Description

Your Impact at Lila Join our physical sciences team to contribute to developing ML- and agent-driven infrastructure that enables Lila’s scientific superintelligence to autonomously construct, execute, and interpret complex physics simulations and apply these to real-world scientific problems in materials science and chemistry. You will work on projects involving one of these areas: enabling AI agents to reason over and orchestrate simulations, developing ML methods to accelerate atomistic simulations, and leveraging agentic simulations for applications in materials discovery. What You'll Be Building Contribute to projects involving one of these areas: AI agents for simulations, ML models for atomistic simulations, and in silico materials discovery. Develop methods and workflows for in silico materials discovery that connect physics-based simulations, generative models, and agentic AI systems. Build intelligent pipelines where AI agents can design, launch, interpret, and refine simulations autonomously. Design new methods to accelerate simulations with ML-based surrogate models. Collaborate with computational scientists, machine learning experts, and platform engineers to integrate in silico discovery pipelines into Lila’s broader scientific superintelligence ecosystem. What You’ll Need to Succeed Currently enrolled in an MS or PhD program in CS, Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field (exceptional BS candidates with research experience considered) Proficiency in Python, deep learning frameworks and end-to-end workflow deployment Evidence of applied ML research work in physical sciences including method development, model training and evaluation, and sound code practices Strong communication and presentation skills, capable of conveying technical information in a clear and thorough manner Eager to work with highly skilled and dynamic teams in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and technical setting Bonus Points For Prior experience and publications in one or more of these areas: ML interatomic potential development, LLMs for materials science and chemistry, Generative models for materials, High-throughput computational materials discovery Contributions to open-source simulation or ML infrastructure and software Familiarity with materials science simulation codes and workflow orchestration frameworks About Lila Lila Sciences is the world’s first scientific superintelligence platform and autonomous lab for life, chemistry, and materials science. We are pioneering a new age of boundless discovery by building the capabilities to apply AI to every aspect of the scientific method. We are introducing scientific superintelligence to solve humankind's greatest challenges, enabling scientists to bring forth solutions in human health, climate, and sustainability at a pace and scale never experienced before.
