Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop machine learning models and active learning workflows to accelerate the discovery of complex fluid formulations. Bridge domain expertise in soft matter with computational execution to link composition and microstructure to bulk fluid properties.
Requires a PhD in a relevant scientific field or a Master's with equivalent experience, along with strong Python and ML framework skills. Candidates must have domain expertise in complex fluids, colloids, or rheology and experience applying ML to materials-focused problems.
Lila Sciences is seeking a Computational Scientist I/II, Soft Matter Formulations - Complex Fluids to develop models, tools, and workflows that accelerate discovery across liquid and flowable soft material systems. This role focuses on complex fluids, including colloidal suspensions, emulsions, surfactant systems, polymer solutions, coolants and heat-transfer fluids, coatings, inks, and lubricants.
You will bring domain expertise in soft matter, complex fluids, colloids, rheology, interfacial science, formulation science, or a closely related area, and apply machine learning methods to connect composition, microstructure, processing conditions, and bulk fluid properties. The work spans rheology and flow behavior, phase stability, dispersion and aggregation, sedimentation, shelf-life, interfacial and wetting behavior, surface tension, foaming, and thermophysical performance.
This is a hands-on scientific ML role for someone who can bridge domain context and computational execution. You will develop structure-property models linking composition to microstructure and bulk fluid behavior, build active learning workflows over continuous compositional spaces, and incorporate mesoscale or continuum simulation coupling, such as coarse-grained molecular dynamics, dissipative particle dynamics, or CFD hooks, where it improves prediction and experimental decision-making.
We offer competitive base compensation with bonus potential and generous early-stage equity. Your final offer will reflect your background, expertise, and expected impact.
U.S. Benefits. Full-time U.S. employees receive a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer-paid life and disability insurance; flexible time off with generous company wide holidays; paid parental leave; an educational assistance program; commuter benefits, including bike share memberships for office based employees; and a company subsidized lunch program.
International Benefits. Full-time employees outside the U.S. receive a comprehensive benefits program tailored to their region. USD salary ranges apply only to U.S.-based positions; international salaries are set to local market.
Lila Sciences is building Scientific Superintelligence™ to solve humankind's greatest challenges. We believe science is the most inspiring frontier for AI. Rather than hard-coding expert knowledge into tools, LILA builds systems that can learn for themselves.
