Our recent acquisition by BioNTech has further solidified our commitment to leading the industry.
Join us to be a part of the AI revolution!
As BioNTech’s AI research organisation, InstaDeep is leading the AI revolution in biology, with breakthroughs like the Nucleotide Transformer [1], ProtBFN [2], and InstaNovo [3]. In the RNA group, we develop new fundamental and applied AI technologies for RNA science, the foundation of BioNTech’s work, which includes the first Covid vaccine [4] and the world’s leading personalised immunotherapy programme [5].
As an Applied Research Scientist in AI, you will take a lead role in addressing the most important challenges in RNA science. Working closely with biologists and engineers, you will develop new foundational and generative models, new methods of RNA optimisation and design, and ultimately identify new fundamental RNA biology. You will have access to one of the most powerful compute clusters, collaborate with world-leading experts to train models on unique proprietary data, and validate them in BioNTech’s high-throughput labs.
Your work in this role will directly influence life-saving therapies in cancer and other serious diseases. We are passionate about using science to help people and advance human knowledge. Our culture is highly collaborative and focuses on team success over individual achievement.
Role Responsibilities
Work on novel optimisation methods for discrete sequence spaces, integrating constraints from biology and wet-lab feedback.
Develop foundation and generative models for biological sequences using cutting-edge techniques (transformers, diffusion models, large-scale pretraining).
Address core ML challenges: heterogeneous data fusion, low-data generalisation, and multi-modal pretraining.
Train at scale on InstaDeep’s 0.5 exaflop H100 cluster with dedicated compute resources.
Collaborate with domain experts to validate models in real-world settings, design laboratory datasets, and iterate based on experimental results.
Keep abreast of emerging developments and share these with colleagues.
Contribute to novel therapeutic technologies and the advancement of RNA science.
Requirements
PhD or postdoctoral experience in artificial intelligence or a related field, or equivalent professional research experience.
Proven track record of high-quality research, as demonstrated by publications in leading journals or conferences.
Strong software engineering skills in Python and expertise in deep learning frameworks.
Excellent scientific communication skills, both written and verbal, with multidisciplinary technical and non-technical audiences.
Preference for working as part of a team towards a common goal.
Passion to advance research that contributes directly to treatments for serious diseases.
Beneficial
Research experience in AI for biology. Experience with RNA science is especially relevant.
Experience mentoring or leading research teams.
Experience in any of these areas would be advantageous:
We empower individuals to celebrate their uniqueness here at InstaDeep. Our team comes from all walks of life, and we’re proud to continue encouraging and supporting applicants from underrepresented groups across the globe. Our commitment to creating an authentic environment comes from our ability to learn and grow from our diversity, and how better to experience this than by joining our team? We operate on a hybrid work model with guidance to work at the office 3 days per week to encourage close collaboration and innovation. We are continuing to review the situation with the well-being of InstaDeepers at the forefront of our minds.
