Job Description:
About You:

You are an expert bioinformatics scientist with a passion for exploring the chemical diversity encoded in organismal genomes and how that diversity can be harnessed for the betterment of human health. You be responsible for building out an innovative computational platform that integrates machine learning, chemical structures, metabolic networks, omics technologies, and high-throughput screening data, to elucidate the natural products space found in major domains of life, including plants, fungi, and microbes.

In particular, you will:

  • Develop and train algorithms across a range of learning objectives, including molecular function prediction, metabolic inference, and phylogenetic profiling, among others.
  • Design and perform computational investigations that lead to natural products discoveries.
  • Design, build, and operate pipelines that perform core computational analyses.
  • Capture, curate, and manage data sets, including creating data analysis tools and databases.
  • Manage and maintain the R&D computational infrastructure, including apps, pipelines, servers, databases, and cloud services.
  • Integrate with the in-house chemistry team to build a seamless team spanning multiple scientific disciplines.
Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Cheminformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Chemistry, Computer Science, or related discipline.
  • Proven expertise applying machine learning-based approaches to biological investigations. Additional experience with one or more of the following a plus:
  • - Statistics

    - Graph theory

    - Molecular biology

    - Systems biology

    - Natural product chemistry - Organic synthesis

    - Next generation sequencing

    - Python and R skills preferred

    - Ideally 2-5+ years of industry experience
