## About the Role

* PhD (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, Computational Biology, or a related field.
 * You will leverage your advanced algorithm design skills to tackle complex challenges in digital twin technologies.
 * You will be part of a dynamic team driving discovery through cutting-edge data science, including the development and application of artificial intelligence, foundation models, and agentic AI systems.
Required skills

 * Background in algorithm development for multi-variate time-series data, including generative modeling, spatial-temporal and graph-based approaches (e.g., Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE)- or Neural Differential Equations (NDE)-based models), and time-series foundation models.
 * Hands-on experience applying these methods to heterogeneous data integration and forecasting using biomedical knowledge graphs.
 * Background in life sciences and/or mathematical modeling of biological systems, even minor, is highly encouraged.
 * Strong engineering skills in PyTorch/PyTorch Lightning for implementing custom architectures, paired with best practices in reproducible software development (Git workflows, testing, linting, documentation, CI/CD).
 * Familiarity with containerization and environment management tools (e.g., Docker, uv, Conda) and orchestration of large-scale ML experiments on cloud platforms.
 * Ability to work as part of an interdisciplinary team but also independently.
 * Strong problem-solving skills and scientific curiosity.
 * Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
Additional skills, good to have

 * Background in biology, computational biology or mathematical modeling of biological systems.
 * Exposure to agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph or equivalents).
 * Experience incorporating inductive biases and physics/biology-inspired constraints into models.
 * Familiarity with causal discovery/inference, active learning, and inverse design.
