Research Scientist (Biological Models), Chem-Bio
This role involves conducting empirical research into the capabilities of specialised biological AI models, particularly in protein design and genomics, to assess their potential for misuse. The researcher will design experiments to evaluate in-silico predictions against real-world biological outcomes, test the effectiveness of technical safeguards, and translate findings into actionable insights for government and policy stakeholders. Work spans machine learning, computational biology, and biosecurity, requiring close collaboration with wet-lab scientists, AI developers, and security experts.
