Postdoctoral Fellow- Machine Learning, Prescient Design

The Machine Learning group within Prescient Design seeks exceptional postdoctoral fellows who have a demonstrated research background in machine learning, a passion for independent research and technical problem-solving in the life sciences, and a proven ability to develop and implement ideas from research. We are looking for researchers interested in developing deep generative modeling approaches for design problems, including proteins and small molecules.

The group provides a dynamic and challenging environment for cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research including access to heterogeneous data sources, close links to top academic institutions around the world, as well as internal Genentech Research and Early Development (gRED) partners and research units. Our mission is to develop and apply methods in designing novel macromolecules. Researchers will primarily focus on the deep learning subfield of machine learning but should be broadly interested in methods capable of effective representation learning that can help drive and sharpen the research questions we study. Fundamentally, our research goals allow us to collaborate closely with and–contribute uniquely to–many different project teams across the company.

Ensures the design, development, execution and implementation of scientific research and/or development in collaboration with a research team.  Investigates the feasibility of applying a wide variety of scientific principles and theories to potential inventions and products.  Maintains substantial knowledge of state-of-the-art principles and theories.  May contribute to scientific literature and conferences.
