Scientist, Protein Bioinformatics

A Bit About Us: We are Arcadia Science. Arcadia is a science company founded and led by scientists. Our mission is to transform evolutionary innovations into real-world solutions by openly developing more efficient, replicable, and sustainable ways to leverage the biology of diverse organisms. Scientists at Arcadia share as much of their research as possible to gather community feedback and accelerate scientific progress. The Opportunity: We are looking for an innovative and collaborative scientist to join the Functional Annotation team, where we employ comparative biology to study proteins across diverse organisms and unlock biological novelty. As part of Arcadia’s Discovery Platform, our team explores evolutionary patterns at the molecular scale by conceiving and crafting new methods, tools, and analyses using cutting edge biology and technology. In this role, you will engage collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team to design, create, and iterate on user-focused workflows and tools for comparing protein families in diverse organisms. Your role will be to help us enhance our current computational functionality by refining existing structure-based protein comparison tools and by developing and deploying new expansions aimed at comparative protein biology. Enthusiasm for and participation in open science is also required as we routinely share our findings via our open source Pubs and GitHub. Our ideal candidate should have deep knowledge of protein biology and state of the art tools for computationally studying proteins (think AlphaFold, Foldseek, docking tools, molecular dynamics, etc). Additionally, they should have computational expertise and experience with statistical analysis.
