Senior Research Scientist, Machine Learning (BioFM)AI & Data · Toronto, Ontario · Full-time · Senior levelThe role is about designing recent deep learning architectures and pre-training methods for models that learn from genome and other -omics data at large scale. A strong candidate has deep machine learning research skill, a solid grasp of genome biology, and the independence to set direction instead of just applying standard tools. The posting mentions both Senior and Staff levels, so scope may vary with experience.How it fits the AI eraBiological foundation models are a direct example of AI changing how medicines are found, since they can learn patterns in genetic data that manual methods struggle to see. Much of the model building and experimentation is becoming more automated and faster. What stays human is choosing which biological questions matter, judging whether a result is meaningful,



and tying model output back to real drug discovery decisions.How it builds AI experienceThe work itself gives hands-on experience building large pre-trained models on RNA and genome data, which is a rare and valuable area. To get ready, someone could train or fine-tune sequence models on public genomics datasets and write up what the models do and do not learn. Working alongside bioinformatics and drug development colleagues would also build skill in turning model results into practical decisions.Worth showingGenomics or -omics data modelingPublished research or open projectsLinking ML results to biologyThis is our own read, written from the employer's posting and the company's Spotlight.
