Owkin

Role Description We are looking for a visionary ML/AI Scientist to lead the development of our AI Scientist—an autonomous agentic system designed to navigate the complexities of drug discovery. This role isn't just about training models; it's about building "scientists in a box" that can reason over biological data, design experiments, and autonomously drive therapeutic breakthroughs. Unlike traditional ML roles that focus on single-task optimization, you will be building a meta-researcher. You’ll be at the heart of Owkin’s mission, creating the engine that will discover the next generation of life-saving therapeutics. - Architect Agentic Systems: - Design and implement sophisticated AI agents capable of multi-step reasoning, tool-use, and self-correction. - Bridge AI and Wet-Lab: - Develop frameworks where agents can propose hypotheses and design "optimal experiments" to be validated in the lab. - Scale the "Hacker" Approach: - Rapidly prototype and iterate on agentic architectures, moving from paper to production-grade code with speed and precision. - Scientific Leadership: - Maintain a watch on the frontier of GenAI and Agentic workflows, publishing high-impact research at the intersection of AI, Biology and Chemistry. Qualifications - Demonstrated Expertise in Agentic AI: - Deep understanding of LLM reasoning (Chain-of-Thought, ReAct), long-context management, and tool-augmented generation. - The Hacker Toolkit: - Expert-level Python skills with a focus on "building." You should be comfortable writing clean, modular code that interfaces with complex APIs and databases. - Publication Record: - History of contributions to top-tier ML conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR). - Technical Foundation: - PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or Applied Mathematics (or equivalent high-level industry experience). - Communication: - Ability to explain complex agent behaviors to both AI peers and biological experts. Excellent written and oral communication skills. Fluent in English (French is a plus). - Team first, highly collaborative mindset. Requirements - Preferred Qualifications (The "Big Plus"): - Computational Biology or Chemistry expertise. - Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of the "central dogma" data stack—from processing raw sequencing (omics) to interpreting the physics and geometry of macromolecular structures. - Closed-loop Discovery: Experience in Active Learning, Bayesian Optimization, or Optimal Experimental Design. - Systems Engineering: Experience training and deploying large-scale models or managing complex multi-agent orchestrations. - Causal Inference: Experience in understanding "response to treatment" or causal discovery in biological systems. - Industry Impact: Proven track record of taking a research concept and turning it into a functional tool used by other scientists. Benefits - Flexible work organization - Friendly and informal working environment - Opportunity to work with an international team with high technical and scientific backgrounds
