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.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
