RESPONSIBILITIES
-
Design and deploy innovative computational approaches - integrating physics-informed, biology-informed, causal and uncertainty-aware machine learning — to accelerate and de-risk key stages of drug R&D, including target/biomarker identification, molecular optimization, translational predictive modeling.
-
Develop and optimize computational frameworks that integrate diverse data types (chemical, biological, omics, clinical) into cohesive models.
-
Collaborate with domain experts in computational biology, cheminformatics, pharmacology, and drug discovery to tailor computational models to real-world problems.
-
Publish research findings in leading journals and conferences, and contribute to partnerships and strategic initiatives as opportunities arise.
-
Mentor junior team members and contribute to a collaborative, cross-disciplinary research environment.
REQUIREMENT
-
PhD in Artificial Intelligence/Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Pharmaceutical Sciences or a related field, with a focus on machine learning or computational modeling.
-
Strong publication record or demonstrable contributions to open-source tools or reproducible research.
-
Demonstrated expertise with AI/ML methodologies and implementations.
-
Excellent problem-solving skills, with an ability to balance theoretical rigor with practical implementation.
