Join and accelerate the bioeconomy

TL;DR: looking for mission-aligned people to join my research lab.

I am starting a research group in Toronto, focused on applications of machine learning to longevity research. The main goal of the group is development of ML-based pipelines utilizing generative models and active learning for efficient exploration of chemical space, and applications to the discovery of anti-aging interventions. To begin with, we will be focusing on cellular senescence and discovery of novel cryoprotectants.

I have a machine learning background myself, but the lab will have strong interdisciplinary focus, and will be a joint appointment between The Hospital for Sick Children (biggest research hospital in Canada), CS Department of University of Toronto, and Vector Institute (leading AI institute). We have very strong collaborators with expertise in cellular senescence and chemistry at SickKids and UofT, as well as ML, in particular at Mila (where I just finished my postdoc supervised by Yoshua Bengio). We also have strong industrial ties (ongoing collaboration with Genentech, exploring the possibility of spinning off one of our current projects).

I am currently looking for 1-2 ML postdocs and molecular biology lab technician (links below). In addition, we are looking for a chemistry postdoc (mostly focused on synthesis of our molecule candidates, and work on parallel synthesis and self-driving labs; will be set up in my collaborator’s lab - reach out for details if interested). Finally, I will be looking for students at UofT with enrolment in January.

Please forward to anyone that might be interested, and in case of any questions either reach out here or email me (details).

Hey there! I'm a scientist at Arcadia Science, a company using evolutionary biology to accelerate translational research. We've posted some jobs here previously, but I wanted to share one that I'm particularly excited about. I'm part of the Discovery Platform at Arcadia, where I lead a team that creates protein-related tools, methods, and frameworks to mine and/or leverage the tree of life. We’re looking for a protein designer with deep protein knowledge and computational expertise to join our team. In this role, you’d generate and execute ideas that expand our capacity in protein design. If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please take a look at the job ad here.

In addition to this job, we have a ton of other new jobs available. Check out our career page for more info! And if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch!

Considering academia? My department (Bioengineering) at UOregon has 3 open faculty positions, with data science/ML/synthetic biology/protein engineering all areas of interest. Applications at any level (assistant, associate, or full professor) are welcome, and applicants with an industry background are also encouraged! First round of application reviews is Oct 7th. It's a great place to work. Happy to answer any questions!

We are Arcadia Science, a company founded and led by scientists. Our mission is to transform evolutionary innovations into real-world solutions by openly developing more efficient, replicable, and sustainable ways to leverage the biology of diverse organisms.

The Science Operations Internship is an opportunity for scientists with computational and automation skills to explore operational roles in biotech. Interns will pilot new frameworks, processes, and tools that streamline our work at Arcadia. You'll gain hands-on experience with automation tools, develop a product-oriented mindset, and contribute to process optimization.
