Bindwell
Overview
We\'re looking for an exceptional scientist to help build the future of pesticide R&D. You will help design a pesticide discovery pipeline centered around machine learning, designing automatable, fast and easy assays that generate data conducive to ML model training. You will help ensure the safety and efficacy of the molecules we produce. You\'ll lead efforts in finding new molecular targets and leading the development of entirely new pesticides. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role for someone who\'s fast and wants to build the next generation of pesticides. Base pay range
$100,000.00/yr - $160,000.00/yr Location
San Francisco, CA Responsibilities
Design and carry out various pesticide efficacy and safety assays. Identify and validate new molecular targets and modes of action. Manage external lab work, CROs, and vendor coordination. Run internal ML models, MD simulations, and docking for in-silico screens and benchmarking. Assess resistance risk of new pesticides. Guide all biological aspects of developing current and future pesticides. Required Qualifications
Expertise designing & executing various toxicity, efficacy, and biochemical assays in a laboratory setting. Solid foundation in mathematics, statistics, software engineering principles, and data science. Extremely strong foundation in biochemistry, systems biology, and proteins, with deep intuitive understanding of biological mechanisms and interactions. Intellectually flexible and able to thrive and learn in an ambiguous, fast-moving startup environment with high ownership and low oversight. Nice to Have
Experience with animal safety models (e.g., bee cell lines). Experience with resistance-risk assessment. Experience using molecular dynamics (GROMACS, FairChem\'s UMA, etc) and docking (AutoDock Vina, etc) tools. Experience writing python code and using data science tools (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, etc). Experience managing CROs and vendors. Knowledge of toxicology datasets and ML-based toxicity modeling approaches. Understanding of ML fundamentals including neural networks, language models, latent spaces. Experience with biochemical assay techniques like BLI, SPR, and enzyme inhibition. Seniority level
