Your Impact at LILA As a ML Research Scientist - Multimodal Data Extraction , you will advance Lila’s vision of scientific superintelligence by developing foundation models that autonomously read, interpret, and structure scientific knowledge across text, images, and experimental data in the physical sciences. Your research will help unify the world’s scientific information into machine-understandable form, powering reasoning, prediction, and autonomous discovery across materials science and chemistry. What You'll Be Building Research and develop  AI systems  that extract and structure knowledge from diverse scientific sources. Design and fine-tune  large language, multi-modal and specialized models  for factual, interpretable data extraction. Build scalable pipelines for  unstructured and heterogeneous scientific data , integrating text, tables, and visuals. Collaborate with domain experts to align extracted data with real-world discovery workflows. Publish research that advances the state of the art in multimodal understanding and AI-driven knowledge extraction. What You’ll Need to Succeed PhD (or equivalent research experience) in Computer Science, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related field. Expertise in  machine learning ,  NLP , and  vision–language modeling  using  PyTorch  and  Hugging Face Transformers . Proven ability to train, fine-tune, and evaluate  LLMs and multimodal models  for scientific data extraction. Strong understanding of data structures and representations used in the physical sciences. Demonstrated research impact through publications, preprints, or open-source work (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL, EMNLP, Scientific Journals). Bonus Points For Experience with  multimodal fusion architectures  and document-level understanding. Knowledge of  scientific document parsing  (OCR, table extraction, figure-caption linking). Familiarity with  knowledge graph construction  or reasoning systems for science. Experience with noisy or heterogeneous real-world scientific data. Collaborative mindset and passion for advancing AI in the physical sciences.   Compensation We offer competitive base compensation with bonus potential and generous early-stage equity. Your final offer will reflect your background, expertise, and expected impact. U.S. Benefits. Full-time U.S. employees receive a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer-paid life and disability insurance; flexible time off with generous company wide holidays; paid parental leave; an educational assistance program; commuter benefits, including bike share memberships for office based employees; and a company subsidized lunch program. International Benefits. Full-time employees outside the U.S. receive a comprehensive benefits program tailored to their region. USD salary ranges apply only to U.S.-based positions; international salaries are set to local market. Expected Base Salary Range $176,000 — $304,000 USD About LILA Lila Sciences is building Scientific Superintelligence™ to solve humankind's greatest challenges. We believe science is the most inspiring frontier for AI. Rather than hard-coding expert knowledge into tools, LILA builds systems that can learn for themselves. LILA combines advanced AI models with proprietary AI Science Factory™ instruments into an operating system for science that executes the entire scientific method autonomously, accelerating discovery at unprecedented speed, scale, and impact across medicine, materials, and energy.
