  • Experience working with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch).
  • Track record of impressive work in industry/academia centered on ML / deep learning.
  • Currently pursuing a graduate degree in math, CS, stats, bioengineering, comp bio, or a related field (not a hard requirement for exceptional candidates).
  • Industry experience in a data science or engineering position

Pluses:

  • Knowledge of physics, math, molecular biology, chemistry, etc.
  • Previous work on ML applied to problems in structural biology or molecular design.
  • Strong publication record.

What we offer:

  •  The opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI with leading researchers from top institutions.
