+ Proficiency in Python with solid object-oriented design and software engineering best practices; hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch) and end-to-end ML workflows; computer science foundations enabling translation from math to production code.
+ Strong publication record or other scientific achievements (e.g., awards, patents, grants).
**Preferred qualifications**
+ Knowledge of Alzheimer's disease or neurodegenerative biology.
+ Experience with biomarker discovery and/or patient stratification.
+ Expertise in one or more of multi-omics integration at scale (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics; single-cell/spatial preferred), graph/network methods, causal inference.
