## About the role

Biohub operates one of the largest AI compute clusters dedicated to biology, spanning three frontier research institutes with some of the world's leading biologists. We're not a startup trying to find product-market fit, and we're not a pharma company optimizing a pipeline. We're building frontier AI for fundamental science, as open science, at a scale no one else is doing. This is a unique moment for scientific acceleration.

## What they're looking for

- Build on and advance the AI systems at the frontier of biology to accelerate science
- Design novel model architectures and scale pre-training pipelines for our biology foundation models
- Build post-training systems that drive biological discovery: RL, reward modeling, reasoning, and multi-agent orchestration for long-horizon scientific tasks
- Design evaluation frameworks and AI systems with scientists across Biohub and beyond, grounded in real biological outcomes and real world impact
- Engage the wider scientific community through impactful publications, open-source releases, and collaborations worldwide
