As the Machine Learning Senior Scientist, you will develop novel deep learning algorithms based on proprietary and public biological datasets to drive clinical and discovery research.

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop deep learning predictive algorithms for problems such as protein-protein binding/docking and three-dimensional structural inference using large proprietary and public datasets to support our novel immunotherapies.
• Benchmark performance against internal and external ML algorithms/approaches from leading competing groups.
• Integrate novel algorithms into software that is used for therapeutic design and other clinical applications.
• Collaborate with diverse lab groups to provide guidance on experimental design and data interpretation from the computational perspective.
• Develop and contribute to external collaborations and partnerships.
• Liaise with lab scientists and software engineers as a project team member and provide expertise as a scientific resource for key company programs.

Skills and Requirements:

• 5+ years of project-based work in the ML field - preference for candidates with a PhD in electrical engineering, computer science, applied math, physics, bioinformatics or related field.
• Proven track record of quality of work is required.
• Fluency in Python with expertise in Keras, PyTorch, Theano, or TensorFlow.
• Experience working with Senior Scientist II, Computational Biologist, and ability to manage and customize cloud-based computing environments.
• Project-based experience with deep learning (including CNNs and RNNs) and handling large, high-dimensional data sets.
• Up-to-date knowledge of the fast-moving ML literature and familiarity with field leaders.
• The ability to identify and investigate important new research topics independently.
• The capacity to develop and iterate on one's own ideas, as well as resource existing knowledge and methods.
• Strong written and verbal skills; ability to translate and communicate complex information and concepts for scientists of diverse backgrounds.
• Positive and collaborative attitude; ability to work effectively with internal and external collaborators and multidisciplinary teams composed of scientists and non-scientists to translate emerging research to guide internal programs.
• Capacity to prioritize and work independently to complete tasks and advance projects with minimal supervision.
• Familiarity with protein biophysics, x-ray crystallography, and/or molecular dynamics preferred.
