About the Role

Your work will change lives. Including your own. The Impact You’ll Make: Human biology stems from four billion years of evolution, which creates a proliferation of complexity and heterogeneity. The combinatorial explosion of biological hypotheses easily surpasses the number of atoms in the universe. Meanwhile, medical discovery advances at the snail pace of clinical trials, each taking years and costing over $100 million. As we enter the era of precision health and try to tailor treatments for each individual, continuing on today's discovery processes is clearly unsustainable. With the confluence of digital transformation and intelligence revolution, we have an unprecedented opportunity to develop a unifying biomedical world model by bridging virtual patient and virtual cell, and turning real-world data into a discovery engine to close the loop of clinical care and drug discovery. As a Principal AI Researcher, you will join our cross-functional team of top-notch scientists, engineers, and drug hunters in the quest of scalable biomedical discovery. You will work at the forefront of AI-powered drug discovery, advancing frontier research and end-to-end applications across discovery, design, and translation. The Team You’ll Join: Recursion is a pioneer in AI-native drug discovery. In the past decade, we have built an unparalleled array of infrastructures across drug discovery and clinical development, operating one of the largest AI compute clusters in biopharma, and spearheading
