When you join BMS, you are joining a diverse, high-achieving team united by a common mission.
The Informatics and Predictive Sciences (IPS) mission is to Pioneer, Partner and Predict to drive transformative insights for patient benefit. IPS conducts applied computational research in areas that include genomic, structural and molecular informatics, computational and systems biology, patient selection and translational biomarker research, and broader fields including knowledge science, epidemiology, and machine learning—across the full lifecycle of drug discovery and development and across all therapeutic areas at BMS. We do this in close partnership with scientific and clinical experts in the field, both inside and outside the company. We perform innovative science to empower key data-driven decisions across a rich pipeline of next-generation medicines. In doing so, our work transforms the lives of patients, as well as our own lives and careers.
We seek an enthusiastic and team-oriented machine learning scientist with expertise in small-molecule design and prediction to join our Predictive Sciences team. You will contribute to a thoughtful, exciting, and cross-functional effort to apply AI/ML towards the development of novel therapies. As a senior member, your impact will include producing innovative methods, establishing analysis workflows, and leading project teams.
Through this role, you will perform key research activities, including:
Improving predictive models by implementing active learning workflows in collaboration with high-throughput assay teams.Accelerating screening efforts through ML in collaboration with chemoinformaticians.Designing novel therapeutic compounds by leveraging generative approaches in collaboration with medicinal chemists.You will work as a valued member of a multidisciplinary team that is committed to leveraging computational analyses to optimize the rational design and experimental evaluation of promising drug candidates. This role offers unprecedented opportunity to impact, directly, the origination and delivery of transformational and life-changing therapies in key diseases of unmet medical need. We encourage inquiries from those with a strong background in AI/ML who also have a keen interest in innovation and interdisciplinary application of computational approaches to life sciences data.
Responsibilities: Deploy public and proprietary deep learning models to advance our ability to predict SAR and molecular interactions.Steer cross-functional collaborations to validate in silico findings and improve ML-informed discovery workflows.Develop machine learning approaches that supplement molecular dynamics methods to improve early screening efforts.Analyze chemistry, proteomics, transcriptomics, and other high-throughput assay data from internal, published, and partner sources.Communicate methods, results, and recommendations in multiple settings – including team and project meetings and seminars, and academic conference and journal publications.Contribute to planning and execution of projects with leading academic and commercial research groups worldwide.Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in computer science, chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, or a related field and 10+ years of academic/industry experience.OR Master's Degree in computer science, chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, or a related field and 8+ years of academic/industry experience.OR PhD in computer science, chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, or a related field and 7+ years of academic/industry experience.2+ years of leadership experience.Preferred Qualifications: Ph.D in computer science, chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, or a related field with 7+ years of relevant experience.Strong experience with contemporary deep learning methods; preferably with demonstrated applications of models in the areas of active learning, generative machine learning, graph neural networks, geometric deep learning, or large language modeling.Experience applying predictive approaches to biological and chemistry data to direct discovery or decision-making.Expertise in scientific programming languages (e.g., Python, R) and libraries (e.g., PyTorch, Tensorflow), cloud-based computing, and data manipulation.Demonstrated ability to propose relevant machine learning solutions for challenges in small-molecule discovery and development; and to execute on a sound scientific strategy that drives towards solutions.Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
