About the job

Develop computational methods that turn nanopore and electrophysiology measurements into interpretable biological insights and sequencing outputs.

What you'll do

  • Analyze nanopore and electrophysiology data to identify meaningful signal features and develop workflows for event detection, classification, and molecular fingerprinting.
  • Build quantitative models connecting measurements to molecular identity, structure, and function; establish benchmarking, validation, and uncertainty-quantification practices.
  • Collaborate with experimental scientists and cross-functional teams to interpret results and improve platform performance.

What they ask for

  • Master's degree plus 3+ years of relevant industry experience, or a PhD in a listed or related quantitative discipline.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and scientific computing environments.
  • Experience analyzing complex biological, physical, or time-series datasets, including noisy or variable data.
  • Background in at least two of statistics, machine learning, signal processing, or Bayesian modeling; ability to work across experimental and computational domains and communicate clearly.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with nanopore technologies, electrophysiology, or single-molecule measurement platforms.
  • Experience applying deep learning or probabilistic modeling to biological or physical datasets; computational biophysics or high-dimensional biological time-series analysis.
