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 <li class="font-claude-response
