What the Job Involves

As a Machine Learning Scientist, your primary role would be to design and implement advanced machine learning techniques to analyze DNA and genetic data. ​


Responsibilities:

  • Analyze Genetic Data: Work with DNA and genetic information to uncover patterns and insights that could lead to new medical treatments.​
  • Develop Machine Learning Models: Create algorithms that can predict how diseases develop or how patients might respond to certain treatments.​
  • Collaborate with Scientists: Work closely with biologists and other researchers to ensure that the computational models align with biological realities.​


Requirements:

  • APhDin machine learning, computational biology, or a related field, or equivalent industrial experience.
  • Demonstrated experience applying machine learning techniques to DNA or genetic data. Alternatively, expertise in using transformers for biological data, such as DNA, protein, or evolutionary-scale modelling.
  • Proficiency inPythonand at least one ML platform(e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
  • Experience withGraph ML/ GNN OR Single Cell Transcriptomics
  • Strong understanding oftransformersand their applications in biomedical research.
  • Knowledge of lab-in-the-loop frameworks and integration of ML techniques with experimental data.

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.
