Valence Labs is Recursion’s frontier AI research engine. We lead high-impact research programs designed to materially expand Recursion’s ability to discover and develop medicines for complex diseases.

About The Role

You will be joining a research program building multimodal foundation models to predict cellular responses to chemical and genetic perturbations across petabyte-scale omics and imaging data. The work spans generative and distributional modeling, representation learning for molecules and genes/proteins, and the design of biologically grounded evaluation frameworks. The goal is to close critical gaps in the pre‑clinical pipeline, replacing or augmenting wet‑lab perturbation screens with in silico predictions that are reliable enough to drive drug discovery decisions. We are seeking a Research Scientist with strong ML research and engineering skills, and genuine curiosity for biology, to join a multidisciplina...
