Job overview and responsibility

- Design and maintain end‑to‑end data pipelines to ingest, clean, augment, and version large‑scale molecular and phenotypic datasets.

- Automate high‑throughput docking simulations; extract, featurize, and curate docking poses and affinity scores for downstream modeling.

- Research, prototype, and productionize graph neural network and transformer‑based models for molecular property prediction, lead optimization, and virtual screening.

- Develop and integrate semi‑supervised learning and active‑learning workflows to maximize insight from limited experimental labels.

- Establish evaluation frameworks and benchmarks; analyze performance metrics (e.g., ROC‑AUC, enrichment factors) and iterate on model architectures to improve accuracy and robustness.

- Collaborate closely with chemists, biologists, and software engineers to integrate ML solutions into NYB’s discovery platform, ensuring reproducibility, scalability (distributed/GPU training), and maintainable codebases.

- Communicate results and methodologies in team meetings, internal reports, and through external publications or conference presentations.

Required skills and experiences

- Education & Research:

• PhD or equivalent postdoctoral experience in Computer Science, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, or a related discipline, with a strong publication record.

- Technical Expertise:

• At least 5+ Years of Experience in AI/ML
• Proficient in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX); experience with graph libraries (DGL or PyG) and transformer toolkits (Hugging Face).
• Hands‑on with RDKit (cheminformatics) and molecular docking software (e.g., AutoDock Vina, Glide).
• Familiarity with semi‑supervised techniques (consistency regularization, pseudo‑labeling) and self‑attention architectures.

- Infrastructure & Scale: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and distributed training across multi‑GPU clusters.

- Analytical Foundations: Strong background in statistics, optimization, and experimental design; ability to translate biological questions into ML problems.

- Collaboration & Communication: Excellent written and verbal skills; proven ability to work cross‑functionally in fast‑paced environments.

Preferred skills and experiences

- Contributions to open source ML tools; experience in generative molecular modeling; leadership or mentoring of junior researchers.

- Experience working with genomics or omics projects/data (e.g., RNA-seq, WGS, single-cell), including familiarity with common genomics tools and libraries (Bioconductor, scikit-allel, or similar).
