Your Impact at LILA Lila is building a platform where AI and automation co-evolve to solve the hardest problems in medicine. Within Life Science AI (LSAI), the Foundation Models team researches and develops large-scale generative models and reasoning frameworks that power automated scientific discovery across Lila's life science domains. We are seeking a Principal or Senior Principal Scientist to join this team as a core contributor.

You will define and drive research at the intersection of state-of-the-art machine learning and life science data, spanning biological sequences, molecular structures, and multimodal experimental data. As part of a dynamic team, you will design and implement foundational models end to end, from problem formulation and architecture through training at scale, evaluation, and integration into Lila's closed-loop discovery engine. This is a high-impact IC role for someone who operates at the frontier of generative AI applied to biology.

You will shape the technical agenda for foundation model research, collaborate closely with experimental scientists to close the computational-experimental loop, and represent Lila's work to the broader scientific community.
