Flagship Labs 97 Inc. (FL97) is a privately held, early-stage technology company pioneering the application of artificial intelligence to transform every aspect of the scientific method. FL97 is backed by Flagship Pioneering, which brings the courage, long-term vision, and resources needed to realize unreasonable results. Join our mission-driven team and contribute to the future of science.Our Physical Sciences effort is developing a novel AI and data-driven approach to materials discovery and development to accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy.At FL97, we are uniquely cross-functional and collaborative. We are actively reimagining the way teams work together and communicate. Therefore, we seek individuals with an inclusive mindset and a diversity of thought. Our teams thrive in unstructured and creative environments. All voices are heard because we know that experience comes in many forms, skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way.If this sounds like an environment you’d love to work in, even if you only have some of the experience listed below, please apply.Responsibilities:
Develop and execute laser annealing methods for targeted materials synthesis.Establish standard operating procedures for the alignment and operation of laser systems that ensure lab safety.Collaborate with Computation teams to design and execute campaigns to synthesize novel thin-film materials.Work with the automation team to design and source instrumentation to automate or otherwise accelerate thin-film synthesis and processing.Design data processing, data interpretation, and quality control algorithms for thin-film characterization data and collaborate with the computational team to implement these algorithms.Work with the data science team to establish expressive machine representations of synthesis methods and recipes to enable both stringent data management and automation of the design and execution of synthesis recipes.Analyze, report, and present findings of experiments to the FL97 research team.Become the instrument owner for the scanning probe microscopy systems including management of its operation, maintenance, and repair. Develop protocols for system operation, equipment calibration, signal processing, and data interpretation.Eager to work with highly skilled and dynamic teams in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and technical setting.Able to create small, achievable units of work from large, complex, and ambiguous scientific goals.Excellent communicator, capable of conveying technical information to a variety of stakeholders in a clear and thorough manner.Highly collaborative.Output focused.Qualifications:
Ph.D in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgy, or related field.Hands-on experience with laser systems and their safe operation.Hands-on experience with scanning probe microscopy techniques (STM, AFM, Nano Indentation, etc.).Preferred Qualification: Experience with laser processing for synthesis of solid state materials.Preferred Qualifications: Experience with workflow automation.Preferred Qualification: Experience with machine learning-driven discovery.Location:
Cambridge, MAMore About Flagship PioneeringFlagship Pioneering is a company that invents and builds platform companies, each with the potential for multiple products that transform human health or sustainability. Since its launch in 2000, Flagship has originated and fostered more than 100 scientific ventures, resulting in more than $90 billion in aggregate value. Many of the companies Flagship has founded have addressed humanity’s most urgent challenges: vaccinating billions of people against COVID-19, curing intractable diseases, improving human health, preempting illness, and feeding the world by improving the resiliency and sustainability of agriculture. Flagship has been recognized twice on FORTUNE’s “Change the World” list, an annual ranking of companies that have made a positive social and environmental impact through activities that are part of their core business strategies, and has been twice named to Fast Company’s annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies.
