Model Engineering
PhD Student, Model Engineering
Turn the latest biology models into runnable Biosimulant Hub labs. You will package AI/ML, ODE, stochastic, mechanistic, and standards-based models into reproducible workflows researchers can run, inspect, and extend.
RemotePart-time / flexible
What you will do
- Package AI/ML, mechanistic, ODE, stochastic, and standards-based biology models as runnable Biosimulant Hub labs.
- Build clear workflows around public and newly published models so researchers can reproduce, inspect, and adapt them.
- Write Python adapters, validation scripts, metadata, examples, and documentation that make each model usable beyond a one-off demo.
What you bring
- Current PhD student or recent PhD-track researcher in computational biology, genomics, systems biology, bioinformatics, ML for biology, pharmacometrics/QSP, synthetic biology, neuroscience, molecular modeling, or a related biotech field.
- Strong Python ability and comfort reading papers, model repositories, notebooks, and scientific code.
- Familiarity with biological modeling, ML systems, simulation workflows, or reproducible computational research.
Helpful background
- Experience with SBML, CellML, ONNX, PyTorch, JAX, SciPy, or workflow tooling.
- Taste for making complex scientific work understandable through examples, manifests, and runnable packages.
How to apply
Send a short note about your research area, links to code or papers if available, and one model or workflow you would want to make runnable in Biosimulant.
