Apply & track with Apply EdgeWe're building the world's clearest first-principles curriculum for protein AI, covering:AlphaFoldProtein language modelsGeometric AIWe're looking for someone who understands AlphaFold deeply enough to derive it from scratch, not just use it.You should be able to explain:Amino-acid sequenceMSAPair representationsEvoformerStructure moduleFinal 3D coordinatesFor every major tensor, you can answer:What does it represent?Why does it exist?Why wasn't the previous representation enough?What changes after this operation?The work:Remote video calls. Shared digital whiteboard. No slides. No lectures.We rebuild AlphaFold from a blank page until every representation has an intuitive explanation.The goal is simple:A strong CS student who already understands transformers should be able to derive AlphaFold's forward pass from first principles.Ideal backgroundPhD or advanced PhD candidate in ML, computational biology, structural biology, biophysics, or relatedHands-on experience with AlphaFold, OpenFold, RoseTTAFold, Boltz, Evoformer, or protein language modelsLoves explaining difficult ideas from first principlesDoesn't mind spending an hour debating one tensor if it leads to a cleaner explanation
