University seeks early-career researchers to help shape the future of AI as Kempner AI Fellows. We are looking for candidates with strong foundations in modern AI/ML and the ambition to develop new AI approaches for high-impact problems in cellular and protein computational biology. This role focuses on applying modern AI/ML methods to protein and cellular biology, including protein structure prediction,
protein–protein and small-molecule–protein docking, cell state prediction from large-scale Perturb-seq datasets, and multimodal modeling of protein function and cellular state. We seek candidates with strong technical preparation in modern AI/ML, a demonstrated record of research accomplishment, and experience in computational biology or biological data analysis. Strong candidates may come from protein-focused,
cell-state-focused, or multimodal biological modeling backgrounds and will have expertise in one or more of the following areas: foundation model training, evaluation, and adaptation protein structure modeling and docking cell state prediction from large-scale perturbation datasets multimodal modeling for protein function and cellular state prediction familiarity with AlphaFold, RFDiffusion, CellCap, or related
models for protein and cellular biology AI Fellows will work closely with one another and with Kempner faculty, researchers, and students on foundational machine learning and biologically informed scientific applications. The position is particularly well-suited to candidates eager to apply their technical expertise in modern AI to important problems in protein biology, cellular systems, and biological intelligence.
Appointment Terms Fellows will conduct research under the direction of a Kempner Institute investigator. Fellows are appointed for a one-year term; reappointment may be possible for up to three consecutive years. Due to the importance of in-person mentoring, this position is based on campus, full-time, at Harvard University. Remote work for this position is not possible. Basic Qualifications Bachelor’s or master’s
