Details Posted: 13-Nov-25 Location: Oak Ridge, Tennessee Type: Full Time Salary: Discussed at a later date Area of Focus: Other Required Education: Doctorate Internal Number: 15358 Overview: Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking an ambitious postdoctoral scientist with keen interest in artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) and photosynthesis to join the new pilot study of Generative Pretrained Transformer for genomic photosynthesis (GPTgp). The GPTgp project aims to develop a foundational holistic model of photosynthesis that will scale from plant genomics to phenomics with biological mechanisms embedded in deep neutral networks. GPTgp will allow task-specific training and transfer learning across reactions, pathways, biodesigns, and species. It can be fine-tuned for downstream applications such as predicting genetic perturbations, optimizing photosynthetic apparatus for performance, selecting top performing genotypes for various environmental conditions, and predicting photosynthesis at multiple scales. The selected postdoctoral scientist will work with a team of mathematicians, computational scientists, plant geneticists and physiologists, and data scientists to tackle fundamental issues in AI/ML-based photosynthesis research and applications. The selected scientist will have access to the world's most advanced resources in computing (https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/frontier) and plant phenotyping (https://www.ornl.gov/appl). GPTgp is a pilot project initiated in September 2025 with funding from the US Department of Energy and will initially last for two years. It is expected that the success of this pilot project will pave the way for future, much broader and deeper AI/ML-based research and applicational efforts in genomic photosynthesis. Major Duties/Responsibilities: * Compile and organize diverse multiscale datasets from plant genomics to phenomics. * Develop and test different tokenization and embedding strategies for multimodal plant datasets for training a foundational model of genomic photosynthesis. * Develop functionality requirements for a data lakehouse for AI genomic photosynthesis research and applications. * Assist in the development of AI architecture for holistic genomic photosynthesis modeling. * Evaluate performances of AI genomic photosynthesis models. * Report advances to program management and broader scientific communities. * Deliver ORNL's mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. Promote equal opportunity by fostering a respectful workplace - in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success. Basic Qualifications: * A PhD in evolutionary biology, plant biology, genomics, bioinformatics, mathematics, statistics, computer / computational science or related field completed within the last five years. * Experience in AI/ML. * Skills in a programing language are commonly used in AI/ML. Preferred Qualifications: * Deep experience in developing large language models. * Experience in DNA and protein AI/ML models and multimodal datasets. * Knowledge in different deep learning architectures, tokenization and embedding methods. * Experience in dimensional reduction methods and visualization tools. * Effective writing and communication skills as demonstrated in publication and presentation. * Demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
