About the role

Biohub's AI research team focuses on building frontier AI models for biology, integrating AI, biological data, and lab capabilities to accelerate discovery and advance human health.

Responsibilities

  • Design data representations and tokenization strategies for imaging data that enable novel model architectures
  • Coordinate Experimental, Data Science, Data Engineering and AI Research teams to translate biological structure into learnable representations—defining priorities and appropriate structures for metadata and data that information models can access and consume
  • Work across those teams to guide data acquisition priorities, define quality criteria, and assess external datasets from a representation perspective
  • Develop and validate approaches for combining heterogeneous data modalities into unified training frameworks, designing for robustness to noise, bias, and batch effects
  • Evaluate how representation choices impact model performance, identifying which biological signals are captured or lost and iterating to improve

Qualifications

  • PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, or a quantitative biological field
  • Experience with tokenization strategies for non-text data (images, sequences, graphs, time series)
  • Track record of novel methodological contributions (publications, open-source tools, or production systems)
  • Familiarity with biological foundation models (ESM, scGPT, or similar)
  • Deep understanding of imaging data, their underlying data characteristics, and how to transform raw data into ai-ready datasets.
  • Experience designing data representations or feature engineering for machine learning, ideally in scientific or biological contexts
  • Familiarity with modern ML architectures (transformers, diffusion models, or similar) and how data representation choices affect learning
  • Strong computational skills (Python, scientific computing libraries); comfort working with large-scale datasets
  • Creative, first-principles thinking about how to structure data for learning
