Job Summary

The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of British Columbia invites applications for a Machine Learning Engineer position at 100% FTE to join an interdisciplinary translational research program on pandemic preparedness, PROGENITER, led by Dr. Sriram Subramaniam. PROGENITER's mission is to bolster Canada's pandemic preparedness by providing ready-to-deploy protein therapies against viruses with high pandemic potential and ready-to-implement workflows for rapid response to future pandemics. Our research combines novel technologies for AI-enabled and structure guided antibody discovery combined with state-of-the-art capabilities for cryo-EM and biochemistry. More details about our program can be found at and at

We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and exceptional candidates with background in machine learning who will be responsible for developing and applying machine learning approaches to support PROGENITER's goals for structure-guided biologics design. This role involves developing innovative computational methods and evaluating/applying established methods towards the invention of novel medicines.

Applications should include a letter outlining the applicant's research, strengths and experiences relevant to the position requirements, a detailed curriculum vitae and the names of three references.

Candidates interested must apply via the UBC Careers website.

Organizational Status

The incumbent will report to the Principal Investigator, Dr. Sriram Subramaniam and work closely with PROGENITER team members, on a daily basis.

PROGENITER is a University of British Columbia-affiliated and nationally recognized multi-year research program to enable the rapid design, engineering, and production of antibody leads against present and future viral diseases to ensure that Canada is better prepared for the next pandemic. PROGENITER is a key component of Canada's Immuno-Engineering and Biomanufacturing Hub (CIEBH). Our interdisciplinary team of 15 researchers, 5 industry partners, 40-50 staff and students work together to discover, test and advance therapeutics targeting infectious diseases at an accelerated pace.

Work Performed

Reporting to Dr. Sriram Subramaniam, Principal Investigator and Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, the successful candidate will be expected to;

  • Develop, apply, and iteratively improve AI guided modeling techniques and scientific workflows to accelerate protein design and antibody optimization campaigns via design-make-test-analyze cycles

  • Explore use of deep learning models to improve antibody design

  • Develop unit testing and regression testing suite for codebase

  • Generate quarterly progress reports on project advances and present at weekly team meetings

  • Collaborate closely with PROGENITER team members working on experimental aspects of biologics design including cryo-EM structural analysis, biochemistry and neutralization mechanisms

  • Stay abreast of the latest advances in the machine learning field and adapt relevant concepts into internal scientific workflows, as needed.

  • Provide strategic guidance and advice on general aspects of implementing computational aspects of protein design approaches for PROGENITER

  • Serve as the primary contact for programming and code implementation needs in the program

  • Perform other duties as required.

Consequence of Error/Judgement
Failure to maintain a high standard of work with consistent communication between team members and the supervisors will result in delays and quality of research output, which may impact the working conditions, reputation, and funding for the research group and UBC.

Supervision Received
