We build models of life beyond human understanding. Our models extrapolate from data to design breakthrough medicines for humanity’s most challenging diseases. Backed by a16z.
About the role
You will integrate molecular and cellular biology, functional genomics, screening, automation, and therapeutic development into a coherent experimental platform. Working closely with ML and translational biology experts, you will design and pioneer experiments to most effectively expand our models’ understanding of life and ability to design better medicines.
What they're looking for
- An outstanding record of innovation in highly scalable biological assays that advance the state-of-the-art in therapeutic discovery, molecular design, or functional genomics
- Deep understanding of how experimental design, measurement quality, and biological context determine what models can learn from data
- Excellent communication across discipline boundaries, including fluency in analyzing and visualizing complex biological data
- Availability to work with team members across US and Europe, with meetings starting at 7am PT
- Readiness to travel several times a year for company retreats and business events
- We value in-person collaboration and expect candidates to work at our lab location
More about this role
Inceptive builds foundation models of life to enable medicines otherwise out of reach. We are seeking an exceptional scientific leader to build the experimental engine that trains, tests, and improves models that design medicines.
You will integrate molecular and cellular biology, functional genomics, screening, automation, and therapeutic development into a coherent experimental platform. Working closely with ML and translational biology experts, you will design and pioneer experiments to most effectively expand our models’ understanding of life and ability to design better medicines. This is a role for a scientific builder: someone who can identify transformative experimental opportunities, rapidly onboard and, where necessary, invent the required technologies, and assemble outstanding teams to turn ambitious ideas into scalable systems.
- Define experimental strategy to close gaps in model understanding and therapeutic design performance
- Design experiments specifically to train and evaluate generative and predictive models, in close collaboration with biologists and ML experts
- Generate high-quality, model-ready data using scalable methods such as functional genomics,...
