## 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
