<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 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 state-of-the-art imaging systems to observe living cells in action</li> <li>Instrumenting tissues to better understand inflammation, a key driver of many diseases</li> <li>Engineering and harnessing the immune system for early detection, prevention, and treatment of disease</li> </ul> <p>CZI’s <a href="http://www.chanzuckerberg.com/science">work in science</a> includes grantmaking programs, open-source software development, and close collaboration with the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network. The CZ Biohub Network includes the San Francisco, Chicago, and New York Biohubs as well as the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute. CZI also collaborates with institutional partners like the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural &amp; Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University. Join us in accelerating science.</p> <p>As a Senior Data Scientist, youll lead the creation of groundbreaking datasets that power our AI/ML efforts within and across our scientific grand challenges. Working at the intersection of data science, biology, and AI, your work will focus on creating large, AI-ready datasets, spanning single-cell sequencing, immune receptor profiling, and mass spectrometry peptidomics data. You will define data needs, format standards, analysis approaches and quality metrics and build pipelines to ingest, transform, and validate data products that form the foundation of our experiments.</p> <p><strong>Our Data Ecosystem:</strong></p> <p>These efforts will form a part of, and interoperate with CZIs larger data ecosystem. We are generating unprecedented scientific datasets that drive biological innovation:</p> <ul> <li>Billions of standardized cells of single-cell transcriptomic data, with a focus on  measuring genetic and environmental perturbations</li> <li>10s of thousands of donor-matched DNA &amp; RNA samples</li> <li>10s PBs-scale static and dynamic imaging datasets</li> <li>100s TBs-scale mass spectrometry datasets</li> <li>Diverse, large multi-modal biological datasets that enable biological bridges across measurement types and facilitate multi-modal model training to define how cells act.</li> </ul> <p>When analysis of a dataset is complete, you will help publish it through public resources like CELLxGENE Discover, the CryoET Portal, and the Virtual Cell Platform, used by tens of thousands of scientists monthly to advance understanding of genetic variants, disease risk, drug toxicities, and therapeutic discovery.</p> <p><strong>Your Impact</strong></p> <p>Youll collaborate with cross-functional teams to lead dataset definition, ingestion, transformation, and delivery for AI modeling and experimental analysis. Success means delivering high-quality, usable datasets that directly address modeling challenges and accelerate scientific progress. Join us in building the data foundation that will transform our understanding of human biology and move us along the path to curing, preventing, and managing all disease.</p> <h2><span>What Youll Do</span></h2> <ul> <li>Contribute the tools required for a robust data ecosystem: build single cell data ingestion pipelines, select data formats, standards, and database schemas, and write validation tools, QC approaches, and analysis pipelines.</li> <li>Collaborate with Platform Scientists, ML engineers, AI Researchers, and Data Engineers to iteratively evaluate, refine and grow datasets to improve our biological understanding of inflammation. </li> <li>Work closely with Platform Scientists to identify technical variables and devise  approaches to harmonize data across generation sites to enable joint analysis.</li> <li>Discover and define new data generation opportunities, and manage the delivery of those data products to our scientific teams.</li> </ul> <h2><span>What Youll Bring</span></h2> <ul> <li>10+ years of experience with large scale high throughput biological  data (single cell sequencing, immune receptor profiling, mass spectrometry).</li> <li>Demonstrated ability to deliver multiple large biological data products.</li> <li>Experience with big data: extraction, transport, loading, databases, standardization, validation, QC, and analysis.</li> <li>Experience with processing and orchestration pipelines, such as <a href="https://argoproj.github.io/workflows/">Argo Workflows</a>, <a href="https://www.databricks.com/?itm_data=dwh-glossary">Databricks</a></li> <li>Strong fundamentals in statistical reasoning and machine learning.</li> <li>Experience with biological data analysis and QC best practices</li> <li>Excellent written and verbal communication skills.</li> <li>Enthusiasm to ramp up on technologies and learn new domains.</li> <li>Experience working in a multidisciplinary environment (scientific platforms, engineering, product, AI Research).</li> </ul> <h2><span>Compensation</span></h2> <p>The Redwood City, CA base pay range for this role is $190,000 - $261,800. New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. Actual placement in range is based on job-related skills and experience, as evaluated throughout the interview process. </p> <h2><span>Work Mode</span></h2> <p>As we grow, we’re excited to strengthen in-person connections and cultivate a collaborative, team-oriented environment. This role is a hybrid position requiring you to be onsite for at least 60% of the working month, approximately 3 days a week, with specific in-office days determined by the team’s manager. The exact schedule will be at the hiring managers discretion and communicated during the interview process.</p> <h2><span><span><strong>Benefits for the Whole You</strong></span> </span></h2> <p>We’re thankful to have an incredible team behind our work.
