The incumbent will apply advanced machine learning techniques to organoid standardization and contribute to the development of predictive models for tissue engineering applications.   Key Responsibilities   Model development. Design and implement machine learning models that predict organoid development outcomes based on protocol parameters, environmental conditions, and molecular characterization data. In silico simulation. Develop in silico models that correspond to organoid growth, maturation, and characterize phenotype while identifying optimal conditions for reproducible organoid generation. Feedback systems. Establish feedback loops between experimental validation and computational prediction in order to iteratively refine and understand protocol standardization. Interdisciplinary collaboration. Work with experimental teams to design characterization and validation experiments and with bioinformatics scientists to integrate multi-modal datasets.   Required Qualifications   Education. Doctoral degree (PhD) in computer science, engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field, with demonstrated experience in AI/ML model development. Programming. Strong programming proficiency in Python, R, or comparable languages, together with experience using machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn. Applied experience. Prior experience applying computational methods in biological laboratory settings, including working knowledge of experimental design principles and biological data types.   Preferred Qualifications   Experience with organoid systems or tissue engineering applications. Knowledge of differential equations and systems biology modeling, and experience with deep learning approaches for biological applications. Familiarity with cloud computing platforms and containerization technologies.     Disclaimer: The above description is meant to illustrate the general nature of work and level of effort being performed by individuals assigned to this position or job description.
