• Analyze protein structure, function, and interactions to advance scientific understanding and support AI training initiatives.
• Investigate how proteins regulate essential biological processes such as metabolism, growth, and cellular communication.
• Evaluate the impact of drugs, small molecules, and other compounds on protein stability and functionality.
• Document and communicate complex experimental findings effectively for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to translate biochemical insights into AI training datasets and protocols.
• Maintain meticulous records of experimental methods, data, and results to ensure reproducibility and integrity.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related field.
• Proven expertise in protein science, including structure-function analysis and biochemical assay development.
• Strong foundation in both biology and chemistry, with a keen understanding of biomolecular interactions.
• Demonstrated ability to perform independent research and analyze complex biochemical data.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills for clear, concise information exchange.
• Proficient in documenting research processes and results for diverse audiences.
• Experience working in remote or distributed scientific teams is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline.
• Experience contributing to AI or computational biology projects.
• Knowledge of high-throughput biochemical screening or protein engineering techniques.
