Senior Manager, Imaging Machine Learning

THE OPPORTUNITY

insitro's mission is to bring better drugs faster to patients who can benefit most, through machine learning and data at scale. Our discovery strategy integrates insights from multiple phenotypic readouts across diverse high-content data modalities, including data from public and proprietary human cohorts and in vitro cellular systems generated by our proprietary, automated wet-lab platforms.

In this role, you will lead and grow a team of exceptional machine learning researchers responsible for co-developing methods for extracting information from in-vitro biology using computer vision and machine learning. You will lead an established team of 5 machine learning scientists, several at the Staff level, and be expected to grow it over time. Your team will partner closely with laboratory scientists to develop biological assays in a tight loop, iterating sample preparation protocols and feature extraction methods in tandem. As the manager of this team, you will be responsible for structuring these collaborations in ways that ensure the success of all teams, and your individual team members, as measured by our ability to drive insitro's therapeutic programs forward through understanding of causal human biology.

In addition to working closely with the lab, you and your team will partner closely with our imaging software team, responsible for co-developing and scaling methods your team develops, and computational biologists who will subsequently leverage these tools to extract program-level insights in conjunction with omics (perturb-seq) and clinical insights. As the leader of a team of researchers within the AI/ML organization, you will be expected to remain abreast of the evolving field of in-vitro screening. You will report 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!
