About Immunai:

Immunai is an engineering-first platform company aiming to improve therapeutic decision-making throughout the drug discovery and development process. We are mapping the immune system at unprecedented scale and granularity and applying machine learning to this massive clinico-immune database, in order to generate novel insights into disease pathology for our partners - pharma companies and research institutes. We provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution - from data generation and curation to therapeutics development, that continuously supports and validates the capabilities of our platform.

As drug development is becoming increasingly inefficient, our ultimate goal is to help bring breakthrough medicines to patients as quickly and successfully as possible.

Immunai is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

About the role:

This position offers an opportunity to work in a highly-collaborative environment with world-leading scientists developing and applying state-of-the art profiling technologies to a diverse set of projects at the intersection of the immune system and disease. The successful candidate will work in a fast-paced team and will interface closely with a multidisciplinary team of immunology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics scientists. Specifically, they will contribute to the Molecular Profiling team performing advanced molecular analyses on a diverse set of clinical and experimental samples. The successful candidate will be an excellent team player, agile in thought, energetic, and willing to learn new methods and skills.
