# Research Scientist, Machine Learning

onepot is automating chemistry. Our goal is to enable a self-improvement loop for chemistry by combining AI and advanced robotics. In this loop, AI systems design experiments, robotic systems execute them, and the resulting data improves the next generation of models. This goal can only be achieved by bringing together people from different backgrounds: ML engineers, chemists, computer scientists, and hardware engineers. We are building a small, unusually ambitious team and are looking for a machine learning researcher to join us to help train the next generation of chemistry models. We train models for a wide range of tasks, including reaction planning and outcome, input material costs, and mass spectra prediction. Most of these models are state-of-the-art; many are trained on proprietary datasets that are larger, and higher quality, than what exists in the literature. Our models are primarily deployed internally for real workflows. As such, we maintain a tight feedback loop between usage, data, and model training. The role In this position, you will train the next generation of chemistry models, and enable synthesis of previously inaccessible molecules. Your work will span the fu
