We are seeking a Bioinformatician, looking to start their career in industry, to join a multidisciplinary team to make a lasting contribution to a unique technology that will transform our understanding of disease and diagnosis.

Role:
The bioinformatician will contribute to the analysis and interpretation of NGS data, generated using a unique epigenetics platform, as well as to develop ways to create patient epigenetic profiles and discover novel biomarkers for both diagnostics and prognostics.
You will gain exposure to cutting edge computational epigenetics and machine learning approaches and explore the latest bioinformatic developments for biomarker discovery, NGS and epigenetic data analysis.

Your background will include:

  • A Ph.D. in bioinformatics & epigenetics
  • Experience in handling and processing NGS datasets (such as WGS, Exome sequencing, RNA-seq etc), including raw data quality control, alignment and processing as well as analysis and interpretation
  • Knowledge of analysing epigenetics datasets such as ATAC-seq ChIP-seq, WGBS, MeDIPs, etc
  • Familiarity with data visualization and analytics tools
  • Comfortable coding in either Python or R

    It would be great if you had:
  • Experience in analysing 'omics datasets for biological interpretation and actionable insights.
  • Scientific domain expertise in epigenetics, cancer genomics, liquid biopsy or biomarker discovery and relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals
  • Familiarity with cloud environments and bioinformatics pipelines (e.g. Nextflow)
  • Familiarity with machine learning algorithms
  • Familiarity with variant calling packages and/or gene panels

    A small but rapidly expanding company - by joining early in their journey you will gain exposure to the various facets of start-up life and have a unique chance to contribute to the technology and influence the company culture. Excellent personal development opportunities.

    We are not currently sponsoring visas for this position. You will need to be able to legally work in the UK.

    Applicants that don't meet all requirements or those that have had non-traditional career paths are encouraged to apply, as diversity builds better teams. You will be provided with support to help you do your best work and make an impact.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
