Company mission

To transform small molecule drug discovery to solve critical patient needs.

Role

Who you are

  • A deep learning expert with a track record of doing novel research in one or more of the following domains: denoising diffusion, normalizing flows, flow matching, neural ODEs and SDEs, or other cutting edge generative or predictive machine learning models
  • Independent thinker with a strong sense of ownership and capability of driving research ideas from first-principles-based conceptualization to state-of-the-art realization
  • Strong coder who is not afraid of deep dives into engineering whenever necessary
  • Curious, problem-oriented thinker who is excited to dive deep into the emerging field at the intersection of AI, physics, chemistry, and biology and make foundational contributions and discoveries (no previous experience in anything but ML necessary)

Desirable

  • PhD in machine learning, computer science, other computational sciences or equivalent research experience and strong publication record at top tier ML venues are preferred
  • Hands-on experience with some of the core libraries we use: Pytorch, Pytorch Lightning, Pytorch Geometric
  • Experience in distributed training and inference of large models on GPU clusters
  • Experience working with some of the following: molecular systems (protein sequences and 3D structures, small molecules, etc.), ML force fields or other physics-informed models and methods, or point cloud data in other application domains, such as 3D graphics

What the job involves

  • We’re seeking an experienced ML Research Scientist to shape and lead the ML research agenda for generative modeling of molecular systems, which is instrumental to our mission
  • You will be at the forefront of pioneering research initiatives, driving the continuous evolution and enhancement of our AI platform, while collaborating with exceptional engineers, researchers, and a team of biochemistry experts
  • Lead transformative research projects that enhance the Genesis AI platform's capabilities, focusing on generative models for molecular systems
  • Navigate the latest deep learning literature, extracting insights from generative modeling in adjacent domains (language, images, 3D graphics, etc.), develop novel models and training techniques for molecular data, and communicate your findings to the team
  • Carefully design and run experiments at scale to validate most promising approaches and work closely with engineers to ship state-of-the-art models to production
  • Contribute to the research community by publishing some of our findings in the form of research papers and blog posts at top tier AI/ML venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, etc.), attending conferences and workshops, and engaging in continuous learning and knowledge exchange
  • Have the opportunity to mentor and guide more junior members of our technical team as well as research interns, fostering an environment of growth and innovation

Our take

Genesis Therapeutics is at the forefront of advancing drug creation to foster better healthcare outcomes. the company offers an AI-powered molecule discovery platform, known as GEMS, designed to empower medical researchers. By seamlessly integrating AI with biotech, GEMS leverages deep learning and molecular simulations to explore uncharted territories within chemical space, unveiling novel opportunities for functional drugs.

Boasted to be the "industry's most advanced molecular AI platform", GEMS accelerates the discovery of small molecules while also enhancing potency and selectivity. This breakthrough capability not only expedites the development process but also paves the way for creating medications targeting previously inaccessible domains.

With significant funding backing its endeavours, Genesis Therapeutics is poised to transition into clinical testing. Moreover, the company aims to broaden the scope of its platform, extending its reach to encompass a wider array of therapeutic targets.
