About the role
Topos Bio Topos Bio is developing computational methods to drug intrinsically disordered proteins.
We're seeking a research scientist to develop and optimize ML methods that bridge simulation, protein modeling, and small molecule design. This role requires both strong machine learning foundations and the ability to work at the interface of computational biology, structural modeling, and chemistry.
What you will do:
Develop generative models for protein conformational ensembles trained on simulation and experimental data Build novel ML architectures for ensemble-based affinity prediction and generative chemistry Adapt methods from research literature to disordered protein targets Design scalable training pipelines for high-throughput experimentation Collaborate with computational and experimental scientists to validate models against biophysical data
What we are looking for:
Strong foundation in machine learning theory and implementation Deep understanding of modern generative models with application to the sciences Background in computational sciences involving biology and chemistry PreferredMS or PhD in machine learning with application to computational science Strong publication record Experience with molecular simulation and protein modeling
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
