Harmonize your Wet and Dry Lab. Backed by Lux.
About the role
We’re seeking an AI Biologist to join our Proteomics team, pushing what AI can achieve across proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- PhD in proteomics, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, or a related field
- Hands-on mass spectrometry experience with first-hand data analysis and a publication record
- Mass spec experience beyond proteomics alone: lipidomics or metabolomics strongly preferred
- Strong command of experimental design and statistics
- AI-ready from day one: daily use of Claude, Cursor, or similar agents, with the judgment to spot where model reasoning is technically correct but scientifically unsound
- Confidence to overrule an AI agent when the evidence demands it, and the openness to update when shown wrong
More about this role
Latch builds rigorous scientific benchmarks ( benchmarks.bio ) for AI agents across biology. We work with frontier labs and pharma to measure whether agents can handle real biological workflows: the messy, multi-layer reasoning that matters in the field.
We’re seeking an AI Biologist to join our Proteomics team, pushing what AI can achieve across proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics.
About the Role. You will be the scientific authority on ground truth, testing whether agents can reason like an expert mass spectrometrist. AI agents today struggle to interrogate raw mass spec data, separate real biological signal from artifacts of sample prep, instrument behavior, and processing, and reach conclusions an expert would stand behind. You will work with software engineers and scientists to build the tasks and datasets behind our proteomics benchmarks, and over time lipidomics and metabolomics. Your judgment will set the standard agent outputs are held to, including:
Define what expert reasoning looks like for a mass spec question, and write gold-standard answers with the rationale an experienced mass spectrometrist would defend
Design realistic scenarios across the workflow: sample...
