Founding Research Scientist, Biological Foundation Models
CellType, New York, New York
About the job
About CellType
CellType is building foundation models and agent systems for biology.
We train models to reason over cells, tissues, and patients: predicting how a perturbation, a drug, or a disease state changes biology, and how findings in cell lines and animals translate to humans. We work with pharma, biotech, and diagnostics partners on live problems such as preclinical-to-clinical translation, cross-species toxicology, perturbation and response prediction, cell-type deconvolution from clinical assays, and spatial biology.
We are building the core intelligence layer for biology.
About the role
We are hiring a Founding Research Scientist to own the modeling in our biology programs end to end.
This is the role that turns a partner's scientific question into a model task, a dataset, an evaluation, and a result a pharma team will act on. You will work directly with the founders on the projects that define the company over the next year, and you will have a lot of room to decide how we model biology, not just implement someone else's plan.
