PostEra (YC W20) Is Hiring AI Researchers for Drug Discovery


Role Overview In this role, you will develop the agentic research vertical at PostEra, using agentic systems to automate the development of mechanistic models for biochemical and physiological processes, and analyse biological data for target validation. You will interact closely with chemists and biologists to use these models to drive drug discovery decisions. You will also develop machine learning methods that can rapidly adapt to new drug discovery problems from limited labeled data. A particular focus is molecular and tabular in-context learning and building foundation models from PostEra’s proprietary multimodal data. You will build models that use the context of drug discovery effectively, determine which prior examples and tasks are relevant, quantify when transfer is helpful or harmful, and provide reliable predictions under distribution shift. You will help drive the full research loop: defining tasks, constructing datasets and evaluation episodes, developing strong baselin
