About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as the scientific authority on ground truth for immunology benchmarks
Test whether AI agents can reason like expert immunologists
Turn real immunology workflows into tasks with clear answers, including immune profiling, vaccine immunogenicity, T- and B-cell responses, inflammation and autoimmunity readouts, and immune cell engineering
Write gold-standard answers from raw data with tolerances reflecting donor, assay, and gating variability
Curate flow and spectral cytometry, single-cell and CITE-seq, TCR/BCR repertoires, cytokine panels, serology and neutralization titers, and ELISpot data
Distinguish real biology from doublets, spillover populations, batch effects, and sampling-depth artifacts
Evaluate immunogenicity versus protection, activation versus exhaustion, and mouse findings versus human relevance
Challenge AI conclusions that would not survive expert review
Identify where agents fail, what an expert would do instead, and what evidence would change the conclusion
Reward explicit uncertainty over confident guesses
Collaborate with scientists and engineers to build benchmark tasks and datasets
Start on a team aligned with expertise and potentially move across teams based on performance

Requirements

What you’ll need

PhD in immunology, vaccinology, or a related field
Deep expertise in at least one of: vaccine development, T/B cell or innate immune biology, autoimmunity, cancer immunology, inflammation, or immune cell engineering, demonstrated through peer-reviewed work or industry programs
Experience personally analyzing immune data using FlowJo, R, Python, or similar
Industry experience preferred
Experience using Claude, ChatGPT, or similar, with judgment to identify technically correct but scientifically wrong answers
Strong domain confidence to overrule an AI agent and openness to update when shown wrong
For US employment: eligibility for full-time W-2 employment
Work authorization support available through H-1B, O-1, TN, and STEM OPT sponsorship
