Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Head of Machine Learning Research will define and deliver the technical roadmap for ML-enabled molecular design across the drug discovery portfolio. This role involves leading a team of 25 scientists and engineers to integrate predictive and generative models into live discovery programs.
Candidates must hold a PhD in a relevant scientific or computational field with deep expertise in modern machine learning and molecular science. A proven track record of delivering production-grade models and leading technical teams is required.
At Bayer we’re visionaries, driven to solve the world’s toughest challenges and striving for a world where 'Health for all Hunger for none’ is no longer a dream, but a real possibility. We’re doing it with energy, curiosity and sheer dedication, always learning from unique perspectives of those around us, expanding our thinking, growing our capabilities and redefining ‘impossible’. There are so many reasons to join us. If you’re hungry to build a varied and meaningful career in a community of brilliant and diverse minds to make a real difference, there’s only one choice.
Head of Machine Learning Research
We are seeking a scientific and technical leader to advance machine learning–enabled molecular design across our drug discovery portfolio. As a member of the Data Science & AI leadership team, you will define and deliver the models, platforms, and ways of working that shorten design–make–test–analyze cycles and improve the quality of molecules progressing toward nomination.
This is a hands-on strategic leadership role—neither research-only nor delivery-only. You will set a multi-year technical roadmap, build and lead a team of approximately 25 scientists and engineers, and ensure that machine learning capabilities translate into better project decisions and faster progression to candidate selection.
You will lead the development and application of modern machine learning methods—including deep learning, neural networks, ensemble methods, natural language processing, and machine perception—to complex, high-dimensional scientific data. Your team will develop predictive and generative models that help discovery scientists understand biological and chemical patterns, prioritize experiments, optimize molecular properties, and design novel molecules.
Success in this role requires deep fluency in contemporary machine learning, combined with a practical understanding of the realities of medicinal chemistry, structural biology, and drug discovery. You will spend as much time engaging in project-team reviews and scientific decision-making as you do shaping model architectures, platform strategy, and technical standards
YOUR TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The primary responsibilities of this role, Head of Machine Learning Research, are to:
Strategy and Technical Direction
Delivery into Discovery Projects
Platform and Data Foundation
Leadership and Organization
