latchbio - AI Biologist - Microscopy

• PhD in cell biology, bioimage analysis, pathology, or a related field; or an MD with pathology training • Senior, hands-on imaging experience: you have looked at thousands of samples and know what normal and abnormal look like • Direct experience with image segmentation tools such as CellProfiler, Cellpose, StarDist, QuPath, ilastik, napari, or Fiji • Deep expertise in at least one area (bioimage analysis, cell biology, or histopathology) and working fluency across the others • Strong command of experimental design, image quantification, and statistics • AI-ready from day one: daily use of Claude, Cursor, or similar agents, with the judgment to spot where model reasoning is technically correct but scientifically unsound • Confidence to overrule an AI agent when the evidence demands it, and the openness to update when shown wrong • Ability to calibrate confidence and communicate uncertainty rather than defaulting to binary calls • Bonus: electron microscopy, pathology, or pharmacology experience (e.g., pharmacodynamic or drug-uptake imaging assays) • Bonus: familiarity with public resources such as the Image Data Resource (IDR), BioImage Archive, Human Protein Atlas, Cell Painting Gallery, or TCGA whole-slide images • Culture. We practice radical transparency: you’ll know how the company is doing, what’s working, and what isn’t. It’ll always be us against the problem, never each other. We’re opinionated but respectful, and we bring solutions with our problems. You decide how you work; we judge the output. We use AI constantly, so what we reward is original expert judgment, not AI output passed off as your own. You’ll start on the bench that fits your expertise and can move across teams as you build a track record. People who do well here and bring leadership experience can move quickly into senior roles. Outside of work, we have company outings most months, team off-sites, a Latch run club, cycling, boxing, ice skating, and soccer. Feel free to add to the list.
