About Workfully

Workfully is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing open-source AI/ML tools for infectious disease research in the Global South. Our mission is to provide free services to researchers working in resource-limited settings, primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Project Overview

This project focuses on developing AI/ML models for antimicrobial drug discovery. The postdoctoral researcher will lead the development of:

Key Objectives

  • Bioactivity prediction models for key pathogens of Global Health concern
  • Generative AI modeling to expand the known chemical space for anti-infectives

Deployment and Collaboration

Following Workfully's open-source mandate, all models and data from this project will be publicly available and deployed through a unified web application framework, designed to serve researchers globally, especially those with limited access to advanced computational resources. This position is supported by the Plan Generación Conocimiento 2024 from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.

Requirements and Responsibilities

We are seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in AI/ML, computational biology, or cheminformatics. Key qualifications include:

  • PhD qualification in a relevant field (AI/ML, computational biology, cheminformatics, bioinformatics, or related areas)
  • Strong programming skills (Python required) and experience with AI/ML frameworks
  • Familiarity with generative models or computational drug discovery is highly desirable
  • Experience working with large datasets, especially in chemical and biological domains
  • Passion for open-source science and solving global health challenges
  • Excellent command of the English language and good writing skills

Key Responsibilities

  • Integrating large public databases for chemistry and biology data
  • Developing and deploying AI/ML models for bioactivity prediction
  • Applying generative modeling techniques to design new antimicrobial compounds
  • Contributing to the maintenance of Workfully's software infrastructure
  • Writing scientific papers documenting the results
  • Collaborating with Workfully's network, engaging in events such as conferences and training workshops

What We Offer

An opportunity to work in a unique environment with academic orientation and startup mentality. A flexible framework for self-development and contribution to science and technology development for underserved communities. A collaborative environment with a dynamic team situated at our offices in Norrsken, Barcelona. The possibility to learn about essential skills for researchers like grant writing, fundraising, social media engagement, participation in large consortia, and development of training workshops.

Conditions

This is initially a 3-year full-time role starting in January, and candidates must be able to legally work in Spain. No visa sponsorship can be offered at this time.
