Machine Learning Engineer

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are currently looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join a pioneering research organisation dedicated to advancing drug discovery through innovative approaches to disordered proteins. This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with a strong industrial background and a passion for applying machine learning to complex biological problems. Based at their modern facility, you will play a key role in driving forward cutting-edge research in a dynamic, open-source environment.

In this position, you will be responsible for developing and deploying machine learning models specifically tailored to tackle the challenges presented by highly dynamic and disordered proteins, with a particular focus on NMR data. You will work independently within a small, autonomous team, influencing research directions and interpreting self-generated data to uncover new insights in this emerging scientific frontier.

KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIE S

Your duties as the Machine Learning Engineer will be varied, however the key duties and responsibilities are as follows:

• Develop and implement machine learning models to analyse complex biological data, particularly focusing on disordered proteins.
  
• Collaborate with scientific teams to interpret data, draw insights, and refine experimental approaches based on model findings.
  
• Engage directly with real biological problems, balancing modelling expertise with practical, applied research.
  
• Use your technical knowledge to drive projects independently within a small, open-source environment, ensuring results are meaningful and impactful.
  
• As the Machine Learning Engineer, you will be pivotal in translating scientific challenges into effective computational solutions.
  

ROLE REQUIREMENTS

To be successful in your application to this exciting role as the Machine Learning Engineer we are looking to identify the following on your profile and past history:

• A Degree or higher level in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Data Science, Bioinformatics) with proven applied experience.
  
• Demonstrated industrial experience in developing machine learning solutions within biological or biochemical research settings.
  
• Strong understanding of disordered proteins, protein dynamics, and limitations of static techniques like NMR.
  
• Proven ability to work independently, drive projects forward, and influence research directions within small, autonomous teams.
  

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research in drug discovery at a forward-thinking, non-profit organisation. You will benefit from a collaborative, open-source environment with significant influence over scientific direction, paired with a competitive salary package and the potential for sponsorship if required. Working four days on-site offers excellent work-life balance, within a state-of-the-art facility supported by recent government funding.
