Sr Associate, Agentic AI in Discovery Chemistry

Overview

Work on applying agentic AI to accelerate discovery chemistry, including molecular design workflows and scientific data interpretation.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with discovery, computational, data science, and automation teams to identify and implement agentic AI applications.
• Develop, test, and refine AI-enabled workflows for molecule ideation, intelligence, synthesis planning, and data interpretation.
• Organize and assess chemical, biological, and assay data to support reliable AI-enabled analysis and decisions.
• Evaluate AI-generated outputs for scientific validity, relevance, reproducibility, and practical value.
• Translate scientific questions and laboratory needs into structured workflows, prompts, evaluation approaches, and tools.
• Support adoption of agentic AI tools while maintaining data integrity, documentation, confidentiality, and scientific quality.
• Communicate results, workflow performance, and recommendations to cross-functional stakeholders.

What you'll need

• Master’s degree in Chemistry or a closely related scientific field.
• Strong understanding of small-molecule discovery and related chemistry areas.
• Experience working with scientific data including chemical structures, reaction data, assay data, or experimental results.
• Ability to analyze problems systematically and document work with scientific rigor.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional research environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to have

• Prior industry experience in pharmaceutical R&D, biotechnology, CROs, or chemical/discovery chemistry.
• Familiarity with AI/ML tools, large language models, and generative/agentic workflows.
• Experience with cheminformatics and chemical databases or molecular representations.
• Familiarity with tools/concepts such as SMILES, SDF, RDKit, reaction informatics, and cheminformatics/AI in chemistry.
• Experience assessing AI-generated recommendations against experimental evidence or scientific criteria.
• Ability to learn new technologies quickly and apply them to discovery chemistry problems.

Details

• Preferred experience listed as: Bachelor's with 5–9 years of experience.
