Calico Life Sciences Calico is seeking an expert data scientist or computational biologist to join our multidisciplinary team of mass spectrometrists, biologists and computer scientists to become an i... ntegral part of our solution for proteomics. At Calico we are generating large quantities of proteomics data both from large, unique cohort studies as well as non-standard proteome profiling for both structural proteomics as well as functional and enrichment proteomics. Proteomics profiling experiments come from a range of organisms ranging from yeast to humans, adding to the complexity.
The ideal candidate is someone with strong statistical chops, direct experience with proteomics data analysis techniques, and an ability to use exploratory data analysis techniques and visualizations to help generate new biological hypotheses and insights. The candidate will primarily work with mass spectrometry proteomics data and would be expected to have a detailed knowledge of the data generating process. In this role, the candidate would work collaboratively with members of the Proteomics group, the Computing team, and the broader R&D organization.
