This role sits within our Data, Data Science & Artificial Intelligence team (DDSAI) and partners closely with our In Silico Discovery (ISD) organization - the group that builds the molecular design and property-prediction models (for example, developability, affinity and binding, and other molecular-property and liability-risk models) that guide which biologic molecules to design, make, and advance. ISD owns core molecular model development; you will build the data-facing ML capabilities (featurization, model-ready datasets, evaluation frameworks, and applied models on assay and sequence data) that make ISD's models faster to build and better to trust. This position will be based at one of our office locations in either Spring House, PA (strongly preferred), Titusville, NJ, or Raritan, NJ, USA; or Madrid, Spain. (No remote option.) Please note that this role is available across multiple countries and may be posted under different requisition numbers to comply with local requirements. While you are welcome to apply to any or all of the postings, we recommend focusing on the specific country(s) that align with your preferred location(s): USA - Requisition Number: R-095854 Spain - Requisition Number: R-096793   Why this role matters: Biologics Discovery is generating rich, fast-growing data across assays, sequences, and modalities, and the opportunity now is to make that data fully model-ready and seamlessly available for ML. This role ensures biologics data is structured for training, and that applied ML on discovery data helps scientists prioritize molecules, flag risks, and generate hypotheses earlier - strengthening the interface to ISD's models rather than duplicating them.

Summary You will design robust featurization and dataset curation, build and evaluate applied models on biologics assay, biophysical, and sequence/construct data, and define evaluation frameworks that keep models trustworthy. You operate at the interface between our data-generating and data-infrastructure partners and In Silico Discovery (ISD), ensuring the datasets and features you create strengthen ISD's molecular property models. This is an opportunity to shape how AI learns from every biologics experiment.
