at Harvard University seeks early-career researchers to help shape the future of AI as Postdoctoral AI Researchers. We are looking for candidates with deep expertise in modern AI/ML and a strong record of research accomplishment who are excited 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 scholarly achievement, 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 Postdoctoral AI Researchers will work closely 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, while continuing to grow as scholars within a collaborative academic environment. Candidates should be within 2 years of receiving their doctoral degree and will work under the direction of Kempner Institute faculty. Appointment Terms Postdoctoral AI Researchers conduct research under the general supervision of one or more Harvard faculty members. The appointment is for
