About this role
Senior AI Scientist/Lead AI Scientist UK, United Kingdom, Paris, Germany About us Owkin is an AI company on a mission to solve the complexity of biology. It is building the first Biology Super Intelligence (BASI) by combining powerful biological large language models, multimodal patient data, and agentic software. At the heart of this system is Owkin K, an AI copilot and its new LLM fine-tuned on biology called Owkin Zero, used by researchers, clinicians, and drug developers to better understand biology, validate scientific hypotheses, and deliver better diagnostics and therapies faster. Please submit your CV in English About the role: We are looking for a visionary ML/AI Scientist to lead the development of our AI Scientist -an autonomous agentic system designed to navigate the complexities of drug discovery. This role isn't just about training models; it's about building "scientists in a box" that can reason over biological data, design experiments, and autonomously drive therapeutic breakthroughs. Unlike traditional ML roles that focus on single-task optimization, you will be building a meta-researcher . You'll be at the heart of Owkin's mission, creating the engine that will discover the next generation of life-saving therapeutics. In particular, you will: - Architect Agentic Systems: Design and implement sophisticated AI agents capable of multi-step reasoning, tool-use, and self-correction. - Bridge AI and Wet-Lab: Develop frameworks where agents can propose hypotheses and design "optimal experiments" to be validated in the lab. - Scale the "Hacker" Approach: Rapidly prototype and iterate on agentic architectures, moving from paper to
