Salary:£35,000 – £45,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Start Date:ASAP


About the Opportunity:

We are seeking an ambitious and intellectually curious Junior Data Scientist to join a fast-growing, forward-thinking team working at the forefront of data science, machine learning, and applied AI.


This is an excellent opportunity for a recent Master’s graduate eager to apply their academic expertise to solving real-world challenges—whether it’s predicting customer behaviour, optimising operations, or identifying patterns in complex datasets.


You’ll collaborate with experienced data scientists, machine learning engineers, and subject-matter experts to design, develop, and deploy models that deliver meaningful impact across a variety of industries.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and building machine learning models to solve real-world problems
  • Carrying out full data science workflows: from data acquisition and cleaning to modelling, validation, and deployment
  • Applying statistical and AI techniques to generate actionable insights
  • Contributing to experimental research, model prototyping, and A/B testing
  • Presenting findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Collaborating across data science, engineering, and product teams to build scalable solutions
  • Staying current with advancements in machine learning and AI, and contributing new ideas to internal R&D discussions


What We’re Looking For:

  • A recently completed Master’s degree from aRussell Group universityin Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related discipline
  • Strong programming skills in Python (e.g. NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib); R is also welcome
  • A solid understanding of core machine learning concepts, data wrangling, and model evaluation
  • Proficiency with SQL and experience handling large datasets
  • A passion for solving complex problems using data and a continuous learning mindset
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Full right to work in the UK(we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role)


Desirable (Not Essential):

  • Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch)
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Experience with experimental design, research methods, or academic publishing
  • Understanding of MLOps, version control (Git), or containerisation (e.g. Docker)


Benefits:

💰Competitive Salary & Bonus: £35,000 – £45,000 plus performance-based incentives

🏡Hybrid Working: A flexible mix of office and remote work

📈Career Growth: Structured professional development, mentorship, and training opportunities

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

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.
