Job Description

Amber Bio is a biotechnology company pioneering new gene editing modalities using multi-kilobase edits to reach previously undruggable patient populations. Founded by pioneers in the CRISPR field from leading institutions for gene editing research, the company is developing a first-of-its-kind RNA writing platform that can correct thousands of bases at once, thereby correcting genetic mutations safely and reversibly. Multiple openings are available on a rapidly growing team. As an early team member, you will have the opportunity to contribute to strategic planning and future hiring. If you are interested in building a new frontier in genetic medicine, please apply through LinkedIn.

If you are a skilled Computational Biologist or ML Scientist with a passion for applying machine learning approaches to (one of: model/design/engineer) biological sequences, we encourage you to apply and join our innovative team.

Job Description: Computational Biologist / ML Scientist (Bioarchitect)

Responsibilities include:

  • Implement state of the art methods to predict RNA and protein function from sequence.
  • Analyze and preprocess experimental data, including DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, high throughput screening data and structural data for model training and validation.
  • Plan and execute machine learning experiments, and set milestones and timelines to achieve research objectives.
  • Collaborate with wet lab scientists to align ML experiments and integrate model insights into the design process
  • Fine-tune models using custom datasets and external resources to achieve high predictive performance.
  • Collaborate with gene editing and molecular biology experts to integrate model insights into the design process.
  • Stay updated with the latest advancements in machine learning techniques, RNA/protein structure prediction, and gene editing technologies.
  • Publish results in relevant conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
