Talent Program - Research – Chemical Biology- Co-Op

Overview

The Future Talent Program features Cooperative (Co-op) education that lasts up to 6 months and will include one or more projects. These opportunities in our Research and Development Division can provide you with development and a chance to see if we are the right company for your long-term goals. We are Chemical Biology in the Quantitative Biosciences department, leveraging robust scientific methodology and state-of-the-art instrumentation to drive the next medical breakthrough and advance drug candidates into the clinic.

We are seeking a highly motivated Co-op scientist to contribute to our early drug discovery work. The successful candidate will focus on high-content imaging, morphological profiling, and multimodal data integration to study complex biological systems and support molecular mechanism-of-action studies.

• Aggregate, organize, and analyze high-content imaging data (e.g., cell painting, phenotypic profiling, live-cell imaging) to integrate multimodal datasets.
• Perform hands-on laboratory work including mammalian cell culture, perturbation experiments, and imaging-based assay execution.
• Analyze and interpret datasets and present findings to team.

• Gain hands-on experience in image-based profiling and multimodal data integration.
• Develop skills in experimental design, computational data analysis, and data-driven biological insight generation.
• Collaborate with experienced scientists in a fast-paced research environment.

• Required:
  
  Currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate student (BS, MS, or PhD) in biological sciences, bioengineering, computational biology, or related field.
• Experience with high-content imaging or microscopy-based data and analysis of multimodal biological datasets (e.g., imaging data with RNA-Seq, high-throughput screens, proteomics).
• Proficiency with data analysis tools or programming languages (e.g., Python, R, MATLAB, or similar).

• Hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture and imaging assays, including Cell Painting.
• Experience with multimodal data aggregation and visualization.

• Location:
  
  Cambridge, MA
• Commitment: 6 months (start date flexible; by June 15th, 2026)

Please note that this position may be closed before the posted end date or may remain open longer, at the discretion of the company.
