Short summary

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc with proven research abilities and an excellent publication record who will lead the development of the generative AI-based framework.

Specifically in this project, we will explore the potential of generative artificial intelligence to aid the design of novel metabolic systems. You will be working closely with the experimentalist in the lab to build ‘design-build-test-learn’ pipeline through computational design and experimental validation.

About you

PhD (or in the final stages of PhD submission) in computational biology, evolutionary genomics, computer science, or a related field
Strong analytical, quantitative, and coding skills (particularly in Python)
Experience handling and analysing large-scale biological datasets
Track record of writing papers as evidenced by publications or submitted manuscripts in refereed journals
Experience with computational protein design (desirable)
Experience working with cloud/HPC environments, workflow orchestration or reproducible computational pipelines (desirable)

You will bring

Essential

Develop, apply, and iteratively refine protein/genomic language models to design novel protein variants informed by evolutionary and phenotypic data
Build computational pipelines linking sequence variation to predicted metabolic function
Establish a design-build-test-learn cycle in close collaboration with the experimentalist in the lab, who will test designed variants
Contribute to publications, conference presentations, and give strategic input into the wider direction of the lab's computational endeavours

About us

The Francis Crick Institute is Europe’s largest biomedical research institute under one roof. Our world-class scientists and staff collaborate on vital research to help prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases and neurodegenerative conditions.

The Crick is a place for collaboration, innovation and exploration across many disciplines. A space where the brightest minds can pursue big and bold ideas and discover answers to crucial scientific questions. We support them in a dynamic environment which fosters excellence with state-of-the-art infrastructure, cutting-edge facilities, and a creative and curious culture. We’ve removed traditional boundaries of departments, divisions and disciplines and instead have an open approach that supports every researcher. This gives us the freedom to take risks and carry out high-quality, pioneering research. Creating a space for discovery without boundaries helps us to turn our science into benefits for human health and the economy.
