ML Scientist - Materials Performance Modeling

Lila Sciences is building a scientific superintelligence platform and autonomous lab to accelerate discovery in life, chemistry, and materials science. They are seeking a Machine Learning Scientist focused on materials performance modeling to develop robust, data-efficient ML models that predict material behavior under real-world conditions and integrate physics-informed and multimodal approaches alongside materials scientists.

Skills

  • Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX).
  • Experience with modeling sparse, time-dependent, or few-shot datasets.
  • Familiarity with experimental and/or computational materials datasets and performance characterization.
  • Knowledge of physics-informed ML, probabilistic modeling, and multi-modal data integration.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills for cross-disciplinary work.

Responsibilities

  • Develop ML models to predict materials performance and reliability across conditions such as stress, temperature, chemical environments, and aging.
  • Design data-efficient learning strategies for sparse, small, or incomplete experimental datasets.
  • Integrate physics-informed priors, probabilistic modeling, time-series prediction, and multi-modal methods into predictive frameworks.
  • Collaborate with materials scientists to curate, preprocess, and interpret experimental and simulation data.
  • Build scalable ML workflows and pipelines for deployment within Lila’s scientific platform.

Education

  • PhD in Materials Science, Applied Physics, Machine Learning, Computer Science or related field preferred.
  • Advanced degrees or equivalent industry/research experience will be considered.

Benefits

  • Equity ownership / stock options
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Flexible PTO and paid time off
  • 401(k) or retirement savings plan options (where applicable)
  • Collaborative, mission-driven research environment with professional development support
