Job description

Job Summary:
Genesis Molecular AI is pioneering foundation models for molecular AI to unlock a new era of drug design and development. They are seeking a ML & Molecular Simulation Scientist to develop and apply methods at the intersection of 3D molecular simulation and machine learning, contributing to impactful drug discovery programs.
Responsibilities:
• Build and apply ML models informed by 3D structural data, including geometric deep learning, equivariant neural networks, and diffusion-based generative models for molecular design and property prediction
• Integrate physics-based and ML + data-driven approaches, combining force field methods, quantum chemistry, and structure-based design with modern ML to improve accuracy and throughput
• Develop and apply simulation methods spanning molecular dynamics, enhanced sampling (metadynamics, replica exchange, umbrella sampling), and free energy calculations (FEP/TI) to support active drug discovery programs
• Contribute to the GEMS platform, improving our generative AI and scoring capabilities, focusing on 3D methods; strengthen ML and physics-based scoring functions (and their intersection), build next-gen force fields
• Work directly with CADD and discovery scientists to apply computational methods across the drug discovery pipeline, from target structure analysis through lead optimization
• Stay current with the field, implementing and adapting methods from the latest literature in geometric ML, biomolecular simulation, and computational drug design
• Communicate scientific results clearly to multidisciplinary teams, including experimental chemists and biologists
Qualifications:
Required:
• Practical experience with 3D machine learning – geometric deep learning, graph neural networks, equivariant architectures (e.g., SE(3)/E(3) networks), or diffusion models applied to molecular data
• PhD (preferred) in computer science, machine learning, chemical engineering, biophysics, physics, or a closely related field; postdoctoral or industry experience is a plus
• Deep, hands-on expertise in molecular simulation, including MD, enhanced sampling, and/or free energy methods using tools such as GROMACS, AMBER, OpenMM, or NAMD
• Familiarity with structure-based drug design workflows: docking, binding site analysis, protein-ligand interaction modeling using tools such as MOE, or PyMOL
• Proficiency in Python and scientific computing libraries (PyTorch, JAX, NumPy, MDAnalysis, RDKit); comfort with HPC environments and scripting for large-scale simulation workflows
• A track record of applying computational methods to real scientific problems, demonstrated through publications, open-source contributions, or industry impact
• Collaborative, curious, and able to move between rigorous method development and fast-paced discovery work
Preferred:
• Familiarity with cheminformatics and ADMET property prediction
• Contributions to open-source simulation or ML tooling
Company:
Genesis Therapeutics unifies AI and biotech to accelerate the discovery of new medicines. Founded in 2019, the company is headquartered in South San Francisco, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
