IMMEDIATE OPENING! Aikium Inc. (aikium.com) is looking to add a deep learning scientist with experience in applying computational methods for reasoning about proteins. You will play a defining role in enhancing our AI roadmap, as we develop our category-defining protein biologics — the SeqRs. Recently featured in the STIFEL report as "one of the hottest startups in the AI / biopharma space", we are solving a previously intractable problem using a stack that spans bioinformatics, LLMs, generative protein design, genetic algorithms and NGS pipelines. This is backed by multiple ultra-high throughput experimental platforms that generate massive amounts of labeled data at scale.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in the computational sciences
- Expertise in structure-based or sequence-based methods applied to proteins
- Familiarity with computational tools and databases related to proteins and other biomolecules
Desired Attributes
- Intense analytical ability and scientific mindset
- Driven to produce impact
Compensation: ~$150k / annum, with liberal stock options proportional to demonstrated caliber and domain knowledge; health insurance
