仕事内容Job description [ AI Scientist Job Description ]
Join our innovative biotech startup focused on leveraging artificial intelligence to accelerate drug discovery and development. We're seeking a highly motivated and skilled AI Scientist to design, implement, and deploy cutting-edge machine learning and deep learning models on complex biological data.

[ Key Responsibilities ]
The AI Scientist will be a core member of our interdisciplinary team, responsible for:
• Model Development: Design, train, optimize, and validate machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models for tasks such as predicting drug-target interactions, analyzing genomics/proteomics data, virtual screening of compounds, and modeling biological pathways.
• Algorithm Research: Stay abreast of the latest advancements in AI/ML research and apply novel algorithms to solve challenging problems unique to the biotech domain.
• Pipeline Implementation: Develop scalable and reproducible computational pipelines for model training, evaluation, and deployment within our cloud infrastructure.
• Collaboration: Work closely with biologists, bioinformaticians and other AI scientists to translate biological questions into measurable AI problems and integrate AI solutions into the discovery process.
• Communication: Clearly communicate complex results, model limitations, and insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
応募資格Requirement [ Required Qualifications ]
• Education: PhD or Master's degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related quantitative field with a strong focus on Machine Learning/AI.
• Technical Proficiency:
- High-level programming skills in Python and experience with core ML/DL libraries (e.g., PyTorch).
- Proven experience in applying advanced ML techniques (transformers, graph neural networks, few-shot learning, latent space optimization) to real-world problems.
- Familiarity with cloud computing environments (e.g., AWS) and containerization (e.g., Docker).
• Statistical Skills: Excellent command of statistical methods, experimental design, and model evaluation metrics.
• Good communication.
• Scientific mindset.

[ Preferred Qualifications ]
• Published papers in top-tier AI/ML or computational biology conferences/journals.
• Experience with Generative AI models for molecule or protein design.
• Experience in a biotech or pharmaceutical R&D setting.
