FutureHouse is a non-profit AI research lab building an AI Scientist to automate research in biology and other complex sciences. We are seeking exceptional computational biologists who are interested to build systems that can automate the process of data-driven discovery.
We are interested in applicants with a range of levels of experience. Compensation will depend on seniority. If you are primarily interested in building AI systems to automate data analysis, you should apply to this role; if you are primarily interested in using those systems to make individual discoveries in biology, you should apply to the wet lab researcher role. You can also apply to both.
This position is full-time in-person in San Francisco.
Responsibilities
Candidates who join us in this role will work on building AI systems to automate biological discovery, including:
- Building benchmarks to evaluate the performance of AI agents on data-driven discovery tasks.
- Using reinforcement learning, in-context learning, and so on to improve the performance of AI agents on those benchmarks.
- Collaborating with wet lab researchers to make new discoveries that can be validated in the lab.
- Experience with computational biology research. We are especially interested in candidates with a range of experiences, for example including sequencing data, human genetic data or population data, imaging data, and so on.
- Candidates who also have significant experience with AI and machine learning or with software engineering will be strongly favored.
- Everyone who works here is extremely smart and mission driven.
- We are working on problems that are way more interesting than what you'll find anywhere else. Why sell ads or optimize buttons when you can solve science and make breakthrough discoveries in basic research?
- We have a ton of resources, including wet lab, compute, etc.
- We publish our work.
- Our headquarters in Dogpatch (SF) is super cool.
- Annual salary range: $100K - $500K
- 401(k) plan with company matching
- Great medical benefits at low or no cost to you
- Flexible time off
- Visa sponsorship and relocation stipend to bring you to SF, if possible
- The ability to join an ambitious start-up on the ground floor
- We are tight-knit and collaborative research culture.
- We are fiercely committed to a flat structure, team science, and individual contributions: we believe that the way to enable discoveries is to enable small, integrated teams of outstanding biologists and AI researchers to iterate rapidly towards ‘big-if-true’ ideas.
- We work to flexibly hire the best talent in the world and to enable that talent to pursue their best ideas without the normal distractions, like product engineering, grant writing, etc.
