Qualification
Required
Must be pursuing a PhD (enrolled student)
Computational Biology, Computer Science, Biology, or related computational field
Deep Learning & Python Proficiency: Strong experience with Python and deep learning frameworks (specifically PyTorch). Familiarity with implementing or fine-tuning Transformer architectures and an understanding of generative models is highly desirable
Computational Biology & Single-Cell Analysis: Experience working with single-cell genomic data formats (e.g., AnnData, MuData). Understanding of chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) and gene expression (RNA-seq) data processing, particularly regarding genomic intervals and cis-regulatory elements
Foundation Model Fluency: Ability to read, digest, and implement concepts from recent literature on genomic foundation models (e.g., Decima, Nona, Enformer, Evo2) to create semantic encodings
Scientific Communication: Ability to synthesize complex multimodal analysis into clear visualizations and communicate findings regarding regulatory heterogeneity to cross-functional teams
Preferred
Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills
Complements our culture and the standards that guide our daily behavior & decisions: Integrity, Courage, and Passion
Generative Modeling: Experience with diffusion models and/or flow matching methods
Permutation-Invariant Architectures: Familiarity with Set Transformers (or related attention-based set models)
Multimodal Modeling: Experience integrating multiple data modalities (e.g., sequence + single-cell readouts; ATAC + RNA) in shared representation spaces
