Job description

Position Summary
The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Systems Pharmacology AI Research Center (SPARC), is in search of a Scientist II to join their team. This role is designed for an early-career researcher who recently completed (preferably within the last 10 years) a PhD in biomedical informatics, computing, data science, artificial intelligence, or a closely related field. The selected candidate will develop novel AI models and software systems that form essential components of SPARC's AI-accelerated drug discovery pipeline, conduct in silico computational research, and partner with experimental collaborators in a lab-in-the-loop mode with UAB, regional, and national groups. The Scientist II is expected to contribute meaningfully to obtaining AI drug discovery research funding as a Co-Investigator on grant proposals, to perform SPARC service activities not covered by existing external funding, and to author scientific manuscripts and progress reports. Active research areas include protein and antibody design, novel AI approaches to molecular dynamics simulations, agentic AI and autonomous systems for science, clinical trial simulations, virtual cell modeling, multi-modal drug discovery, retrosynthesis, and AI for science more broadly. SPARC offers a collaborative, computationally rich environment with GPU/HPC infrastructure, large biomedical data assets, and tight partnerships across the UAB School of Medicine. To fully appreciate the scope of this Scientist II position, it is essential to underscore SPARC's expectation that the incumbent will develop novel AI models and software systems that become essential components of the center's AI-accelerated drug discovery pipeline, perform genuine in silico research, and partner with experimental and clinical collaborators in a lab-in-the-loop mode with UAB, regional, and national groups. The Scientist II is also expected to contribute as a Co-Investigator to extramural grant proposals that obtain AI drug discovery research funding, to perform SPARC service work not covered by existing external funding, to author scientific manuscripts and progress reports, and to develop active research collaborations. Excellent office, programming, and written/verbal communication skills are essential.
General Responsibilities
  • To employ a broad knowledge of principles, practices and procedures in a particular field of specialization.
  • To plan, design and conduct research and present findings.

Key Duties & Responsibilities
  1. Develop Novel AI Models and Software Systems for the AI-Accelerated Drug Discovery Pipeline: Design, implement, benchmark, and ship novel AI/ML models and reusable software components that become essential building blocks of SPARC's AI-accelerated drug discovery pipeline spanning protein/antibody design, AI for molecular dynamics, virtual cell modeling, multi-modal drug discovery, retrosynthesis, agentic AI, and clinical trial simulation.
  2. Perform In Silico and Lab-in-the-Loop Research Studies: Conduct computational research studies and partner with experimental collaborators at UAB, regional, and national institutions in a lab-in-the-loop mode, iterating between AI predictions and wet-lab or clinical validation to accelerate scientific discovery.
  3. Obtain Research Funding as Co-Investigator on AI Drug Discovery Grants: Contribute substantively to extramural grant proposals (NIH, NSF, DOD, foundation, and industry) as a Co-Investigator, drafting aims, preliminary data, computational specifications, and budget components to secure AI drug discovery research funding for SPARC.
  4. Provide SPARC Center Service Not Covered by External Funding: Perform technical, infrastructure, and project-support service activities for SPARC initiatives that are not already covered by external funding, including shared codebases, model registries, GPU/HPC workflows, reproducibility tooling, and internal pilot studies.
  5. Author Scientific Manuscripts and Progress Reports: Draft and submit manuscripts to peer-reviewed venues; prepare progress reports for sponsors and internal SPARC leadership; contribute to grant-renewal documentation and conference presentations.
  6. Develop Active Research Collaborations Across UAB and Beyond: Initiate and sustain active research collaborations with UAB faculty, regional research institutions, and national academic and industry partners. Represent SPARC at scientific meetings and joint working sessions.
  7. Mentor and Train Junior Researchers: Mentor undergraduate students, graduate trainees, and post-doctoral fellows in modern AI methods, computational reproducibility, and scientific communication.
  8. Perform other duties as assigned.
