Data Scientist, RNA Biology

Atomic AI is pioneering new frontiers in drug discovery through artificial intelligence. As a full-time Data Scientist on the Machine Learning team, you will apply and advance technology for RNA structure prediction and early-stage drug discovery, collaborating closely with scientists and engineers to curate datasets and improve ML models.

Responsibilities:

• Provide RNA biology and RNA structure expertise on the ML team
• Enable and apply our RNA-structure platform to prioritize RNA targets for small-molecule therapies and advance structure-based drug discovery
• Generate insights from datasets on RNA structures and small molecule interactions (e.g. chemical probing, RNA-SM screens) by conducting statistical analyses, interpreting biological noise, and applying RNA domain expertise
• Curate RNA datasets for training of ML models, help evaluate model performance, and provide directions for improvement
• Inform scientific questions and ML model development in early-stage RNA drug discovery
• Collaborate with the internal wetlab team and shape the design of experimental assays on RNA structure and RNA-SM interactions
