devoted to developing structural and machine learning-based methods for
molecular design within client’s Research and Early Development (gRED)
organization. The successful candidate will manage projects deploying new techniques for
machine learning-based molecular optimization for the analysis and design of
small and large molecule drugs within target-driven design campaigns. Special
focus will be given to engineering pipelines for probabilistic molecular
property prediction and Bayesian acquisition for active learning-based drug
discovery. Additional activities may extend to include engineering pipelines
for molecular generative modeling.
Qualifications:
- PhD in a quantitative
field (e.g., Computer Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Computational
Biology, Physics), or MS with 3+ years of industry experience.
- Demonstrated experience with machine learning libraries in production-ready
workflows (e.g., PyTorch + Lightning + Weights and Biases).
- For this role, we are seeking candidates with significant experience in at
least one of the following areas, and ideally some experience in one or more of
the others, listed in order of importance: Molecular property prediction,
Probabilistic modeling/inference, Bayesian optimization or active learning,
