About the Role

The AI Accelerator aims to deepen the understanding of disease biology and increase the probability of discovering and developing innovative medicines by applying state-of-the-art AI capabilities. The AI Reasoning team focuses on causality and rationalizing model outputs to transform them into trusted scientific hypotheses.

Responsibilities

  • Translate strategy into a scientific roadmap, priorities, and success criteria for evidence-grounded AI, and drive delivery against them.
  • Strengthen AI-generated hypotheses by combining model findings with supporting and contradictory evidence, provenance, and biological context.
  • Lead the development of evaluation and benchmarking approaches, defining credibility and traceability of evidence.
  • Partner with computational biology and human genetics to ensure work meets disease-biology and target-evaluation needs.
  • Provide senior matrix leadership and scientific judgment to inform build, buy, and partner decisions.
  • Mentor scientists across teams and contribute to Accelerator-wide priorities.
  • Build external credibility in AI-assisted scientific reasoning and evidence synthesis.
  • Use state-of-the-art large language models, AI assistants and agents, curated knowledge bases and evidence-retrieval capabilities to explain and rationalize model outputs.
  • Provide the interpretability layer that builds trust in model-generated hypotheses.
  • Report to the Director, AI Reasoning, and sit on the AI Reasoning Leadership Team.
  • Contribute to AI Reasoning strategy.
  • Act as an experienced matrix leader who influences through multidisciplinary squads.
  • Set scientific standards and evaluation criteria.
  • Represent the domain in cross-organizational fora.
  • Serve as the AI Accelerator's senior scientific bridge to Computational Innovation’s portfolio-facing teams.

Requirements

  • PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Machine Learning, or a closely related field.
  • Industry experience in pharma, techbio, or AI-native drug discovery organizations.
  • Understanding of target identification, patient stratification, biomarker discovery, translational biology, and how scientific evidence informs portfolio decision-making.
  • Experience using modern AI tools for scientific work, such as large language models, scientific AI assistants and agents, retrieval-augmented reasoning, curated knowledge bases, ontologies, pathway resources, or biomedical knowledge graphs.
  • Track record of setting direction across teams without formal authority.
  • Mentoring senior AI scientists and shaping the priorities of adjacent teams.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to translate between AI and biology audiences.
  • Ability to represent the Accelerator credibly in senior scientific and business fora.
  • Sufficient understanding of AI model development to engage deeply with AI Scientists and Research Engineers on design and evaluation trade-offs.
  • Experience assessing build/buy/co-develop options for scientific AI capabilities.
  • Experience building scientific work packages with external partners.
  • Familiarity with regulatory expectations around AI-derived evidence in life sciences.
