Machine Learning Research Scientist

About Valence Labs

Valence Labs is Recursion’s frontier AI research engine. We lead high-impact research programs designed to materially expand Recursion’s ability to discover and develop medicines for complex diseases. Our team balances near-term pragmatism with a long-term view of where the field is heading in the next 3–5 years, incubating, designing, and productizing the approaches we believe will define the future of drug discovery.

Our work is driven by optimism, purpose, and a shared vision for a healthier tomorrow. We publish in top journals and conferences, contribute to open science, and engage with some of the world’s most active ML-for-drug-discovery research communities. Our teams are based in London and Montreal, with deep ties to Mila, the world’s largest deep-learning research institute.
