Key responsibilities include:

 * Develop Predictive Models for Drug Discovery
 * Independently Design and implement machine learning models to predict compound activity, selectivity, and developability.
 * Identify and Develop predictive frameworks for ADME/Tox, target engagement, and phenotypic screening outcomes.
 * Apply advanced modeling approaches including deep learning, graph neural networks, and ensemble methods.
 * Evaluate model performance and apply appropriate validation strategies.
 * Work with data engineers and ML engineers to integrate models into discovery pipelines.
 * Analyze Complex Scientific Data.
 * Perform exploratory data analysis on chemical, biological, and phenotypic datasets.
 * Integrate heterogeneous datasets including:
 * Chemical structure and screening data.
 * Structural biology and molecular simulation outputs.
 * Collaborate with Research Scientists.
 * Partner with medicinal chemists to support compound design and lead optimization.
 * Work with biologists to interpret experimental results and identify new target opportunities.
 * Translate scientific questions into computational modeling strategies.
