(Senior) Scientist, Machine Learning

Build Models Where None Exist Yet.

At Flagship Pioneering, we create companies from first principles. Within Flagship Labs, small founding teams define new technical theses, test them rapidly, and build ventures around breakthrough ideas.

We are forming a machine learning team inside a newly launched venture, Flagship Labs 120. Our work focuses on extracting latent structure from information-rich measurements of complex physical systems—often requiring mechanism-informed modeling, thoughtful inductive bias design, and principled approaches to inverse problems.

This is a zero-to-one role focused on modeling innovation rather than routine optimization. You’ll design, prototype, test, and refine new approaches that help define the technical foundation of a platform from day one.
