InstaDeep, founded in 2014, is a pioneering AI company at the forefront of innovation. With strategic offices in major cities worldwide, including London, Paris, Berlin, Tunis, Kigali, Cape Town, Boston, and San Francisco, InstaDeep collaborates with giants like Google DeepMind and prestigious educational institutions like MIT, Stanford, Oxford, UCL, and Imperial College London. We are a Google Cloud Partner and a select NVIDIA Elite Service Delivery Partner. We have been listed among notable players in AI, fast-growing companies, and Europe's 1000 fastest-growing companies in 2022 by Statista and the Financial Times. Our recent acquisition by BioNTech has further solidified our commitment to leading the industry.

Join us to be a part of the AI revolution!

We are seeking Research Interns to join our London-based Research Team, working on developing machine learning applications for the life sciences.  Generative foundation models like ESM-3 [1], AlphaFold [2], RFDiffusion [3], ProteinMPNN [4] are revolutionising computational biology and in silico drug design; and InstaDeep is leading the way in developing the next generation of technologies and applications (see as examples, Nucleotide Transformer [6] and ProtBFN [7]).  This requires pairing fundamental ML innovations with domain expertise in computational biology who are able to identify, develop and validate models to specific applications. 

In this role you will work closely with our Research Scientists and Research Engineers to help deliver on our ambitious goals.  You will be able to understand fundamental ML concepts and be excited to support the development and high-quality validation of novel generative models across key biological modalities.  You will be equally comfortable discussing new applications at the whiteboard as you are implementing the technical aspects of necessary data, modelling and validation to see these realised.
