Job description

Dive into the future of healthcare, where you’ll play a crucial role in revolutionizing genomic medicine with AI and leave a lasting impact for generations to come.

WhiteLab Genomics was founded with the belief that life-saving drugs should be accessible to all patients in need. United in our vision, we’ve become a part of Y Combinator, French Tech 2030, Future 40 by Station F, and we’ve been recognized by The Galien Foundation (”Best Startup” category), among other institutions at the forefront of technology. Today, we strive to become the leading expert in A.I. for genomic medicine, operating as the go-to partner for research and development.

Our Structural Biology Team elucidates intricate molecular structures essential for genomic therapies, providing valuable insights into target identification, protein-ligand interactions, and structural optimization. Using cutting-edge techniques and computational methods, we investigate the three-dimensional structures of biological molecules.

In this dynamic role, you’ll design and execute modelization tasks for WhiteLab Genomics’ projects. Your contributions will be pivotal to advancing our cell and gene therapy platform, and your day-to-day tasks will molecular modeling, protein design, and cutting-edge machine learning and deep learning algorithms applied to structural biology. This is a hybrid role and you will be required to be on-site in Paris weekly, with remote days available as well.

Our Core Values:

We Believe that Care is Everything.

We Value our Collective Potential

We Cultivate Proactive Communication, Clarity and Respect

We Have a Can-Do Attitude

We Strive for Excellence
