    • Extensive experience with machine learning frameworks and libraries (e.g., JAX, PyTorch, Tensorflow).
    • Strong background in statistics, probabilistic modeling, and data analysis.
  • Domain Knowledge: Understanding of clinical trials, drug development, and biological data.
  • Soft Skills: Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
  • Publications: Strong publication record and experience contributing to research communities, including scientific journals and conferences like NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, etc.

Preferred

  • You have an extensive track record of delivering innovative solutions in machine learning, strong communication skills with the ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences as well as interfacing with scientific leadership.
  • You have practical experience in one or more of the following areas: reinforcement learning, geometric deep learning, representation learning, and generative learning.
  • You have a passion for solving complex technical problems and a commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest developments in machine learning.
