[SocBiN] AI Engineer / Bioinformatician – AI for Drug Discovery position in Montpellier

[Daniele Raimondi]

      AI Engineer / Bioinformatician – AI for Drug Discovery

Join the *AI for Genome Interpretation (AI4GI)*group at *IGMM-CNRS, 
Montpellier*, for a 13-month engineer position with the possibility of 
renewal for up to 3 additional years.

You will work at the intersection of *machine learning, bioinformatics, 
chemoinformatics and cancer biology*, in a collaboration between 
Raimondi and Hahne laboratories. The goal is to develop AI methods to 
predict drug responses in *treatment-resistant CMS4 colorectal 
cancer*and accelerate the discovery of new therapeutic molecules.

Your work will include:

  * Developing *novel PyTorch-based machine learning methods*for
    drug-response prediction.
  * Integrating *pharmacogenomic, molecular and phenotypic data*from
    resources such as GDSC, DepMap and CCLE.
  * Developing molecular representations using *chemoinformatics,
    molecular fingerprints and graph-based approaches*.
  * Building an *Active Learning, experiment-in-the-loop framework*that
    selects the most informative compounds for experimental validation.
  * Applying the resulting models to the *virtual screening of 78
    billion compounds*in the Enamine REAL chemical library.
  * Working closely with experimental cancer biologists to iteratively
    improve the computational models.

We are looking for someone with strong *Python and machine learning 
skills*, a solid understanding of *mathematics, statistics and deep 
learning*, and familiarity with scientific computing and Linux. 
Experience in *bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, pharmacogenomics, 
drug-response prediction, GNNs, Active Learning, uncertainty estimation 
or HPC/GPU computing*is a strong advantage.

This is an opportunity to develop *new AI methodologies with direct 
applications to drug discovery*, while working in a highly 
interdisciplinary and international research environment at IGMM-CNRS in 
Montpellier.

*Contract:*13 months, renewable up to 3 years
*Salary:* depending on experience, from around €2,521 gross/month
*Benefits:*44 days annual leave/RTT, remote-working support, 75% public 
transport reimbursement and mobility allowance up to €300
