Allen Institute Join to apply for the
AI Research Scientist III
role at
Allen Institute AI Research Scientist III - Office of the CTO
The
mission
of the
Allen Institute
is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health. Using an open science, multi-scale, team-oriented approach, the
Allen Institute
focuses on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a broad, transformational impact on science.
The mission of the
Office of the Chief Technology Officer
(CTO) is not only to provide state of the art engineering infrastructure to the Allen Institute as a whole, but to also address high-risk, high-reward questions in biology through AI.
We are seeking an independent and motivated
Scientist
in the Office of the CTO to build large AI/ML models for Biology. Reporting to the Senior Director of AI Applications, you will help develop and apply SOTA AI/ML methods for the representation, analysis and interpretation of multimodal data to understand biological systems in health and disease. This role works collaboratively across all Allen Institute teams including Brain Science, Cell Science, Immunology, Neural Dynamics, and the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology (SeaHub). AI/ML focus areas could include multimodal foundation models, diffusion models, causal representation learning, and beyond.
At the Allen Institute, we believe that science is for everyone – and should be open to everyone. We are dedicated to combating biases and reducing barriers to STEM careers more broadly.
We also believe that science is better when it includes different perspectives and voices. We strive to make the Allen Institute a place where everyone feels like they belong and are empowered to do their best work in a supportive environment.
We are an equal-opportunity employer and strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for our open positions.
Essential Functions
Develop and deploy large scale ML models that deepen our understanding of complex biological systems in health and disease by incorporating diverse biological datatypes, such as multi-omics data, microscopy data, in vivo and behavioral imaging data, electrophysiological data, and/or clinical data. Using ML methods to tokenize and embed biological data for ML models and subsequently analyze ML embeddings for benchmarking and other biological tasks Help to establish community standards for scalability in developing, disseminating, and evaluating AI/ML/computational methods for scientific problems across the model lifecycle by testing and documenting best practices and sharing with the community Collaborate with teams of scientists, computational biologists, and software engineers within the Allen Institute and external partners to help drive large scale AI/ML models, from best code practices to scientific impact Collaborate with software engineers to build state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure at the Allen Institute to support large scale AI/ML research and applications, such as methods for caching and processing petabyte scale data across multiple networked GPU nodes on cloud, this person will build a research grade large scale ML infrastructure that will be hardened by SWE Participate in institute-wide initiatives, workshops, and seminars to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing Support the promotion of open science through publishing papers and open-source code
Note: Reasonable accomodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. This description reflects management’s assignment of essential functions; it does not proscribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned.
Required Education And Experience
PhD in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computational Biology, Statistics, Biostatistics or similar field; or equivalent combination of degree and experience Demonstrated ability to design, implement and apply AI/ML models for the analysis of large-scale biological data
Preferred Education And Experience
3 - 7 years of experience developing and applying ML methods Strong publication record of innovative scientific accomplishments (both individual and team) Expertise in Python-based ML libraries and frameworks such as PyTorch, Jax, Pyro, NumPy, and Pandas. Solid understanding of statistical analysis, data preprocessing, feature selection, and model evaluation techniques Experience building data pipelines to make biological data ML-ready, pipeline for model training and evaluation. Knowledge of data preprocessing, normalization, and integration techniques specific to biological and clinical datasets Experience with data visualization and presentation of complex biological findings to both technical and non-technical audiences Strong problem-solving skills and ability to develop innovative computational approaches to address complex biological questions
Physical Demands
Fine motor movements in fingers/hands to operate computers and other office equipment
Position Type/Expected Hours of Work
This role is currently able to work both remotely and onsite in a hybrid work environment. We are a Washington State employer, and the primary work location for all Allen Institute employees is 615 Westlake Ave N.; any remote work must be performed in Washington State.
