Genomics Data Scientist (Bioinformatics / Biostatistics)


ARCA is building a nationwide talent pool of Genomics Data Scientists with skills across bioinformatics, biostatistics, computational genomics and large-scale data analysis.


We support NHS organisations, research groups and biotech partners and are looking for candidates at all levels for upcoming contract and permanent roles, starting in 2026.


What You’ll Work On:


  • Analysis of large genomic datasets (WGS/WES, RNA-Seq, variant calling).
  • Developing and maintaining bioinformatics workflows and pipelines.
  • Applying statistical modelling to genomic and clinical data.
  • Generating insights to support research, clinical decision-making and population health programmes.
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across science, data and clinical domains.


What We’re Looking For:


  • Background in Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Genomics, Data Science or similar.
  • Experience with genomic data formats and tools
  • Strong R and/or Python skills.
  • Understanding of statistical methods used in biological data analysis.
  • Clear communicator with good coding and documentation practices.
  • TRE/SDE/HPC experience is a bonus

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
