About the role

What if you could join a rapidly growing company and play a critical role in bringing new medicines to patients through looking at and treating disease in a revolutionary way. Are you a highly motivated and detail-oriented computational biologist passionate about understanding complex biological systems and disease through single-cell omics and large-scale patient datasets ? This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development and application of Cellarity's platform for drug discovery. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Extensive experience in analyzing and deriving hypotheses from single-cell and bulk transcriptomic data, preferably also with large-scale single-cell atlases
  • Demonstrated understanding of molecular and systems biology, diverse molecular data types, and analysis tools. Proven ability to bridge wet lab and computational efforts and collaborate effectively across functions
  • Practical programming and scripting skills, preferably in Python
  • Fluency with AI tools to accelerate daily scientific work (incl. coding assistants, LLMs, and agentic workflows), while maintaining high scientific rigor over the outputs
  • Fast learner, analytical thinker, independent, "hands-on", strong communication skills

Are you a highly motivated and detail-oriented computational biologist passionate about understanding complex biological systems and disease through single-cell omics and large-scale patient datasets ? This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development and application of Cellarity's platform for drug discovery.

You will be part of a small and dynamic computational team focused on generating high-impact insights. As the computational biology lead embedded in our cross-functional drug discovery programs, you will collaborate closely with world-class computational biologists, machine learning scientists, experimental biologists, chemists, clinicians , and technologists to co-develop hypotheses from cell atlases and advance programs from biological model development through hit identification and lead optimization. Specifically, you will identify disease-associated states in cell atlases, guide development of the in vitro and in vivo systems that model them, use our single-cell AI models to...
