Role Summary We are seeking an AI scientist who can collaborate closely with a data scientist to design, build, and deploy AI/ML modules that accelerate biocide formulation development, improve predictive decision-making (e.g., stability, efficacy, compatibility), and shorten lab iteration cycles. This role sits at the intersection of formulation chemistry/microbiology, experimental design, and data/AI-driven R&D. You will own end-to-end problem framing, data readiness (with LIMS/ELN), model-user requirements, and lab validation of AI outputs-turning models into actionable tools for bench scientists. Key Responsibilities AI/ML Module Co-Development Convert business/scientific questions into model requirements (e.g., predict stability phase separation, viscosity drift, microbial kill under specific conditions, raw-material compatibility, cost/COGS optimization). Specify and prioritize features/inputs (formulation composition, physical-chemical properties, process parameters, storage conditions, raw-material attributes). Partner on model selection & validation (regression/classification, Bayesian optimization, active learning, multi-objective optimization). Define acceptance criteria (accuracy, applicability domain, explainability). Lead lab validation loops: design confirmatory experiments, refine datasets, and iterate with the data scientist. Work with Data Scientists to generate high-quality datasets for model training/validation. Define and develop code to utilize LLMs to optimize for target product profiles (efficacy, stability, cost-in-use, sensory, compatibility, sustainability constraints). Translate lab findings into mechanistic and statistical insights that inform model features and constraints. Support deployment of user-facing tools (dashboards, notebooks, apps); ensure interpretability and ease of adoption. Data Readiness & Governance Define metadata schemas for formulations, processes, and test methods; ensure data lineage and versioning. Collaborate with IT/data engineering on pipelines from ELN/LIMS to analytics platforms (e.g., Azure ML/Databricks/Power BI). Cross-Functional Influence & Change Management Train and coach bench scientists on using AI tools in everyday formulation work. Create clear communication artifacts (model cards, SOPs, one-pagers, and decision trees). Drive efficiency where AI can eliminate iterations, reduce time-to-lab, and de-risk scale-up. Minimum Qualifications MS/PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related; or BS with 7+ years relevant experience. 3-5+ years in formulation development (biocides, preservatives, antimicrobials, or adjacent fields such as HI&I, coatings, personal care, agrochemicals, pharmaceutical development). Strong experimental design/DoE and statistical analysis skills (JMP, Design-Expert, R, Python, or similar). Demonstrated experience collaborating with data scientists on predictive modeling and/or optimization projects. Proficiency with ELNs/LIMS and data hygiene-able to structure datasets for modeling and ensure reproducibility. Preferred Qualifications Cheminformatics/QSAR/QSPR familiarity (e.g., molecular descriptors, RDKit) and property estimation. Exposure to Bayesian optimization, active learning, or multi-objective optimization for formulations. Experience with model interpretability (SHAP/feature importance) and applicability domain. Hands-on experience with Azure ML, Databricks, or similar ML platforms; dashboarding with Power BI / other. Background in chemistry Knowledge of sustainability-by-design (biobased actives, VOC limits, hazard/risk assessment). Core Competencies Scientific Rigor & Problem Framing: Converts vague needs into testable hypotheses and model-ready requirements. Data Literacy: Interprets model metrics, understands overfitting, and knows when to trust vs. test. Collaboration & Influence: Bridges R&D, Regulatory, Data Science, and Operations.
