Research Scientist, Biology

Tbwa Chiat/Day Inc
New York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 3/23/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/19/2025

EvolutionaryScale’s mission is to develop artificial intelligence to understand biology for the benefit of human health and society, through open, safe, and responsible research, and in partnership with the scientific community. Over the next ten years AI will transform biological design, making molecules and entire cells programmable. We will develop the foundation models for biology that enable this.

To continue to move the field forward in this emerging area, we prioritize individuals who have shown excellence and creativity in their respective domains over specific domain expertise. Having both biology and AI expertise is great, but not a requirement.

Our team does both deep research and product development, not only building the frontier biological AI models in the field but also putting them in the hands of the researchers at the forefront of the life sciences. This fundamentally requires elite engineers and scientists working together to solve big research and product challenges. We are building a world class multi-disciplinary team spanning AI research, engineering, biology research, and business roles, which requires strong communication and collaboration across roles.

The EvolutionaryScale team is based in two locations : San Francisco and New York. We believe in flexibility around work schedules and locations, but expect that our team members will work half of the days or more of most weeks from one of our two offices.

The role

  • Work creatively at the intersection of AI and biology and propel the field forward.
  • Drive dataset creation and curation for the development and evaluation of multimodal biological frontier models.
  • Advance frontier applications of AI in biology, including molecular design and engineering.
  • Contribute to model interpretability, capability analysis, and deepen model understanding.
  • Collaborate directly with researchers, engineers, and scientists at the company’s partners (clients or academic partners) to deploy the company’s technology and research towards the partner’s business. Be effective representatives of the company and our products to partners and other external collaborators.
  • Engage the wider scientific community through impactful publications and open source releases.

Qualifications (preferred)

  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, and experience with deep learning models with pytorch or equivalent libraries.
  • Expertise analyzing some or all of the following biological data modalities : DNA, metagenomic, protein, structural, single cell, or imaging data.
  • Industry experience in early stage drug development or molecular engineering (biologics, cell therapy or gene therapy preferred).
  • Ability to plan and run computational biology experiments, analyze and communicate outcomes.
  • The salary range for this position is $150,000 to $350,000 per year, plus a competitive equity package. Compensation package will vary based on job-related skills, experience, and knowledge. The compensation package also includes comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
