About the Role
Research Co-Founder
Periscopiclabs.com - Emergent Ventures backed biomedical research platform
You will own the scientific and ML core of Discovery Synth, architecting novel retrieval, reasoning, and knowledge representation systems for high-stakes biomedical research. This is a true co-founder role where you will design multi-source evidence synthesis frameworks that outperform manual processes, moving beyond simple API wrappers to build foundational infrastructure for scientific discovery.
Location: London, UK
Why this role is remarkable:
High-equity founding role with total ownership over the research agenda and technical roadmap from day zero.
Backed by Tyler Cowen's Emergent Ventures, tackling a massive market with a benchmarked product that completes months of manual work in hours.
Opportunity to publish novel frameworks in scientific NLP and evidence extraction while building a product with immediate clinical and pharmaceutical impact.
What you will do:
Architect production-grade retrieval-augmented generation and reasoning systems that handle heterogeneous data types across clinical and mechanistic domains.
Design and implement sophisticated knowledge representation systems and ontology mapping to treat scientific evidence as a first-class object.
Lead the technical strategy and evidence extraction pipelines, ensuring high accuracy against gold-standard published evidence for major pharmaceutical use cases.
The ideal candidate:
Proven track record of rigorous systems-level ML research with publications at top-tier venues like NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, or EMNLP.
Experience at a frontier AI lab such as DeepMind, OpenAI, or Anthropic, or a leading academic research group at institutions like Cambridge, Stanford, or UCL.
Strong engineering fundamentals with the ability to bridge the gap between theoretical research and building scalable, production-ready scientific discovery tools.
