The Scientist will develop multicellular organ models using agent-based modeling, integrate various modeling approaches, and coordinate with team members.
Deep Origin is a biotechnology company accelerating drug discovery through AI-powered tools. Our platforms simplify R&D, simulate biology, and empower scientists to solve diseases and extend healthspan.
We are looking for a Scientist whose role will be applying agent-based modeling approaches to multicellular systems (i.e., individual cells as agents, interacting with each other and the microenvironment). You will construct multicellular organ models used to predict relevant organ-level toxicities to known and novel drugs, and work with other members of the cellular simulations team to integrate intracellular and molecular modeling approaches and insights into the agent-based multicellular system.
Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
Requirements
- PhD in a relevant quantitative field (Biology, Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering, etc.).
- Experience constructing multicellular models (in any context) from scratch or with agent-based modeling packages.
- Extensive coding experience in Python.
- Experience with agent-based/multicellular/spatial modeling frameworks and approaches.
- Fluent English for collaboration with an international team.
- Ability to work on US time zones when needed.
Nice to have:
- Experience with intestinal or organ modeling.
- Machine learning experience, and in particular, surrogatizing biological systems.
- Embedding ODE/PDE-based kinetic models into agent-based representations.
- Experience with high-performance computing (multi-node computing, parallel algorithms) and GPU computation.
Responsibilities:
- Construct agent-based multicellular organ models for the intestine and liver, utilizing and building on state-of-the-art published models from academia and industry.
- Be the subject matter expert on agent-based multicellular modeling, ensuring the Cellular Simulations team stays at the forefront of current research.
- Plan and organize work to ensure specific deadlines and milestones are met, coordinating with others to ensure work is correctly aligned and integrated with other efforts.
- Communicate effectively within the company and external teams, updating others frequently on progress and bottlenecks.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
