R&D Engineer II

<div class="content-intro"><p>The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded in 2015 by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg to harness the power of technology to pursue some of society’s most ambitious goals — from curing or preventing all disease to transforming how students learn.</p> <p>At CZI, you’ll join a deeply collaborative, mission-driven community where your work helps drive breakthroughs across our flagship nonprofit organizations, Biohub and Learning Commons. Whether enabling scientific breakthroughs via open science and AI-powered biology or strengthening the tools teachers and students rely on every day, your contributions help turn bold ideas into real-world impact.</p> <p>Our teams operate at the intersection of innovation and scale, building the infrastructure, partnerships, and capabilities that allow scientists, educators, and innovators to tackle some of the most complex challenges of our time — and to do so with urgency, integrity, and optimism.</p></div><h2><span style="color: rgb(40, 40, 39); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The Team</span></h2> <p>Our immune cell reprogramming team integrates foundational research on immunology and disease biology with AI-modeling to develop engineered cells that harness our own immune system to detect and treat early signs of age-related diseases, like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. These technologies will enable precise, context-dependent therapeutic responses only when and where it is needed. You can learn more about our work <a href="https://biohub.org/immune-cell-reprogramming/">here</a>. </p> <p>Our work brings together three powerhouse universities - Columbia University, The Rockefeller University, and Yale University - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine.</p> <p><strong>Our Vision</strong></p> <ul> <li>Pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environments</li> <li>Enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideas</li> <li>Facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond</li> </ul> <p>We are a team of passionate individuals powered by technology, guided by scientific research, and driven by collaboration, working toward a mission to cure or prevent all disease.</p> <h2><span style="color: rgb(40, 40, 39); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The Opportunity</span></h2> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The Advanced Single Cell Technologies group provides critical single cell profiling and perturbation assays, technology, and expertise to the Biohub NY community. The goal of the platform is to develop cutting-edge single-cell technologies in collaborations related to studying human disease and the interaction of immune cells with human organs.

We are seeking a creative, methodical, resourceful, and technically rigorous engineer capable of driving projects independently and on a team. This role sits at the intersection of device engineering, cell biology/immunology, and reagent formulation, and requires an ability to own a problem end-to-end, from proof-of-concept demonstration to prototype and beyond. This role o
