Develop ML/AI models that support discovery workflows, including target prioritization, multi‑omics integration, and mechanistic inference.
Apply modern ML approaches (e.g., deep learning, graph learning, foundation models, generative models) to chemical, biological, imaging, and assay datasets.
Build and optimize models for real‑world R&D use cases, ensuring scalability, interpretability, and scientific rigor.
Design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines that curate, standardize, and integrate diverse R&D datasets (chemical, biological, multi‑omics, imaging, biophysical, automation logs, etc.).
Partner with platform teams to implement best‑practice MLOps/DevOps workflows and deploy ML models into production R&D environments.
Develop tooling that accelerates dataset preparation, feature engineering, and model lifecycle management across TD.
Work hand‑in‑hand with TD scientists to understand key biological and chemical questions and shape computational strategy accordingly.
Translate sparse, heterogeneous experimental datasets into insights that guide decision‑making in hit discovery, mechanism studies, perturbation experiments, and compound optimization.
Participate in design, interpretation, and iterative refinement of discovery experiments.
Partner with cross-functional teams in R&D Data Science, IT, platform engineering, and therapeutic area groups to drive AI/ML adoption.
Contribute to evaluating new analytical methods, automation technologies, and data platforms supporting next‑generation discovery science.
Champion high standards for data quality, documentation, governance, and reproducibility.

Requirements
