Full Job Description

## A Bit About Us We are Arcadia Science, an evolutionary biology company founded and led by scientists. Our mission is to turn natural innovations into real-world solutions by developing systematic and quantitative approaches to leveraging biology for therapeutics R&D. We share our research as openly as possible to accelerate discovery and make our work broadly useful. ## The Opportunity We're closing the gap between biological data and biological understanding. Our Validation team does this by closing the design–build–test–learn loop through lab validation across diverse organisms. Read more about our work through our publications. We are seeking a Quantitative Biologist to join our Validation team with strong expertise in using computational analyses across modalities and biological scales to extract meaning from complex data, identifying the limits of existing analytical approaches, and developing new ones to address them. In this role, you will work shoulder-to-shoulder with experimental biologists, and bring your own firsthand experience at the bench to inform how data is collected, analyzed, and interpreted. You’ll work with imaging modalities (Raman spectroscopy, coherent Raman imaging, live-cell microscopy, quantitative phase imaging) and a range of other quantitative measurements across diverse organisms. Your contributions will be instrumental in validating existing tools at Arcadia, shaping how we design and interpret experiments, identifying potential assets, and building robust analytical infrastructure that scales across the team. Top candidates are rigorous, collaborative scientists who are equally at home writing computational pipelines and sitting down with a wet-lab colleague to think through a statistical analysis. They have strong intuitions about image data, high expectations for rigorous experimental design, and the communication skills to make quantitative reasoning accessible to scientists with diverse backgrounds. They have hands-on bench e
