THE ROLE


We are seeking an exceptional Data Scientist with expertise in causal inference, experimental design, and conformal prediction to join our innovative analytics data science team.

In this role, you'll leverage advanced statistical methods to extract meaningful insights from complex data, design robust experiments, and develop predictive models with reliable uncertainty quantification.


Core Responsibilities


  • Design, implement, and analyse causal inference experiments including natural experiments, and quasi-experimental methods
  • Develop and apply conformal prediction frameworks to provide reliable uncertainty estimates for machine learning models
  • Identify and control for confounding variables in observational studies
  • Create robust statistical methodologies for causal effect estimation
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business questions into rigorous experimental designs
  • Present technical findings to stakeholders in clear, actionable terms

Qualifications


  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a quantitative discipline with deep understanding of statistics
  • 3+ years of professional experience in applying statistical methods to real data .
  • Demonstrated expertise in experimental design, including randomized controlled trials and observational study methodologies
  • Strong understanding of conformal prediction theory and applications
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or R, and relevant statistical packages
  • Experience with causal inference frameworks (e.g., potential outcomes, causal graphs, do-calculus)
  • Knowledge of modern machine learning techniques and how they intersect with causal reasoning
  • Excellent communication skills, with ability to explain complex statistical concepts to non-technical audiences


Preferred Skills


  • Experience with heterogeneous treatment effect estimation
  • Familiarity with Bayesian methods for causal inference
  • Background in epidemiology would be a plus
  • Experience working with a causal inference ecosystem (pywhy, causal impact, synth, geolift,…)

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics. But while the technology continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to communicate it clearly has become just as important as building the models themselves. Whether you're applying for a junior ML engineer role, a research position, or a client-facing AI consultant job, UK employers increasingly expect candidates to explain complex machine learning solutions to non-technical audiences. In this guide, you’ll learn how to confidently present your work, structure your message, use simple visuals, and explain the real-world value of machine learning in a way that makes sense to people without a background in data science.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2025: 50 Companies Hiring Now

Bookmark this page—we refresh the Hotlist every quarter so you always know who’s really scaling their ML teams. The UK’s National AI Strategy, a £2 billion GenAI accelerator fund and a record flow of private capital have kicked ML hiring into overdrive for 2025. Whether you build production‑grade LLM services or optimise on‑device models for edge hardware, employers need your skills now. Below you’ll find 50 organisations that advertised UK‑based machine‑learning vacancies or announced head‑count growth during the past eight weeks. They’re grouped into five quick‑scan categories so you can jump straight to the type of employer—and mission—that excites you.
