About The Position

We are hiring an Application Scientist to help customers unlock the full value of the Mithrl AI Co-Scientist and to produce high quality scientific assets that showcase the platform’s capabilities. This role requires a PhD level scientist with strong expertise in discovery biology, computational biology, or a related field, combined with excellent communication skills and a passion for working directly with customers and partners. You will design and run analyses inside Mithrl, build publication-quality narratives and figures, and support discovery programs across biomarker identification, target discovery, target validation, and early preclinical development. You will also work closely with AEs and sales teams to explain the scientific value of the platform and help convert prospects into successful customers.
