Research Scientist

Logical Intelligence is building AI systems to accelerate materials discovery. The Research Scientist will develop and evaluate models that generate and screen molecular candidates, and collaborate with partner labs to design informative synthesis and testing experiments.

Responsibilities:

• Build and improve the AI systems behind our discovery loop, from candidate generation and screening to selecting which molecules to test next
• Develop energy-based models that combine learned representations with physical and chemical knowledge to search chemical space more efficiently
• Own model evaluation, including benchmarks on held-out chemical families, accuracy against both quantum-chemistry calculations and experiment, calibration of uncertainty estimates, prospective tests where the model predicts before the lab measures, and tracking across model versions
• Compare AI predictions with measurements, investigate disagreements, and turn what you learn into concrete model changes, in collaboration with AI researchers and engineers
• Design experiments with our partner labs so that each round of synthesis and testing is as informative as possible
