E11 Bio is a Focused Research Organization (FRO) aiming to make connectomics scalable and cost-effective in mammalian brains, starting with mice and eventually humans.
The company has developed PRISM, a platform technology for low-cost optical connectomics that integrates genetic cell barcoding, multiplexed expansion microscopy, and machine learning reconstruction.
The goal of PRISM is to reduce the cost of connectomics by 100-fold, transforming brain understanding, treatments for brain disorders, and neuro-inspired computing.
The ML Scientist will develop innovative and scalable methods for optical barcode connectomics.
This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a significant non-profit neuroscience project and to help pioneer the FRO model, which combines non-profit team science with start-up culture.
The position is suited for individuals who value important work in a collaborative and autonomous environment.
Requirements:
A PhD in computer science, machine learning, applied math, computational biology, or a related field, or a PhD-equivalent publication history is required.
Candidates should have 3-5 years of relevant work or research experience, demonstrating a strong history of independent execution on challenging machine learning problems.
A strong background in computer vision and experience applying machine learning tools to analyze large light microscopy data is essential.
Familiarity with software engineering best practices, including version control and code reviews, is required.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, along with strong record-keeping abilities and attention to detail, are necessary.
Benefits:
The total compensation range for this position is $180,900 to $201,000, which includes a base salary of $150,750 to $167,500, plus up to a 20% performance-based bonus.
This position is structured for fully remote work, with in-office visits for quarterly planning and ad-hoc hackathons.
Employees receive excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan, as well as parental leave.
A 401(k) plan with employer matching is offered.
Generous time off and paid holidays are provided.
A wellness allowance for fitness and wellness activities is included.
