We are seeking an exceptional Machine Learning Scientist to help build the next generation of foundation models using large-scale genomic and multi-omic datasets.

What You'll Do:

• Design, train, and evaluate large-scale machine learning models (e.g., transformers, diffusion models, VAEs) tailored to genomic and biological data.
• Develop self-supervised learning methods to extract meaningful representations from high-dimensional and heterogeneous omics data.
• Collaborate with biologists, bioinformaticians, and software engineers to translate research into impactful applications in gene discovery, drug development, and synthetic biology.
• Contribute to model interpretability and ensure models are robust, scalable, and biologically grounded.
• Publish your work and present findings at internal reviews, external conferences, and in peer-reviewed journals.

What We're Looking For:

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computational Biology, Machine Learning, or related field, or equivalent industry experience.
• Strong experience building and scaling deep learning models—especially foundation models or large-scale representation learning.
• Familiarity with genomics, transcriptomics, or related high-throughput biological data is highly preferred.
• Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks like PyTorch or JAX.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams.

Why Join Us:

• Work on meaningful challenges at the intersection of AI and biology.
• Have access to some of the largest and most diverse genomic datasets in the world.
• Collaborate with world-class scientists and engineers in a highly innovative environment.
