Senior Applied Research Scientist

The application of modern AI techniques to drug discovery, is radically redefining the field. Genomics, proteomics, molecular dynamics, docking, and protein folding are just some of the areas that are affected. NVIDIA is building an outstanding team to invent the future of foundation models for life sciences. We are seeking senior research scientists and engineers to push the frontier of large-scale foundation models that natively speak the language of cells, biology, and chemistry. The ideal candidate has a strong background in the combination of modern machine learning techniques as applied to drug discovery, genomics, proteomics, or medical chemistry. This is a hands-on role for someone with deep technical expertise and a passion for advancing the state-of-the-art.

Designing and training large-scale machine learning models at the intersection of genomics, proteomics, and chemistry

Experimental design for probing the capabilities and limitations of the foundation models that are developed

Mentoring other team members, leading research initiatives, and helping to craft strategic roadmaps

Working closely with hardware and software teams to improve NVIDIA’s platforms for large-scale foundation model applications

Engaging with the broader research community via publications, presentations, and research collaborations
