About the role
We're seeking an AI Biologist to join our Structural Biology team, pushing what AI can achieve in interpreting macromolecular structure. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- PhD in structural biology, biophysics, biochemistry, or a related field
- Hands-on structural experience: you have built and validated models yourself, and you know what a good and a bad map, model and fit look like
- Deep expertise in at least one area (X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, NMR/solution methods, or computational structural biology) and working fluency across the others
- Coding for structural data: you can compute contacts, superpositions, symmetry mates, map values and geometry from files without a GUI
- 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.

About the Role . You will be the scientific authority on ground truth, testing whether agents can reason like an expert structural biologist. AI agents today read a deposited model as fact. They miss that a ligand sits in empty density, that the two chains in a crystal file are a packing contact rather than the biological dimer, that a confident AlphaFold prediction shows the wrong conformational state, or that a stretch of chain is built out of register. Separating what the data actually support from what the model asserts is the core of the job. Knowing where the evidence ends, and when a structure cannot support a claim, is part of the work.
The role is intentionally broad, spanning molecular systems, experimental and computational methods, and questions from structure determination to...
