Arc Institute

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Scientist with a strong background in functional genomics and single-cell sequencing to join the Virtual Cell Initiative at Arc Institute. The initiative aims to create the first foundational model that makes accurate predictions of cellular states and their response to intervention. Lead the generation of massive single-cell perturbation datasets across 50+ cancer cell lines to train Virtual Cell models. Responsible for the end-to-end experimental workflow—from mammalian cell culture and large-scale CRISPR screening to single-cell library preparation and sequencing. Exceptional project management capabilities, proficient in organizing complex data streams and adhering to timelines. Collaborate daily with other wet lab scientists, automation engineers, and computational biologists. Bridge the gap between experimental biology and computational innovation.
