## About the role

AI in Residence is a highly selective role at the intersection of frontier machine learning and drug discovery. Designed as an industry alternative to a traditional postdoctoral position, the program is for exceptional researchers and engineers who want to apply advanced AI to real biomedical problems end to end, from data to deployed systems.

## What they're looking for

- Develop and advance ML models for biological, preclinical, and translational datasets (e.g., multimodal omics, imaging, text, assay data)
- Design and implement scalable pipelines for data curation, training, evaluation, and inference integrated into discovery workflows
- Own projects end-to-end: problem framing → prototyping → validation → deployment
- Evaluate robustness and reliability (generalization, uncertainty, failure modes), plus interpretability where it supports scientific decision-making
- Contribute technical leadership by proposing new directions, shaping platform capabilities, and raising engineering/research standards through collaboration
