About the job

Our Team:

Within Large Molecules Research (LMR) we utilize cutting-edge protein engineering technologies for the discovery and optimization of next-generation protein therapeutics. The team has an impressive track record of patents and publications in high-impact journals. You will be a part of our global AI Innovation team which is part of LMR’s Digital Biologics Platform (DBxP). As a global organization, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of computational and AI-based protein engineering to design innovative new medicines.

Main responsibilities:

  • Contribute to the evolution of our computational platform for Antibody/NANOBODY® de novo design.

  • Drive the development, training, and integration of novel deep and machine learning-based models for protein design & optimization.

  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary screening and engineering teams to define strategies for experimental validation of computationally designed variants.

  • Apply our computational workflows for protein design & optimization to design novel variants in the context of therapeutically relevant targets.

  • Depending on your skill set, prior experience, and interests, there are opportunities to focus your contribution on specific aspects of the overall workflow (e.g. development of foundational AI-based models, evolution of de novo design workflows, application of de novo design capabilities for therapeutic applications,…).

About you

Education and professional Experience

  • Ph. D. degree in the field of computational structural biology or computational life sciences (e.g. bioinformatics, computer science, biophysics, computational biology, data science (AI/ML) or life sciences with strong expertise in AI/ML & computational protein design).

  • Strong track record in methods for predicting biomolecular complexes (e.g. docking) and computational protein engineering.

  • Experience in the implementation and application of ML-based methods for generative protein design.

  • Strong publication track record in the field of ML-driven immunoglobulin/protein design.

Soft skills

  • Passion to collaborate with others, self-development with a focus on scientific know-how, and sharing knowledge.

  • Ability to work both independently and in cross-functional international teams.

Technical skills

  • Strong expertise in de novo design of protein (e.g. immunoglobulin-like scaffolds) and functionalization studies.

  • Deep understanding on the physical principles that govern protein folding and protein complex formation.

  • Deep expertise in AI/ML-based approaches for protein de novo design including application, training & fine-tuning of generative protein language models, diffusion- and flow matching approaches.

  • Knowledge of antibody/NANOBODY® structure, function & engineering.

  • Proven experience on developing and applying computational methods for the prediction of protein interactions (e.g. LightDock, HADDOCK).

  • Proficiency in Python and related libraries/software for de novo design (e.g. RFdiffusion, proteinMPNN, Rosetta, pyRosetta).

  • Ability to develop, benchmark and apply predictive algorithms for protein engineering.

  • Experience in handling, curating, and managing large biological data sets and data bases.

  • Expertise in developing and maintaining data pipelines and automated data workflows.

  • Comfortable working in cloud and high-performance computational environments.

Why choose us?

  • Bring the miracles of science to life alongside a supportive, future-focused team.
  • Discover endless opportunities to grow your talent and drive your career, whether it’s through a promotion or lateral move, at home or internationally.
  • Benefit from a well-thought-out benefits package that rewards your contribution and commitment.
  • Start your career at an attractive location in the center of Germany and experience our modern working environment and benefit from hybrid, flexible working time models.
