About the Role
This PhD-level co-op will join the Life Science AI team to contribute to applied ML research in protein engineering, including generative protein design, antibody engineering, developability, and wet-lab-informed model iteration. The role advances our domain-specific protein design models while the data, methods, and evaluation tools built along the way also strengthen our general AI research model, directly supporting Lila’s mission of combining automated data generation with scientific superintelligence.
Responsibilities
- Research generative and predictive models for protein and antibody design
- Analyze experimental datasets to evaluate model outputs and guide design decisions
- Prototype workflows linking model predictions, candidate prioritization, and wet-lab feedback
- Build datasets and benchmarks that support both domain-specific and general AI research models
- Share results through code, notebooks, and presentations
Requirements
- Currently enrolled PhD student in CS, ML, computational biology, bioengineering, biophysics, or a related field
- Research experience in machine learning, computational biology, or protein engineering
- Strong Python skills and experience with PyTorch, JAX, or similar frameworks
- Experience working with biological sequence, structure, or assay data
- Clear communication and comfort collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams
