The role

Absci is looking for a Senior/Staff AI Scientist to advance and deploy protein design models for antibody drug design. In this role, you will apply your broad expertise across specialized disciplines in AI Drug Discovery. We are looking for exceptional contributors with backgrounds in deep learning, protein design and engineering, drug discovery, natural language processing, computer vision, and molecular dynamics to develop innovative approaches to creating and assessing therapeutic antibodies in silico.

Absci offers AI Scientists a unique opportunity to both develop novel, cutting edge machine learning models and apply these models directly to identify novel targets, unlocking previously intractable disease interventions, and to generate candidate antibody therapeutics.

This is a remote position, with the option to work onsite at our New York City office or our Vancouver, WA headquarters if located within commuting distance

Why Absci’s AI team?

Absci offers AI Scientists a unique opportunity to both develop novel, cutting edge machine learning models and apply these models directly to identify novel targets, unlocking previously intractable disease interventions, and to generate candidate antibody therapeutics. In particular we:

Provide our AI Scientists with access to industry-leading compute resources, enabling large-scale experimentation for model training and deployment
Maintain our own Wet Lab, enabling AI Scientists to validate novel modeling methods via rapid design > build > test > learn cycles
Developed and are growing our own pipeline of clinical-stage assets, enabling AI Scientists to see their work directly translated into therapeutic impact for patients

What you will do

Partner with team members across AI Research, AI Engineering, Computational Biology, and Protein Engineering to achieve success along the following axes:
Novel test-time compute strategies that maximize the quality and efficiency of our design pipelines.
Multi-objective optimization of therapeutic design goals
Solve key challenges of per-target design specification via innovative, AI-driven solutions.
Analyze in silico and in vitro validation results to iteratively improve design and evaluation methodologies
Develop, deliver and publish high-impact research that advances Absci’s position as a thought leader in the field of AI antibody design
Invest in ensuring work is accessible and interpretable to scientists with other domain expertise.
Ability and willingness to learn new technical skills to improve scientific contributions

What you need

PhD or equivalent experience in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Computational Biology, Computational Chemistry, Biophysics, or a related field
3+ years of research experience at the intersection of machine learning and protein design, molecular modeling, or a related field, ideally including industry experience.
Fluency in Python and PyTorch
Comfortable with design, implementation, and evaluation of state-of-the-art AI algorithms for protein design and protein structure prediction
Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in an ambitious, fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment
Demonstrated experience presenting complex technical work to diverse audiences
Strong publication record in respected, high-impact journals and conferences
