A completed or nearly completed PhD or comparable industry research experience is expected.

Required

• Experienced in Python software development with object-oriented design and basic deployment, ideally demonstrated by published software projects (e.g., github).
• Experienced in developing and implementation of deep learning systems (e.g., in PyTorch or JAX).
• Experienced in modelling or simulation of molecules, ideally biomolecules.
• High-quality publications in leading disciplinary or interdisciplinary journals or conferences.

Preferred

• Experience with protein science or bioinformatics.
• Experience with interpreting and including experimental data into models, e.g., Cryo-EM.
• Understanding of computational statistics and experience with generative model development (e.g., diffusion or flow-models).
• Experience in method development for molecular dynamics and statistical mechanics.
• Track-record of developing and optimizing novel deep learning architectures.
  

• Contribute to and drive an ambitious, high-impact, research agenda development on machine learning in the molecular sciences.
• Develop efficient and expressive machine learning models for biomolecules.
• Develop strategies for integrating large-scale heterogeneous model data from molecular simulation and laboratory experiments, and identifying untapped data sources.
• Write research code to test new approaches or develop novel theoretical and practical insights.
• Prepare technical papers and presentations.
• Working on a day-to-day basis with an international and interdisciplinary research team on one overarching research goal.
• Being fully committed to one research project that may take several years to come to fruition and prioritizing team success over individual research interests.
