About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the team Anthropic's Life Sciences team is building a world-class research group focused on making fundamental biological discoveries. The team combines cutting-edge AI with hands-on biological research, positioning Anthropic at the forefront of AI-accelerated scientific discovery. About the role We're seeking an exceptional Research Scientist to join the team. As a founding member of Life Sciences, you'll work in a high-impact group that operates at the intersection of computational and experimental biology. You'll help establish Anthropic as a leader in biology research while developing product intuition through direct engagement with the challenges and opportunities of laboratory science. Key responsibilities Design, execute, and iterate on the experimental programs at the core of the team's research: molecular biology, biochemistry, protein and nucleic acid characterization, high-throughput functional screens, and the assay development that makes new questions answerable Partner directly with computational biologists to design experiments that produce high-quality, analysis-ready data, and feed results back fast enough to immediately inform the next round of analysis Generate and prioritize hypotheses by combining your experimental judgment with the literature, curated biological knowledge bases, and the team's computational predictions Use Claude and our internal agent frameworks heavily in your own work — for experimental planning, protocol development, and data interpretation — and feed what you learn back to the model-improvement and product teams as evaluations, datasets, and concrete failure cases Minimum qualifications Have a Ph.D. in a biological science (molecular biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, computational biology) or a related field Have a track record of bridging biological domain knowledge with computational approaches to solve real scientific problems Have basic proficiency in Python and are familiar with ML development practices Preferred qualifications Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and developing solutions in rapidly evolving research environments Can work independently while maintaining strong collaboration with cross-functional teams Are results-oriented, with a bias towards flexibility and impact Thrive in a fast-paced research environment where you balance rigorous scientific standards with rapid iteration Published research or practical experience in scientific AI applications Familiarity with modern machine learning techniques and model training methodologies Familiarity with biological databases (UniProt, GenBank, PDB) and computational biology tools This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how AI transforms biological research. You'll work with some of the world's best AI researchers while tackling problems that matter deeply for human health and scientific understanding. If you're excited about using your expertise to make fundamental biological discoveries and guide the development of transformative AI systems, we want to hear from you.
