Head of Machine Learning Research

Deine Rolle im Team

Unsere Erwartungen an dich

Qualifikationen

• You hold a PhD in computational chemistry, cheminformatics, structural biology, biophysics, computer science, or a related field, with demonstrated depth in both molecular science and machine learning.
• You possess deep, current expertise in ML for molecules: graph neural networks, transformers, generative methods (diffusion, flow matching, autoregressive), Bayesian optimization and active learning, transfer learning on sparse assay data, and uncertainty quantification.
• You have a working command of the discovery domain: SAR interpretation, multi-parameter optimization, ADMET and developability, protein structure and ligand binding, docking and free energy methods.
• You demonstrate impact on real programs, with advanced molecules, cycles shortened, and decisions changed, a publication record alone is not sufficient.
• You have the credibility to partner with medicinal chemists and structural biologists as a scientific peer, and to challenge and be challenged on design decisions.
• You have a track record of delivering models and software into production use by scientists, not just prototypes.
• You maintain a strong external profile: publications, conference presence, or leadership in precompetitive consortia.
• You speak English fluently.

Erfahrung

• Exceptional MSc candidates with equivalent experience will be considered.
• You bring extensive relevant experience, including strong exposure to leading technical teams; experience leading leaders is strongly preferred.
• You have experience in a large matrixed pharma R&D organization, or scaling a capability from startup to enterprise.
• You bring experience beyond conventional small molecules: PROTACs and molecular glues, macrocycles, peptides, covalent inhibitors, or oligonucleotides.
