The Opportunity
The Computational Microscopy Platform (www.czbiohub.org/comp-micro/) led by Shalin Mehta builds imaging technologies to analyze the dynamics of cells across biological scales ranging from organelles to zebrafish larvae. We develop computational imaging methods to visualize physical and molecular properties of live cells and zebrafish with increased accuracy, resolution, and throughput. We develop deep learning methods to analyze dynamic cell states from the high-dimensional image data. We collaborate with groups within the CZ Biohub Network and with university collaborators to discover biological mechanisms and pursue therapeutic opportunities using these technology platforms.
We are looking for a passionate Associate R&D Engineer to accelerate our work on high-throughput smart microscopy of live cells and organs in zebrafish. This role will focus on refining and using our live imaging systems, e.g., Mantis (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.19.572435v1), and python automation software, e.g., shrimPy (https://github.com/czbiohub-sf/shrimPy) and coPylot (https://github.com/czbiohub-sf/copylot) for image-based profiling of cellular response to infection and developmental cues. The individual needs to be comfortable working in the Biosafety level 2 laboratory after appropriate safety and work training.
