Bioinformatics Specialist - Protein Structure Prediction (AlphaFold / ESMFold) - Contract to Hire
We are looking for a Bioinformatics Specialist / Computational Biologist with deep expertise in AI-driven structural biology to assist with protein structure prediction and molecular modeling.
Project Scope:
The primary objective is to utilize AlphaFold (and/or similar state-of-the-art AI systems like ESMFold, RoseTTAFold) to predict, analyze, and model protein structures and molecular interactions relevant to our pipeline.
Key Responsibilities:
Run and configure AlphaFold/AlphaFold-Multimer pipelines for protein structure prediction.
Analyze and validate predicted models using pLDDT scores and PAE plots.
Perform molecular docking or interaction analysis between proteins and small molecules/ligands (if applicable).
Interpret computational data and translate it into actionable insights for chemistry/biology workflows.
Required Qualifications:
Proven experience working with AlphaFold, ESMFold, or Rosetta.
Strong background in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field (Ph.D. or Master’s preferred).
Proficiency in Python and handling biological data structures (PDB files, FASTA, etc.).
Experience with Linux environments, high-performance computing (HPC), or cloud-based GPU infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud).
Ability to deliver clean, documented code and reproducible workflows.
How to Apply:
Please briefly describe your experience with AlphaFold in your proposal. Include a summary of a past project where you successfully modeled protein structures or molecular interactions using AI.
