About Absci
Absci is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing novel therapeutics using generative AI. Our Integrated Drug Creation platform combines cutting-edge AI models with a synthetic biology data engine enabling the rapid design of innovative therapeutics that address challenging therapeutic targets.
Absci is a global company headquartered in Vancouver WA and maintains offices in New York City Switzerland and Serbia. Learn more at or follow us on LinkedIn (@absci) X (@Abscibio) and YouTube.
About the role
Absci is seeking AI Research Interns to join its team of experts advancing generative and predictive modeling at the intersection of machine learning and drug discovery. As an AI Research Intern you will develop AI models that generate and evaluate antibody therapeutic candidates. We are looking for exceptional contributors with backgrounds in deep learning protein design and engineering natural language processing computer vision and molecular dynamics to develop innovative approaches to creating and assessing therapeutic antibodies in silico.
Abscis computational teams (including its AI Scientists) develop and validate software platforms for antibody design and in silico assessment while its Wet Lab teams experimentally validate its AI platforms and its Drug Creation teams translate experimentally-validated AI designs into clinically-viable therapeutics.
The ideal AI Research Intern candidate will:
- Use their expertise to influence the AI teams research agenda while maintaining high levels of responsibility and accountability for their work
- Demonstrate their curiosity about the problems we are attempting to solve by developing proficiency in disciplines that fall outside their own areas of expertise;
- Invest in ensuring their work is accessible and interpretable to scientists with other domain expertise
- Care as much about solving the technical problems related to designing antibody therapeutics as they do about translating solutions to the clinic
- Be available to work full-time for a 12 week duration
Why Abscis AI team
Absci offers AI Scientists a unique opportunity to not only develop novel cutting edge machine learning models but also apply these models in real-time to generate candidate antibody particular:
- Absci provides its AI Scientists with access to industry-leading compute resources enabling large-scale experimentation for model training and deployment.
- Absci maintains its own Wet Lab enabling AI Scientists to validate novel modeling methods via both in silico and in vitro experimentation.
- Absci maintains and is growing its own internal pipeline of assets enabling AI Scientists to see their work directly translated into therapeutic impact for patients.
This position can be remote hybrid or on-site in New York City or Vancouver WA.
Key Responsibilities
- Support Abscis AI Research team in developing state-of-the-art deep learning models for structure-based antibody design antibody sequence design antibody-antigen co-folding antibody-antigen binding prediction and physics-based antibody design and evaluation
- Analyze in silico and in vitro validation results to iteratively improve design and evaluation methodologies
- Deliver and publish high-impact research that advances Abscis position as a thought leader in the field of AI antibody design
Qualifications
- Pursuing a degree in Machine Learning Computer Science Computational Biology Computational Chemistry Biophysics or a related field
- Research experience at the intersection of machine learning and protein design molecular modeling or a related field
- Fluency in Python and PyTorch
- Comfortable with design implementation and evaluation of state-of-the-art AI algorithms for protein design and protein structure prediction
- Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in an ambitious fast-paced interdisciplinary environment
- Demonstrated experience presenting complex technical work to diverse audiences
Abscis AI team does not accept and is not responsible for fees related to unsolicited agency resumes.
