Team Culture

The AI4S team is built on the principles of ownership, accountability, continuous development, and collaboration. We hire for the long term, and we are motivated to make this a great place to work. Our leaders will be committed to your career and development from day one. We strongly encourage applications from people with diverse and underrepresented backgrounds and perspectives.

In this role you will 

• Design and implement AI/ML-driven solutions throughout the entire model development life cycle.

• Research and develop state‑of‑the‑art machine learning models and agentic systems to solve a variety of scientific tasks.

• Deliver robust, tested, and high-performance code in an agile environment.

• Liaise with experts in biology, medicine and experimentation to ensure optimal data collection and processing for machine learning models.

Why you?
