AI Scientist

仕事内容 ■Position and Work Environment HIROTSU BIO SCIENCE Inc., the pioneering developer and provider of N-NOSE, the world's first primary screening cancer test using nematodes, is expanding its innovative research and development team at the Shonan R&D Center. We are seeking two exceptional PhD scientists to drive forward-thinking projects in wet and dry biology and to spearhead AI integration for evolving N-NOSE into advanced, precision multi-cancer early detection tools with US FDA approval. You'll focus on developing scalable data processing algorithms, machine learning models, and AI/ML-driven diagnostics to enhance cancer-type identification and screening accuracy, all while collaborating in our innovative, team-oriented lab. If you're passionate about blending biological expertise with cutting-edge computational tools to revolutionize early cancer detection, this is your opportunity to join a dynamic, collaborative environment that values creativity, initiative, and real-world impact. As a fast-rising company born from academic roots and achieving rapid growth, we stand apart from traditional Japanese firms by fostering an agile structure that encourages open dialogue, bold ideas, and swift decision-making. Our Chairman (former CEO) and the Founder, Dr. Takaaki Hirotsu, a scientist himself, leads alongside a diverse team of experts, sparking lively discussions to invent technologies that transform medicine and save lives. Here, you'll experience the full journey from lab discovery to global commercialization, with your contributions directly recognized through performance-based advancements, leadership opportunities, and stock options to fuel your motivation. Nestled in the Shonan Health Innovation Park (iPark) in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, our R&D Center thrives in a world-class, modular facility designed for flexibility and inspiration. Unlike conventional Japanese workplaces, iPark evokes an international vibe with open collaborative spaces, themed lounges, recreational amenities like billiards, tennis, and a gymnasium, plus clubs and events that blend work and play. Enjoy daily-changing cafeteria menus, a cozy café-bar, and frequent networking gatherings that energize our researchers. This vibrant ecosystem, home to over 100 innovative companies, promotes cross-disciplinary exchanges, relaxed creativity, and a work-life balance that keeps our team enthusiastic and productive. Job Description • Lead regular team meetings: prepare materials, present findings, and report progress with clear, actionable insights. • Design and document experiment protocols, results, and reports to ensure reproducibility and efficiency. • Author high-impact academic papers and contribute to building our intellectual property (IP) portfolio. • Represent the company at national and international conferences, showcasing our breakthroughs. • Engage in collaborative research with universities, hospitals, and industry partners to accelerate innovation. • Foster cross-departmental cooperation, actively participate in company events, and handle light administrative tasks. • Embrace a proactive mindset to propose and iterate on ideas in a fast-paced, supportive environment. [Specific Responsibilities] • Pioneer AI technologies for nematode-based cancer screening, including building prototypes with production-ready code for high-performance algorithms. • Conduct genetic engineering, chemotaxis experiments using nematodes, and statistical data analysis to refine N-NOSE capabilities. • Develop generative AI models to process large biological datasets, enabling precise cancer-type identification and next-gen cancer tests. • Stay ahead of the curve by integrating state-of-the-art machine learning, deep learning networks, and competing technologies into our pipeline. • Blend wet lab techniques (e.g., nematode handling, genetic modifications) with dry lab skills (e.g., algorithm development, coding in Python or similar) for holistic R&D.

求めている人材 Job Requirements, Skills, and Others • PhD in a science-related field (e.g., biology, bioinformatics, medicine, engineering, or equivalent), including those nearing completion. • No nationality restrictions, we welcome global talent to our inclusive, English-friendly workplace. • Essential: Strong background in wet/dry biology, algorithm development, coding proficiency (e.g., Python, R), forward-thinking innovation, and excellent teamwork skills. • Preferred: Experience in venture or startup environments, securing competitive research funding, or serving as first/responsible author on peer-reviewed publications. • Key soft skills: Presentation prowess, leadership to drive projects independently, initiative-taking, and a collaborative, positive personality with flexibility. • Language: Proficient English (reading/writing papers, conversational level); Japanese is advantageous but not required. • Desirable: Interest in AI/machine learning for diagnostics, nematode research, or statistical data analysis, though not mandatory, as we value quick learners.
