developing and applying computational techniques to augment a library of algorithms designed to discover novel functionalities related to food systems. You’ll partner with data engineering experts to continue building out our computational infrastructure, and join a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and chefs in the search for better, healthier, and more sustainable ways to produce food. RESPONSIBILITIES -Lead the analyses and interpretation of scientific data generated by a unique technology platform that fuses the molecular, materials, and food sciences. -Map the landscape of phylogenetic, chemical, and physical features of novel materials derived from a proprietary plant library. -Translate scientific questions into testable hypotheses, drawing conclusions from data, and guiding next-step experiments through a sparsely traveled search space. -Collaborate on the design and development of a highly customized data processing and visualization infrastructure. -Provide statistical support for the design, interoperation, and assessment of basic and applied experiments. ATTRIBUTES: -PhD in Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, or related subject. -Background in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, materials science, or food science strongly preferred. -Proven experience developing and applying computational methods to diverse types of data. -Deep understanding of theories behind computational methods. Deep theoretical knowledge should be balanced by strong implementation experience. -Enthusiastic about exploring novel data sets, bringing structure and rigorous thinking to ambiguous phenomena, and extracting maximum information and knowledge from them. -Loves the challenge of tackling real-world problems and translating them into sets of refined, answerable questions. -Passionate about the problem domain and understands the role that data and algorithms play as utility tools. -Comfortable coding in Python, or R, or other scientific programing languages and libraries (like Julia, Lua, Octave, C++/GSL, etc). -Mission-driven, team player, thinker.

just /jest/ - adjective guided by truth, reason, justice, and fairness We started Hampton Creek because we believe that eating well should be easy. The right thing, for our bodies and for the planet, should be affordable. And it should be incredibly delicious. That's the only way that change will happen: by working with everyone from farmers, chefs, and food scientists to single moms, schools and politicians to fix our broken food system. And that's exactly what we have done with all of our products including our dressings, mayo, cookies and cookie dough. You can find us nationwide everywhere from Safeway, Target, Whole Foods, Walmart, Kroger, to many more. Our products are also served at schools, universities, hospitals, and corporate offices across the country. We're a technology company pioneering in food. With investment from 12 billionaires, our mission is to bring healthier, more affordable food to everyone, everywhere. To achieve this we have developed a technology platform that enables us to search for better, healthier, and more sustainable ways to make food. Our movement represents a unique opportunity to work with a hard-driving cross-functional team of scientists, research chefs, business analysts, and engineers.
