Output Biosciences is pioneering Biologically-Aware Generative AI to finally understand complex biological systems. We are building Large Biological Models that can generate breakthrough medicines and transform the way we diagnose, treat and prevent disease. Output was founded by Adi Mashiach, MD and Mirella Mashiach. Adi is third time founder of AI-driven biotech startups (first was acquired, second is on Nasdaq), a former physician and researcher in computational systems biology focused on nonlinear dynamics; Mirella is a former big pharma exec and biotech investor.

Join us in creating biological reasoning and building foundational models for systems biology, harnessing generative AI to revolutionize our understanding and programming of biology from molecules to organisms. As a Research Intern in Machine Learning, you'll work alongside members of our research team and our founders to develop AI systems capable of complex biological reasoning across multiple scales.

Our internships offer flexible commitment, with a minimum of 20 hours per week, ranging 12 to 24 weeks. We have various start dates available to accommodate your academic schedule. There may be opportunities for full-time employment upon successful completion of your PhD.

• You will contribute to the development of novel machine learning approaches for biological data analysis and interpretation
• You will design and implement experiments to evaluate and improve AI models using large-scale biological datasets
