Job Description

About Us At EvolutionaryScale, our mission is to harness artificial intelligence to unlock the complexities of biology for the benefit of human health and society. Through open, safe, and responsible research, we push the boundaries of what AI can achieve in biological discovery. Over the next decade, we envision AI transforming the design of biological systems, enabling programmable molecules and cells. To realize this vision, we are building the foundation models that will empower this revolution. We prioritize individuals who demonstrate excellence and creativity in their fields, valuing innovative thinking over specific domain expertise. While expertise in both biology and AI is highly valued, it is not a requirement for joining our team. At EvolutionaryScale, we engage in both cutting-edge research and development in machine learning, creating the most advanced AI models for biology and life sciences. Achieving this requires collaboration between elite engineers and scientists, working together to solve significant research and product challenges. Our multidisciplinary team spans AI research, engineering, biology, and business, emphasizing strong communication and teamwork across roles. Job Summary We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist I-Protein Sciences to join our team to further support our AI-guided protein design efforts. The ideal candidate will have experience in protein engineering, molecular biology, and biochemistry, with a focus on protein expression, purification, and binding characterization. The ideal candidate will excel in a dynamic, forward-thinking environment, driven by a strong passion for research and the development of innovative workflows. They will play a key role in advancing protein design using artificial intelligence, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries in the field. This position offers opportunities to grow within a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment. Key Responsibilities Perform molecular biology techniques, including cloning and construct design, to support protein engineering projects. Conduct protein expression and purification in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. Characterize protein interactions and binding using biophysical techniques such as Biolayer Interferometry (BLI) or Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). Develop rapid and high-throughput selection or screening techniques to support AI/ML protein design and validation. Develop accurate and informative assays for biophysical characterization of AI-designed proteins. Coordinate experimental design and execution internally and externally with CROs.
