We help our clients visualise and understand how their drug or device is influencing key biomarkers at the cellular and tissue level. Working collaboratively, our experienced scientific team provides a bespoke service allowing our clients to make the most of our expertise in histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC) including multipleximmunofluorescence, in situ hybridisation (ISH) & cutting-edge digital image analysis (IA).


Job Description

Due to continued growth, we have an exciting opportunity for a Data Scientist/Bioinformatician to join our Image and Data Analysis Department. The successful candidate will play a key role in advancing digital pathology solutions by developing and applying computational methods to analyse histopathology images using Visiopharm software and extracting, interpreting, and visualising datasets using R and Python, to generate valuable insights for drug development and biomarker research.


Key Responsibilities & Duties

  • Support the development of deep learning-based algorithms for tissue segmentation and biomarker quantification for analysis of histopathology brightfield and fluorescent images.
  • Perform data manipulation, visualisation and statistical analysis.
  • Collaborate with wet lab scientists and computational scientists to optimise image analysis pipelines.
  • Provide support in interpreting and presenting data in a meaningful way to internal teams and external clients.
  • Ensure quality control and reproducibility in digital pathology analyses.
  • Conduct spatial analyses of tissue features and cell phenotypes to extract biologically relevant insights.

Skills and Attributes

  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or R for data analysis (essential).
  • Familiarity with statistical analysis and data visualization tools (essential).
  • Experience with image analysis tools (e.g., Visiopharm, HALO, QuPath) (highly desirable).
  • Basic knowledge of histology and histopathology and IHC principles (highly desirable).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.
  • Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail and ability to work efficiently to meet defined timelines.
  • Excellent communication skills to work effectively in a cross-disciplinary team.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Degree or higher qualification in Data Science, Bioinformatics, Computer Science or a related Life Science field.

The role will be based at BioCity Nottingham, with regular business hours.


For all our roles, a client focussed approach with strong scientific expertise is key to our business. If you are passionate about digital pathology and data manipulation and eager to contribute to the advancement of image-based research in a dynamic and growing organization, we would love to hear from you!


If this sounds like you, please submit your CV and covering letter to Cristina Suanno, Head of Image and Data Analyis, by 27th February.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
