Role: Biological foundation model researcher focused on understanding and evaluating AI-designed drugs through computational biology and machine learning. Responsibilities: investigate model performance relative to data quality and quantity, develop biologically meaningful benchmarks, design experiments, analyze datasets (e.g., RNA-seq), identify biological signals, and collaborate with biologists and AI researchers to refine models and data strategies. Requirements: PhD in computational biology, machine learning, or related field; strong quantitative skills; experience analyzing high throughput sequencing data; programming proficiency in Python; excellent communication skills. Preferred: 3+ years post-PhD experience in relevant research. HighValue: application of generative AI models to biological data, focus on therapeutic design objectives, experience with functional genomics, and cross-disciplinary collaboration across U.S. and Europe. WorkSetup: primarily in-office with some travel; flexible hours to accommodate collaboration across time zones.
