Computational Scientist – Machine Learning & Immunology & Biologics

A cutting-edge biotech organization is seeking highly motivatedComputational Scientiststo support the mission of decoding and engineering the immune system. The role focuses on developing advancedmachine learning and statistical modelsto analyze complex biological data, particularly immune repertoires and multimodal datasets.


About the Role

As part of a collaborative Computational Biology team, you will:

  • Design and implement machine learning models—particularlylanguage models, diffusion models, or graph neural networks—tailored to biomedical challenges.
  • Build novel computational methods for interpretingbiological sequences and structural data.
  • Customize existing tools and develop new ones for integrative analysis and visualization oflarge-scale systems immunology data.
  • Drive ML-based pipelines fordiagnostic or therapeutic design.
  • Benchmark computational methods and optimize performance across datasets.
  • Lead or contribute tocollaborative projectsspanning academic, clinical, and industry domains.


Required Qualifications

  • PhD (or MSc with equivalent experience) inComputational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistics, Physics, or related quantitative discipline.
  • Strong background inmachine learning and statistical modeling, with a demonstrated ability to solve complex biological problems.
  • Proven track record of scientific productivity (e.g., peer-reviewed publications).
  • Hands-on experience indata handling, visualization, and biological data analysis.
  • Proficient inPython, familiar withsoftware development best practices.
  • Practical experience withTensorFlowand/orPyTorch.


Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years post-graduate experience in academia or biotech/pharma, applyingML/AI to biological datasets.
  • Prior exposure toimmunology, especiallyTCR/BCR repertoire analysis, or experience with protein design & or biologics.
  • Deep expertise in at least one of the following areas:
  • Language modelsfor sequence analysis
  • Diffusion modelsin molecular design
  • Graph MLin biomedical networks
  • Experience withGPU computing (cloud or HPC clusters).

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

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
