From insitro's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The Opportunity insitro's mission is to bring better drugs faster to the patients who can benefit most, through machine learning and data at scale. Our strategy combines causal evidence from human genetics with in vitro cellular data from our automated wet-lab platforms to find causal genetic intervention points and carry them into therapeutic programs.
In this role you'll lead and grow an established team of statistical geneticists responsible for advancing our machine learning statistical genetics platform and using it to extract novel biological insight. You'll partner closely with ML scientists to develop novel phenotypes, with software engineers to build robust tools, and with computational biologists and therapeutic area scientists to turn genetic signals into programs.
As the leader of this team, you'll set both strategic and technical direction, and structure the collaborations that move insitro's programs forward through a deeper understanding of causal human biology.
This position reports to the Senior Director, AI/ML (Human Genetics), and is remote-eligible within the US or based in South San Francisco with an in-person hybrid schedule of three days per week.
Experience & Qualifications
PhD in statistical genetics, human genetics, computational biology, biostatistics, or a related field, plus 5+ years of experience
Deep knowledge of statistical genetics as applied to target discovery in an industry setting
Direct people management experience, with a track record of mentoring and growing technical talent
Demonstrated experience applying machine learning to genetic, imaging, or other clinical data
A history of publication and methodological innovation in statistical genetics
Core Competencies
You communicate clearly and collaborate easily across functions, including with experimental scientists and software engineers

insitro is a drug discovery and development company using machine learning (ML) and data at scale to decode biology for transformative medicines. At the core of insitro’s approach is the convergence of in-house generated multi-modal cellular data and high-content phenotypic human cohort data. We rely on these data to develop ML-driven, predictive disease models that uncover underlying biologic state and elucidate critical drivers of disease.
These powerful models rely on extensive biological and computational infrastructure and allow insitro to advance novel targets and patient biomarkers, design therapeutics and inform clinical strategy. insitro is advancing a wholly owned and partnered pipeline of insights and therapeutics in neuroscience and metabolism. Since launching in 2018, insitro has raised over $700 million from top tech, biotech and crossover investors, and from collaborations with pharmaceutical partners.
