Top 3 – 5 Skills Needed:

1. Implementing, training AI/ML models

2. Data pre-processing for **AI compatibility**

3. Domain knowledge of bioinformatics

4. Experience working with **single cell and spatial data** (transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics etc.)

5. Ability to communicate results clearly

Job Description:

The successful candidate will work closely with stakeholders across the IPSI (Immune Profiling & Systems Immunology in Immunology Discovery) organization to advance the Single-Cell **Fibroblast Atlas initiative.** The role will focus on applying AI/ML and advanced computational methods to large-scale **single-cell transcriptomic, proteomics and spatial** etc. datasets to define fibroblast states, map tissue-specific niches, and uncover their roles in health and disease.

Key Responsibilities

• Curate, harmonize, and analyze large-scale single-cell and spatial omics datasets (internal and public) with emphasis on fibroblast biology.

• Develop and optimize **predictive AI/ML models** to classify fibroblast states, identify regulatory networks, and generate disease-relevant insights.

• Integrate multi-modal data ( **scRNA-seq, spatial** etc.) to construct a comprehensive fibroblast atlas.

• Collaborate with other stakeholders.

Impact By building the Fibroblast Atlas, the candidate will enable **target discovery** while driving cross-functional projects at the interface of data science, immunology, and translational medicine impacting the portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Support senior analysts and scientists in implementing, training, and troubleshooting AI/ML models tailored to single-cell and spatial omics data.

• Ingest, clean, and preprocess large-scale single-cell transcriptomic and spatial datasets (public and internal) for single-cell atlas workflows.

• Collaborate with immunology and computational teams to translate biological questions on fibroblast states, niches, and disease roles into computational solutions.

• Document data curation, processing, and modeling pipelines to ensure reproducibility and transparency across the atlas project.

• Assist in interpreting model outputs to generate insights into fibroblast heterogeneity, tissue-specific function.

• Contribute to time-sensitive projects with critical deliverables, supporting target discovery and prioritization within the fibroblast atlas framework.

Qualifications:

• MS degree (5+ years of experience) or PhD (0+ years of experience) in a **quantitative field** (Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Computational Genetics, Biostatistics, AI/Machine Learning, or related discipline).

• Proficiency in Python and standard **ML/data science libraries.**

• Experience working on **HPC or cloud environments** for large-scale omics and **imaging datasets.**

• Domain knowledge in single-cell analysis, spatial omics, or systems immunology, ideally with exposure to fibroblast or stromal cell biology.

• Strong attention to detail, documentation, and communication skills.

• Ability to independently design, execute, and troubleshoot computational workflows.

Preferred Technical Skills:

• Experience with **NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib, and Seaborn.**

• Familiarity with **deep learning f** rameworks **(TensorFlow and/or PyTorch).**

• Proficiency with Git for version control and collaboration.

• Hands-on experience with **single-cell data analysis** tools (e.g., **Scanpy, Seurat, Bioconductor,** or equivalent).

• Exposure to **multi-modal integration** methods (e.g., **CITE-seq, ATAC-seq** , proteomics, **imaging mass cytometry, spatial transcriptomics** ).

Additional Technical Skills (a plus):

• Experience with **OpenCV, Scikit-image** , or **computer vision models for imaging datasets.**

• Knowledge of cell type annotation, clustering, and trajectory inference methods.

• Experience building multi-modal **AI/ML models** that link **transcriptomic,** proteomic, and **imaging data.**
