Together, we push boundaries, embrace complexity, and create solutions to scale ideas for lab to society. Explore more at www.eit.org

Requirements

We’re looking for a Computational Biologist to work at the interface of microbiology and AI. The role requires being a subject matter expert within a team of AI researchers and engineers and the hands-on ability to work on projects including transforming complex biological sources into robust, high-quality data sets, building bioinformatics solutions, and designing evaluations for foundation models.

This role requires deep expertise in microbiology and bioinformatics methods, strong scientific judgement, and the ability to critically assess and improve how biological data is used in computational systems. You will work closely with AI Scientists and Engineers to ensure models are biologically sound and capture the most important signals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Structure, curate, and transform large-scale microbiology data for use in machine learning systems
  • Define biologically grounded tasks, representations, and evaluation frameworks aligned with real biological signal
  • Interrogate datasets, methods, and model outputs to identify bias, leakage, and invalid assumptions
  • Apply, adapt, and critically assess state-of-the-art bioinformatics methods in real-world settings
  • Build robust, reproducible Python workflows and collaborate closely with research and engineering teams

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Experience

  • Extensive experience in genomics and computational biology, with strong understanding of methods such as genome assembly, alignment, and variant analysis
  • Experience working with large-scale genomics datasets including data preparation and modelling
  • Proven track record of solving complex computational biology problems, translating them into computational and statistical methods and delivering working implementations.
  • High proficiency in Python for data processing and modelling

Desirable Knowledge, Skills, and Experience (in rough order of desirability)

  • Background in software engineering
  • Experience with microbiology and prokaryotic biology
  • Experience with long- and short-read sequencing technologies
  • Experience with foundation models or representation learning applied to biological data

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
