<div><p>The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education to addressing the needs of our local communities. Our mission is to build a more inclusive, just, and healthy future for everyone.</p></div><h2><span>The Team</span></h2> <p>CZI and its Biohub Network supports the science and technology that will make it possible to help scientists cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of this century. While this may seem like an audacious goal, in the last 100 years, biomedical science has made tremendous strides in understanding biological systems, advancing human health, and treating disease. </p> <p>Achieving our mission will only be possible if scientists are able to better understand human biology. To that end, we have identified four grand challenges that will unlock the mysteries of the cell and how cells interact within systems — paving the way for new discoveries that will change medicine in the decades that follow:</p> <ul> <li>Building an AI-based virtual cell model to predict and understand cellular behavior</li> <li>Developing novel imaging technologies to map, measure and model complex biological systems  </li> <li>Creating new tools for sensing and directly measuring inflammation within tissues in real time.tissues to better understand inflammation, a key driver of many diseases</li> <li>Harnessing the immune system for early detection, prevention, and treatment of disease</li> </ul> <p>Our work in science is focused on doing fundamental research to better understand human biology and building the tools and technology that move science forward to prevent disease and get to cures faster. Join us in accelerating science.</p> <h2><span>The Opportunity</span></h2> <p>The Project Manager will join the Science Program Management team at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), reporting to the Principal Project Manager for the Imaging Grand Challenge team.  This role will play a critical part in executing our extramural funding programs in support of the Imaging Grand Challenge, which aims to develop groundbreaking imaging technologies to transform how scientists observe, measure and understand living cells and organisms.</p> <p>Under the guidance of the  Principal Project Manager, you will partner closely with the extramural funding team and cross-functional operations teams to manage projects with multiple dependencies, align stakeholders, and deliver clear outcomes.
