Computational Protein Design Expert

About the role

Evaluate AI-generated protein designs for structural quality and biological relevance. We are seeking experienced Computational Protein Design experts to explore and evaluate advanced generative AI approaches for protein engineering as part of a frontier AI scientific evaluation initiative. In this role, you will develop challenging scientific evaluation tasks involving de novo protein generation, diffusion-based structure design, protein binder development, and sequence–structure optimization.

Experience

Ph.D. (ongoing or completed) in Computational Biology, Structural Biology, Bioinformatics, Biochemistry, Protein Engineering, or a closely related discipline. Hands-on experience in at least one major area: computational protein design, protein structure prediction, molecular modeling, or protein engineering. Strong understanding of protein folding, protein structure–function relationships, molecular interactions, and sequence–structure optimization. Practical familiarity with computational protein design and structural analysis tools such as RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, AlphaFold, Rosetta, PyMOL, or ChimeraX.
