Job Title: Research Co-Founder

Company Description: Periscopiclabs.com - Emergent Ventures backed biomedical research platform

Job Description:

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.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
