    Scientist II - Seattle, United States - Allen Institute

    Default job background
    Description
    Scientist II - Statistical ML/AI algorithms for Multimodal Disease Trajectories

    The mission of the Allen Institute is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health, accelerating the understanding of how the human brain works in health and disease. 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 Allen Institute for Brain Science is to accelerate the understanding of how the human brain works in health and disease. Using a big science approach, we generate useful public resources, drive technological and analytical advances, and discover fundamental brain properties through the integration of experiments, modeling, and theory. We have recently begun a major consortium program to understand the cellular and molecular basis of Alzheimer's disease using cutting-edge single-cell methods established at the Allen Institute and through the NIH BRAIN Initiative. We are mapping Alzheimer's disease progression by generating unique, large-scale (millions of cells) single nucleus transcriptional, chromatin accessibility, and spatial information, together with detailed neuropathological and cognitive information.

    We seek to fill a Scientist-level position to design modern machine learning methods to integrate multimodal data and describe omics trajectories to contribute to the mechanistic understanding of Alzheimer's disease pathology. The successful candidate will have a strong background in computational biology, and experience developing deep generative models and Bayesian algorithms. Strong preference will be given to individuals with a track record of both individual and team contributions in solving complex research problems, and experience in cutting-edge computational methodologies applied to biological -omics, spatial, and/or clinical metadata.

    This position will work with interdisciplinary teams consisting of quantitative and experimental scientists on high-priority modeling and analysis problems that include (i) statistical descriptions of regulators of cell identity and disease progression, (ii) deep generative modeling-based analysis of multi-modal datasets, and (iii) causal models of disease progression.

    The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices, experiences, and backgrounds. High-quality science can only be produced when it includes different perspectives. We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role.

    Essential Functions
    • Develop deep generative models characterizing regulators of cell identity
    • Develop Bayesian statistical models of neurodegenerative progression
    • Develop novel Bayesian inference algorithms for multi-modal data

    Note: Reasonable accommodations 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 statistics, computer science, neuroscience, mathematics, engineering, or related field; or an equivalent combination of degree and experience
