Who we are:
Calico (Calico Life Sciences LLC) is an Alphabet-founded research and development company whose mission is to harness advanced technologies and model systems to increase our understanding of the biology that controls human aging. Calico will use that knowledge to devise interventions that enable people to lead longer and healthier lives. Calico’s highly innovative technology labs, its commitment to curiosity-driven discovery science and, with academic and industry partners, its vibrant drug-development pipeline, together create an inspiring and exciting place to catalyze and enable medical breakthroughs.
Position description:
Calico is seeking a Senior/Principal Data Scientist to join our efforts in advancing novel therapies from target discovery to clinical development. The ideal candidate, working collaboratively with the translational and development teams, will apply their deep technical knowledge in machine learning, probabilistic modeling and methods for analyzing single-cell -omics data to understand the basic biology of aging and drive drug development decisions. You will lead efforts to develop novel methods for analyzing single-cell data (e.g., scRNAseq, scATACseq, CITEseq) and to combine them with other data modalities such as in-situ multiplexed imaging (e.g., MIBI-ToF, CODEX) and physiological sensor data across a variety of both in-vivo and in-vitro models. These methods will be used to design experiments and identify therapeutic targets. The candidate will also be responsible for the analysis and interpretation of data in support of Calico’s translational activities. This may include analysis of NGS, imaging and proteomics datasets, mining publicly available data sources and designing data-driven follow-up experiments. This role requires the ability to communicate computational results and outcomes to scientists in both quantitative and non-quantitative disciplines, as well as to external collaborators at AbbVie, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and others.
As a member of the Calico’s Computing team, you will work closely with a cross-functional group of computational biologists, machine learning engineers, data scientists, translational project leads, scientists, and biostatisticians to advance Calico’s pipeline. This role offers a unique opportunity to innovate at the leading edge of data science and quantitative systems pharmacology.
