In our mission to stay ahead of the curve, we are proud to partner with firms such as BioNTech SE, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA and Intel, and world-class universities such as MIT, Oxford, UCL, and Imperial College London. We are also an NVIDIA Elite Service Delivery Partner and Google Cloud Partner.


Join us to be a part of the AI revolution!


InstaDeep is looking for Research Scientists to join our Research Team in London, working at the intersection of machine learning and life sciences. Our in-house Research Team aims to build foundational expertise and develop the next-generation of ML-driven technologies for life science applications; for example, generative models for protein sequence and structure, and model-guided experimental design and more.


As a Research Scientist, you will be responsible for implementing and developing novel algorithms, as well as identifying and investigating promising research ideas in the field of multi-round experimental design, active learning, Bayesian optimization, model-based reinforcement learning, large language models, representation learning and uncertainty quantification, to relevant challenges in biological sequence design.


You will leverage your expertise to help shape and deliver our research agenda, enabling us to stay ahead of the curve in this exciting field.


Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement novel research on Bayesian experimental design for multi-round optimisation of biological sequences.
  • Contribute to team research and publish results at leading journal and conference venues.
  • Suggest and engage in collaborations to meet Research Team goals. This includes both external partners and fostering internal knowledge sharing and collaboration with our applied BioAI department and our strategic partners.
  • Report and present experimental results and research findings, both internally and externally, verbally and in writing.
  • Upon request, collaborate with other groups’ activities, including but not limited to presenting the company to new prospective clients, participating in calls and meetings, and representing InstaDeep at conferences/events.


Required Skills

  • PhD in Computational Biology, Machine Learning or a related scientific field.
  • Theoretical and practical knowledge of deep learning, LLMs, Bayesian optimization, non-parametrics, model-based RL/planning.
  • Experience of at least one deep learning framework such as JAX, PyTorch and/or Tensorflow.
  • A demonstrated ability to successfully deliver high-quality research, for example through the publication of scientific papers in journals or conferences.
  • Excellent communication skills and collaborative spirit.
  • Software development skills in Python.


Desirables

  • Experience with any of the following biological topics would be a plus. a) Experience working with large biological datasets, databases (PDB, Uniprot, etc.) and their API technologies. b) Protein language models c) Drug discovery and protein engineering
  • Experience with any of the following machine learning topics would be a plus. a) Bayesian experimental design, active learning, Bayesian optimization, model-based reinforcement learning, b) Large Language Models c) Generative models
