Overview Leading biotechnology organization focused on cancer therapeutics is seeking a Computational Biology Scientist, Antibody Engineering to support next-generation antibody discovery. This is a highly impactful, first-of-its-kind role within the organization, working at the intersection of structural biology, computational modeling, and AI-enabled protein engineering.

Responsibilities

Develop and apply computational methods to engineer monoclonal and bispecific antibodies (90% computational/10% bench work)

Integrate deep-learning and physics-based models for protein structure prediction and developability assessment

Analyze structural biology and NGS datasets to guide antibody library design and optimization

Build and maintain Python-based bioinformatics and machine learning workflows for data processing and modeling

Collaborate closely with experimental scientists to translate computational insights into actionable design decisions

Perform limited bench-based molecular biology work, including cloning and experimental support (up to 10%)

Requirements

Ph.D. in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Protein Sciences, Computational Biology, Bioengineering, Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related field with 0–3 years postdoctoral experience OR Master’s degree with 5+ years of relevant industry experience

Strong background in structural biology, including peer-reviewed publications

Hands-on experience with protein modeling and structure prediction tools such as AlphaFold, RosettaFold, Schrödinger, MOE, or RFdiffusion

Advanced Python programming skills for data analysis, automation, and ML workflow integration

Experience with NGS data analysis and bioinformatics pipelines

Familiarity with AI/ML approaches in protein engineering preferred but not required if structural biology and Python expertise are strong

Ability to work effectively in highly collaborative, interdisciplinary research teams
