Arc Institute seeks an outstanding scientist to join the Institute as a Science Fellow. The successful applicant would be appointed for a five-year term, with a formal check-in after three years, and would be employed by the Arc Institute. Science Fellows are early-career independent group leaders that pursue research agendas with a combination of innovative technologies, originality, and risk that are unlikely to be supported by traditional funding sources. They are provided with no-strings-attached funding as well as cutting-edge scientific and infrastructure support to enable high-risk, high-reward science, including lab space at Arc Headquarters in Palo Alto.Candidates who aspire to groundbreaking research in computational science/machine learning, chemical biology, human genetics, immunology, neurobiology, and/or technology development, with an emphasis on application to complex human disease, are particularly encouraged to apply.

This search is open to individuals who have completed or expect to complete their graduate training (e.g., PhD, MD, MD/PhD) between spring 2024 and summer 2026. To receive full consideration, candidates are encouraged to apply by January 12, 2026. New applications will be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled.
