About the role

We're seeking an exceptional Research Scientist to join the team.
This role combines deep computational biology expertise with frontier AI capabilities, positioning Anthropic at the forefront of AI-driven scientific discovery.
As one of the first computational members of this Life Sciences research group, you'll work on a high-impact team that operates at the intersection of computational and experimental biology.

Build, run, and maintain the analysis pipelines that back the team's experimental programs: sequence analysis at petabyte scale, structural bioinformatics, phylogenetic and comparative genomics, design and analysis of high-throughput functional screens, biological sequence modeling, etc.
Partner directly with experimental biologists to design experiments that produce high-quality data, and turn results around fast enough to immediately inform the next experiment
Stand up and maintain the team's computational infrastructure: data ingestion, workflow orchestration, internal databases, and the interfaces that make all of it accessible to both researchers and AI agents
Use Claude and our internal agent frameworks heavily in your own work, and feed what you learn back to the model-improvement and product teams as evaluations, datasets, and concrete failure cases

Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Are results-oriented, with a bias towards flexibility and impact
Hands-on experience in experimental biology, or a track record of designing experiments side by side with experimentalists
Deep expertise in one or two areas of computational biology (for example structural biology, metagenomics, single-cell genomics, or protein design) on top of the required breadth

Have a PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, genomics, biophysics, machine learning, computer science, or a related quantitative or biological field, or equivalent industry research experience
Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

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.
Pick up analyses across projects as priorities shift; we're looking for breadth and flexibility over a single deep specialty

However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate.
But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We do sponsor visas!
