Scientist, Computational Protein Design

Adimab

Mountain View, CA • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 13 days ago


Job description

Job Summary:
Adimab is the leading technology provider for therapeutic antibody drug discovery, focusing solely on partnerships without pursuing an internal product pipeline. The Scientist, Computational Protein Design will lead protein design campaigns, collaborating with wet-lab teams and utilizing modern AI methods to enhance the design-build-test cycle.
Responsibilities:
• Take end-to-end ownership of computational protein design campaigns — from design generation through wet-lab collaboration, analysis of experimental data, and optimization of the design-build-test cycle. Applications span de novo epitope-targeted IgG, VHH, and minibinder design, as well as protein solubilization and stabilization.
• Partner with wet-lab teams to design experiments that generate custom training data for affinity, epitope, and specificity prediction models. Train and rigorously benchmark resulting models against internal and external baselines.
• Build and maintain the computational infrastructure supporting both protein design campaigns and model development, including reproducible pipelines and integration of computational outputs with wet-lab data.
• Track developments in computational protein design and ML; evaluate relevance to Adimab's platform and identify opportunities for integration.
• Serve as a resource for wet-lab scientists on AI/ML capabilities and best practices, helping antibody and protein engineering teams apply computational design methods.
Qualifications:
Required:
• PhD in Biophysics, Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Computational Biology, or a related field.
• 2–4 years of post-PhD experience specifically in computational protein or binder design.
• Strong foundation in the analysis of structural and energetic factors driving protein-protein interactions.
• Proficiency with structure prediction and generative design tools such as RFAntibody, BindCraft, and Protenix.
• Strong Python skills and experience building reproducible analysis and modeling pipelines.
• Proven track record of publication or patent contribution in applied ML for proteins or computational design.
Preferred:
• Crystallography or cryo-EM experience is a plus.
Company:
Adimab is an antibody discovery and optimization platform, developing full-length human Immunoglobulin Gs. Founded in 2007, the company is headquartered in Lebanon, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
