Work Period: January 2027 to June 2027. This is a full - time, 40 hours per week position with 5 days in office.
Flagship Pioneering Co-Op Program
Welcome to Flagship Pioneering Co-Op Program for the cohort dreaming big and taking courageous leaps. You'll join fellow peers across our ecosystem of companies and learning firsthand how we build first-in-category companies. You'll have access to enrichment sessions, a dedicated professional development track, and a mentor that help guide you toward your next step. By the end, you will carry on a meaningful project outcome, a genuine network, and a front-row view of how Flagship pioneer new ventures that change the world.
About the Role
Our Co-ops will work on cutting-edge problems at the intersection of machine learning, biology, and chemistry, helping advance our molecular design platform.
We use techniques such as
- Multimodal generative models: diffusion, flow matching, and language models (ex: for proteins)
- Data-driven biophysical modeling to link molecular structure and function.
Key Responsibilities
- Work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists to build models and deploy models
- Curate and organize data from multiple publicly and proprietary sources
- Experiment with diverse datasets and novel techniques
- Communicate your work to a multi-disciplinary audience
Basic Requirements
- Fluency in Python and experience implementing ML methods with standard tools and packages (e.g., PyTorch, JAX).
- Readiness to deep dive into the biology/physics/chemistry of the platform companies we build
Preferred Requirements
- Experience working with RDKit, BioPython, Rosetta, OpenMM, PySCF, etc
- Publications or experience in CS, ML, Computational Chemistry/Biology or a similar computational field.
- Experience with generative models, natural language processing, graphical neural networks, reinforcement learning, or similar.
- Familiarity with software development, including git and public cloud computing resources (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure).
What We Offer
- Build alongside founders. You'll work inside the same hypothesis-driven process Flagship uses to conceive and launch first-in-category companies.
- This can be the start of a longer story. Strong co-ops are considered for future opportunities across Flagship and its portfolio companies, not just for this one role.
- Work alongside people who left the safe path. Your colleagues are scientists, engineers, and operators who chose to build something new rather than join something already established.
- Take on real ownership. You're contributing to ventures that are still being defined. Your work can shape real decisions, not just support them.
- Be paid like the contributor you are. Compensation reflects the real work you take on.
- The pay range for this role is $25 - $35 per hour.
- This role is a short-term engagement that is not eligible for health and welfare benefits.
- Retirement benefits may be available after completing a set number of hours.
- Compensation and benefits information is based on Flagship Labs 117's good faith estimate as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future.
