ML Scientist, Nucleic Acid Design

Lila Sciences is seeking an ML Scientist to advance RNA and DNA sequence design by developing models and strategies for understanding and engineering nucleic acid sequences. You will work at the intersection of machine learning, sequence modeling, and experimental design to build next-generation models that improve how nucleic acid sequence-function data is generated, evaluated, and learned from.

• Build ML models for RNA and DNA sequence design
• Develop methods for de novo generation, sequence property prediction, and active learning
• Investigate biological mechanisms of designed sequences
• Partner with experimental scientists on assays and validation strategies
• Collaborate to integrate nucleic acid design models into platforms
• Stay current with research and share findings externally
