The Generative Unconstrained Intelligent Drug Engineering (GUIDE) project has an opening for a Senior bioengineer who is responsible for the efficient, smooth, and effective management of a team and simulation- and machine-learning-driven computational pipeline to redesign antibodies. GUIDE is an exciting and fast-paced program combining predictive computational modeling, machine learning, and experimental biology to develop medical countermeasures for the Department of Defense (DoD). The ideal candidate will have a breadth of protein engineering experience to manage a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in machine learning, molecular simulation, optimization, and structural and protein biology. The candidate will apply in-house computational tools in rigorous campaigns to redesign specific antibodies so that they are more potent, broadly neutralizing and/or developable as a prophylactic or therapeutic antibodies.
The candidate will elicit highly technical information required to formulate antibody redesign goals; to facilitate the creation and joint understanding of these goals via a network of colleagues with differing technical expertise; to communicate and ensure ongoing consensus on these goals; and to continually guide alignment of effort to them. The candidate will manage all aspects of the computational redesign campaign, and, as such, requires deep technical expertise in protein and structural biology/bioegineering or machine learning and simulation tools, and a willingness to gain complementary expertise.
The candidate needs to be comfortable with a flexible technical approach, willing to re-compose existing tools and workflows to execute the job at hand, and to lead others toward the execution of the work.
The candidate must be team-oriented and have leadership experience and resilience to drive the work forward while maintaining a balanced view that serves the needs of the GUIDE program and its durable capabilities.
