They are currently seeking a passionate and skilledData Scientistto join their dynamic team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys solving complex problems, and is motivated by the opportunity to make a real impact in the healthcare sector.


Key Responsibilities


As aData Scientist, you will play a pivotal role in analyzing and interpreting health data to generate meaningful insights that drive decision-making for healthcare providers, researchers, and stakeholders. Your core responsibilities will include:


  • Analyzing and interpreting deidentified health data (e.g., CRF, survey data) collected through the company's data systems to identify trends and actionable insights.
  • Designing and executing Real-World Evidence (RWE) studies, including cohort studies and treatment effectiveness analyses, using R in RStudio.
  • Developing statistical summaries, visualizations, and reports to present complex healthcare data in an easily understandable format for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ensuring compliance with relevant health data regulations to protect patient privacy and maintain data integrity.
  • Collaborating with the internal Evidence team, sharing insights, and refining analytical approaches to enhance study outcomes.
  • Contributing to the optimization of data analysis processes by recommending best practices and methodologies to improve efficiency and accuracy.


Experience & Qualifications


The ideal candidate will be a detail-oriented individual with a strong analytical mindset and a deep passion for healthcare data. We are looking for someone with:


  • 2+ years of experience analyzing healthcare data, preferably US-based (e.g., claims data, EHRs, clinical trial data).
  • A degree (or higher) in Data Science, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, or a related field.
  • Proficiency inRfor statistical analysis (experience withRStudiois a plus).
  • Familiarity with data collection systems and a solid understanding of healthcare data structures.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex findings into clear and actionable insights for various audiences.


Desired Skills and Qualifications


If you possess any of the following, it would be highly beneficial:


  • Knowledge of health data regulations and data anonymization techniques (e.g., HIPAA).
  • Experience working withSQLor other statistical tools such asPythonorSAS.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
