Senior Machine Learning Scientist, Imaging

THE OPPORTUNITY Imaging based phenotyping of in-vitro biology is at the heart of insitro's efforts to accelerate drug development. At insitro, we use machine learning to derive clinically relevant insights from rich datasets generated in-house. As an Imaging ML Scientist, you will develop ML-empowered computer vision pipelines to extract insights about disease mechanisms from multiple microscopy modalities. You will be part of a cross-functional team of life scientists, software engineers, computational biologists, and machine learning scientists that strive to identify therapeutic targets and develop drugs of high efficacy and low toxicity. You will be joining a vibrant biotech startup that is in a high growth phase, with promising multiple pre-clinical drug targets in areas such as ALS and metabolic disease. A lot can change in this exciting phase, providing many opportunities for significant impact. You will work closely with a very talented team, learn a broad range of skills, and help shape insitro's culture, strategic direction, and outcomes. This role will be reporting to the Director of Imaging, Cellular Machine Learning. This is a hybrid position that requires you to be in our South San Francisco headquarters at least three days per week. Join us, and help make a difference to patients! RESPONSIBILITIES - Partner with experimental and computational biologists to design, troubleshoot, and optimize high-throughput imaging-based experiments and workflows - Identify, understand, develop, and deploy novel computer vision and machine learning methods such as segmentation, feature extraction, and representation learning to extract features from microscopy image datasets - Work closely with software engineers to build robust and well-tested image analysis workflows, able to be used by experimental and computational biologists with minimal direct support - Calibrate analysis tools and workflows, define performance metrics, and conduct benchmarking to select fit-for-
