Join our team and help build the world's first biological reasoning model. Work with us to build generative foundational models that decode biological systems across scales — from molecules to organisms — enabling us to predict, understand, and program living systems in ways never before possible.
Output Biosciences is currently in stealth, operated by a team of repeat founders and biotech veterans with multiple exits in AI and biology, and backed by top VCs including Y Combinator.
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
- You will collaborate with our interdisciplinary team to tackle complex challenges in molecular biology and drug discovery
- You will present your research findings and contribute to publications in top-tier conferences and journals
- You will have the opportunity to work on projects that directly impact the future of medicine and biotechnology
