Full Job Description

Organization Overview: The Vertebrate Genome Laboratory (VGL) at The Rockefeller University leads international efforts in vertebrate genome sequencing, assembly, annotation, and evolutionary analysis. As a core laboratory of the Vertebrate Genomes Project and a major hub of the Earth BioGenome Project, VGL is at the forefront of generating high-quality, telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies across vertebrate diversity.The laboratory provides an end-to-end genomics platform spanning sample processing, sequencing, genome assembly, and downstream data analytics. It specializes in high-molecular weight DNA extraction and long-read genomic technologies, offering integrated library preparation and sequencing services for high–molecular weight genomic DNA, long amplicons, and full-length transcriptome sequencing (Iso-Seq). These capabilities are tightly coupled with in-house computational expertise for genome assembly, curation, annotation, and comparative genomics, and are supported by state-of-the-art platforms including PacBio and ONT. Overview:

We seek a Postdoctoral Associate with AI engineering skills to work as part of our new GAIA (Genomic Artificial Intelligence Applications) collaboration, between The Rockefeller University, Revive & Restore, Cornell University, and partners including Google AI Genomics, funded by the Bezos Earth Fund and Google.org. The project aims to develop next-generation AI systems that scale genome assembly and enable genome-driven conservation.

Two central goals of GAIA are:

to build an AI Genome Curation Assistant (Jarvis): an AI system that combines modern machine learning approaches with large-scale biological data to automate genome curation by detecting, interpreting, and correcting structural errors, reducing manual effort from weeks to minutes thus that allowing to scale up to thousands of species per year;
To build Genera, a multimodal, agentic AI system that integrates genomic and ecological data to assess extinction risk and generate actionable genetic rescue strategies for conservation practitioners.

This role blends research and engineering, with an emphasis on building deployable AI systems while contributing to scientific publications. The successful Postdoc will focus on the development of Jarvis and will also have the opportunity to contribute to the development of Genera.

The core technical challenge is to translate expert-driven genome curation workflows into learnable AI systems. This involves combining:

Pattern recognition
DNA sequence-level reasoning
Iterative decision-making across multi-step pipelines

The successful candidate will design and implement end-to-end AI pipelines integrating:

Transformer-based models for DNA sequence reasoning
Computer vision approaches for genomic data representations
Graph-aware or structured prediction methods for genome assembly

You will work across modeling, data, and systems integration to build a unified platform for AI-assisted genome assembly and curation, in close collaboration with VGL bioinformatics teams, genome curators, and the Rockefeller Data Science Platform, a resource center with AI developers. The role includes access to substantial compute resources and collaboration with leading AI partners.

Responsibilities:

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Design and implement AI models for genome assembly tasks, including:
Chromosome assignment and ordering
Detection of structural errors from Hi-C/contact maps
Suggestion of corrections using sequence-aware models
Develop multi-stage inference and decision pipelines integrating detection, reasoning, and correction
Build and optimize models combining multiple data modalities (sequence, Hi-C, annotations, assembly graphs)
Engineer training datasets and features from large curated genome collections (~3,000 species)
Develop scalable, production-quality pipelines and contribute to system architecture
Collaborate with domain experts to formalize and automate genome curation strategies
Contribute to scientific publications, software releases, and collaborative research

Qualifications:

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Ph.D. (or equivalent) in machine learning, computer science, computational biology, or a related field
Strong experience in machine learning and deep learning, including transformer-based or related architectures
Proven ability to build end-to-end AI systems, from modeling to integration
Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow)
Experience with HPC or cloud environments and distributed training
Strong software engineering skills (modular design, testing, version control)
Ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Experience building multimodal models combining sequence, image, and structured data
Experience with computer vision or analysis of structured visual data
Familiarity with graph-based models or structured prediction methods
Experience with foundation models or large-scale pretraining
Familiarity with genomic data formats and pipelines (FASTA, BAM, Hi-C, assembly graphs)
Experience with MLOps/DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD)

The Rockefeller University is an equal opportunity employer – veterans/individuals with disabilities. Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to characteristics protected by applicable local, state or federal law, including but not limited to disability and protected veteran status.

The salary of the finalist selected for this role will be set based on various factors, including but not limited to organizational budgets, qualifications, experience, education, licenses, specialty, and training. The hiring range provided represents The Rockefeller University's good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation at the time of posting.

Compensation Range: Min: USD $72,100.00/Yr. Compensation Range: Max: USD $72,100.00/Yr.
