Through collaboration and innovation, we strive to improve health outcomes for patients around the world. Within DDSAI, our teams develop innovative AI/ML solutions that accelerate the discovery and development of next-generation therapeutics. We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative Postdoctoral Scientist to work at the intersection of advanced AI/ML and drug discovery. The role focuses on advancing foundation models, deep generative models, and representation learning approaches for biological sequences and related modalities, while establishing lab-in-the-loop workflows that tightly integrate AI-guided design with experimental validation. By leveraging large-scale and complex biological datasets, the candidate will generate novel scientific insights, develop predictive and optimization frameworks, and contribute to impactful applications across the drug discovery pipeline. A successful candidate should demonstrate strong expertise in modern AI/ML methods, a proven ability to develop and rigorously evaluate new methodologies, and a track record of publishing research in leading AI/ML conferences and peer-reviewed journals. Key Responsibilities - Conceive, develop, and validate innovative AI/ML approaches to address challenging problems in drug discovery and design. - Design and implement foundation models, deep generative models, and representation learning approaches for biological sequences and related biological modalities. - Establish and execute lab-in-the-loop workflows that integrate AI-driven design with wet-lab experimentation, accelerating iterative optimization and biological validation. - Analyse and interpret large-scale, complex biological datasets to generate novel scientific insights and hypotheses. - Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across computational biology, machine learning, and experimental sciences to translate methodological advances into impactful drug discovery applications. - Clearly communicate complex technical methodologies and present findings to diverse audiences and stakeholders to support informed decision-making. - Follow standard processes for documentation and maintaining an up-to-date code repository. - Draft manuscripts and disseminate research findings internally and externally (e.g., publishing in top ML conferences). Qualifications - Ph.D.* in Computer Science, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative major. (*PhD completed within the last 3 years or to be completed within the next 6 months.) - Strong technical expertise in AI/ML, with demonstrated excellence in one or more areas, such as sequence modeling, geometric deep learning, deep generative model (e.g., diffusion and flow matching), and foundation model, supported by a strong publication record in leading AI/ML conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR). - Solid working knowledge of deep-learning architectures and techniques (e.g., transformers, graph neural networks, geometric deep learning, etc.). - Experience in developing foundation models and/or generative models of biological sequences in related applications, such as representation learning, property prediction, and optimization, is a plus. - Proficiency with one or more programming languages, preferably Python, and proficiency in one or more AI frameworks such as PyTorch. - Strong communication skills, with the ability to present analytical results on behalf of the project team in a multi-functional setting, contextualizing how the work fits within the broader project. - This position will be based at any of the following locations: Beerse, Belgium; Madrid, Spain; Cambridge, MA; Spring House, PA.
