If this sounds like an environment youd love to work in, even if you only have some of the experience listed below, we encourage you to apply.
As a Research Scientist on the Biomolecule Design effort in AI Research team, you will be responsible for building the next generation of biological models that will be foundational to Lilas autonomous discovery loop. Youll work closely with researchers and engineers to train, test, and deploy models for experimentation. Your work will directly support advances in scientific models, reinforcement learning, and agentic AI capabilities.
- Pursue a research agenda to improve state-of-the-art models for biomolecule (DNA, RNA, and proteins) design.
- Scientific reinforcement learning environments to improve model performance.
- Autonomous pipelines that integrate experimental feedback with in silico predictions.
What Youll Need to Succeed
- PhD or equivalent research experience in ML models for biological domains.
- Experience with training and using state-of-the-art biomolecule design models (AlphaFold, Evo2, ESM, etc).
- Experience designing and running experiments to improve model performance
- Strong coding skills and ML framework(PyTorch, JAX, etc) expertise.
- Are passionate about the impact of AI for science.
- Publications in ML for biology at top research venues.
- Experience with building design-build-test loops (DBTL) for biomolecular design
- Experience with distributed systems or high-performance computing
- Experience with large language models or reinforcement learning.
