E11 Bio - Sample Optimization & Agentic Microscopy Scientist

E11 Bio is on a mission to advance connectomics towards whole brain scale for humans and other mammals. We are a collaborative and interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers engaged in a neuroscience moonshot project to develop a radical technology platform for scalable mammalian brain mapping. E11 Bio is a non-profit Convergent Research focused research organization located in Alameda, California, pursuing blue-skies neuroscience research yet operating like a nimble, tight-knit start-up.

E11 Bio is seeking a mission-aligned experimental scientist, equally at home at the bench, the microscope, and in quantitative data analysis, who brings an engineering approach to the full pipeline, from sample preparation through molecular readout tools and microscopy. This role involves both optimizing the physical preparation of the tissue and implementing agentic microscopy. Reporting to the Barcoding Lead, you will define what high-quality tissue means quantitatively and will drive the improvement of high quality morphology and protein readout by working closely with molecular biology, imaging, and computational teams to support whole-brain connectomics.
