  • Proficiency in Python programming
  • Hands-on experience leading AI or computational biology projects
  • Ability to read and analyze research papers on AI-driven protein design
  • No restrictions on international travel


Preferred qualifications

  • Experience developing software for drug design and development (e.g., structure prediction, property prediction, QSAR)
  • Publication or development experience in related fields (physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmacy)
  • Relevant experience at pharmaceutical companies, startups, IT firms, or research institutions


Ideal candidate

  • A researcher who genuinely enjoys coding
  • Someone who approaches research proactively and logically
  • Capable of generating and implementing creative ideas around their research topics
  • Eager to build expertise in drug design and development
  • Passionate about contributing to AI-driven protein design and next-generation therapeutics
