Young Investigator, Open Language Models for Biology

Persons in these roles are expected to work from our offices in Seattle. On-site requirements vary based on position and team. If you have questions about on-site work arrangements for this role, please ask your recruiter.

Compensation: $159,650.00

Who You Are:

Ai2 is seeking a Postdoctoral Young Investigator to work on CellOLMo, a collaboration between Ai2’s open language model researchers and scientists at the Allen Institute.

We are looking for a researcher who works at the intersection of machine learning and biology. You should have experience training or adapting transformer-based models and an interest in applying those methods to single-cell data. You may come from machine learning, computational biology, neuroscience, physics, or another quantitative field.

You will be expected to design careful experiments, work independently, and communicate with researchers from different disciplines. Because CellOLMo is an open-science project, you should also be committed to releasing code, data, and model weights for use by the broader research community.

Who We Are: 

CellOLMo is investigating how open language models can be used with single-cell brain data to answer biological questions. The project will initially focus on the SEA-AD Alzheimer’s disease atlas and will
