About us GCHQ is an intelligence, cyber and security agency with a mission to keep the UK safe. We use cutting edge technology, ingenuity and partnerships to identify, analyse and disrupt threats. Working with our intelligence partners, we protect the UK from terrorism, cyber attacks and espionage. At GCHQ, you'll do varied and fascinating work in a supportive and inclusive environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork. The role As one of our Associate Enterprise Architects, you'll work with support from senior architects to develop and deliver GCHQ's enterprise architecture. By translating organisational goals into actionable architectural strategies, you'll lead design initiatives, proactively identify risks and constraints, and optimise environments across technology, data, and processes to deliver impactful solutions. The nature of our work means our technology must be cutting edge and is often unique to our one of a kind mission. So, the opportunity for learning in this role is extensive, with lots of interesting challenges and plenty of development opportunities on offer. Mentored by one of our Enterprise Architects, you'll collaborate with delivery teams and stakeholders throughout the organisation, applying best practice and emerging approaches while growing your own skills.

And your curiosity means you're eager to learn more. Architectural standards, principles, and governance are familiar territory for you, and you've worked with at least one modern architecture framework or standard (like ArchiMate, TOGAF, Zachman or MODAF) to guide your work. Sound communication and problem solving skills are vital in this role. You can analyse requirements, shape solutions at the right level of detail, and clearly articulate risks and trade offs to both technical and non technical audiences.

You'll be encouraged to drive and shape your own personal development, and you'll have access to learning and development opportunities tailored to your role. We'll cover the cost and provide the time and support you need to gain professional qualifications and certifications. From day one, you'll have access to mentors and subject matter experts. We'll help you create a structured development and career plan that's right for you. Rewards and benefits You'll receive a starting salary of £55,758 to £63,948, including a concessionary payment of £2,658. The final amount depends on your skills and experience, plus other benefits including: 25 days' annual leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days of public and privilege holidays opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme an interest free season ticket loan (travel and parking) an excellent pension scheme a cycle to work scheme facilities such as a gym, restaurant, and on site coffee bars (at some locations) paid parental and adoption leave Equal opportunities At GCHQ, diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission.

The role will connect foundation models, scientific tools, biological datasets, experimental design algorithms, lab automation workflows, robotics interfaces and human in the loop scientific decision making. This is a platform building research role, not a conventional bioinformatics software support post. The successful candidate will contribute intellectually to research, develop publishable AI systems, build open source software and demonstrators, co author research outputs and support competitive grant applications. The role would suit a highly capable computer scientist, AI systems researcher, robotics engineer or research active software engineer who wants to build the technical backbone for AI driven biological discovery. A key objective will be to develop an AI co scientist demonstrator for the group and the Institute: a platform that can show how AI agents can interact with human scientists via virtual/augmented reality, reason over biological questions, call scientific tools and APIs, use foundation models, design experiments, interface with computational and physical workflows, and support rigorous, auditable and reproducible scientific discovery. The post holder will work closely with the other AI for Biology appointments. Foundation model research in the group will provide biological representations and predictive models; generative and causal AI research will provide design and experimental decision algorithms; this RSE role will build the software, agentic workflows, tool registries, automation interfaces, provenance mechanisms and demonstrator environment that connect these components into a usable scientific discovery system. This will be a highly collaborative role embedded across EI. The post holder will work with EI colleagues and platforms to connect AI designed hypotheses and candidates with biological data, experimental design and validation routes, including potential collaborations with Earlham Biofoundry and engineering biology colleagues on AI-guided design build test learn cycles; with Cellular Genomics and Single cell and Spatial Analysis on perturbation, cell state and single cell/spatial omics use cases; and with BioFAIR, ELIXIR UK, Open and FAIR Data and Research e Infrastructure colleagues on AI ready design datasets, benchmarks, provenance and reproducible workflows. Prior experience in lab automation is desirable but not essential. We particularly welcome candidates with exceptional computer science, large scale machine learning systems, robotics or software engineering backgrounds who are motivated to apply their skills to biological discovery and to learn the relevant biological and automation context. Key Relationships INTERNAL: Reporting to Professor Ke Li, the post holder will work closely with the AI for Biology Group and collaborate across EI's research programmes, National Bioscience Research Infrastructures, Research e Infrastructure and technology platforms. Key internal relationships are expected to include Earlham Biofoundry and engineering biology colleagues for lab automation, robotics interfaces and design build test learn workflows; Research e Infrastructure for HPC/GPU/cloud, reproducible software and scalable model deployment; BioFAIR, ELIXIR UK and Open and FAIR Data colleagues for AI ready resources, provenance, data/model documentation and interoperable workflows; Cellular Genomics and Single cell and Spatial Analysis for biological use cases; and relevant EI groups working on plants, microbes, biodiversity, health, genomics and data intensive bioscience. EXTERNAL: The post holder will interact with UK and international collaborators in AI, AI agents, machine learning systems, research software engineering, robotics, laboratory automation, autonomous experimentation, computational biology, engineering biology, genomics, plant science, human health and therapeutic discovery. External collaborations may include academic, public sector, infrastructure, clinical and industry partners where appropriate.

The role will connect foundation models, scientific tools, biological datasets, experimental design algorithms, lab automation workflows, robotics interfaces and human in the loop scientific decision making. This is a platform building research role, not a conventional bioinformatics software support post. The successful candidate will contribute intellectually to research, develop publishable AI systems, build open source software and demonstrators, co author research outputs and support competitive grant applications. The role would suit a highly capable computer scientist, AI systems researcher, robotics engineer or research active software engineer who wants to build the technical backbone for AI driven biological discovery. A key objective will be to develop an AI co scientist demonstrator for the group and the Institute: a platform that can show how AI agents can interact with human scientists via virtual/augmented reality, reason over biological questions, call scientific tools and APIs, use foundation models, design experiments, interface with computational and physical workflows, and support rigorous, auditable and reproducible scientific discovery. The post holder will work closely with the other AI for Biology appointments. Foundation model research in the group will provide biological representations and predictive models; generative and causal AI research will provide design and experimental decision algorithms; this RSE role will build the software, agentic workflows, tool registries, automation interfaces, provenance mechanisms and demonstrator environment that connect these components into a usable scientific discovery system. This will be a highly collaborative role embedded across EI. The post holder will work with EI colleagues and platforms to connect AI designed hypotheses and candidates with biological data, experimental design and validation routes, including potential collaborations with Earlham Biofoundry and engineering biology colleagues on AI-guided design build test learn cycles; with Cellular Genomics and Single cell and Spatial Analysis on perturbation, cell state and single cell/spatial omics use cases; and with BioFAIR, ELIXIR UK, Open and FAIR Data and Research e Infrastructure colleagues on AI ready design datasets, benchmarks, provenance and reproducible workflows. Prior experience in lab automation is desirable but not essential. We particularly welcome candidates with exceptional computer science, large scale machine learning systems, robotics or software engineering backgrounds who are motivated to apply their skills to biological discovery and to learn the relevant biological and automation context. Key Relationships INTERNAL: Reporting to Professor Ke Li, the post holder will work closely with the AI for Biology Group and collaborate across EI's research programmes, National Bioscience Research Infrastructures, Research e Infrastructure and technology platforms. Key internal relationships are expected to include Earlham Biofoundry and engineering biology colleagues for lab automation, robotics interfaces and design build test learn workflows; Research e Infrastructure for HPC/GPU/cloud, reproducible software and scalable model deployment; BioFAIR, ELIXIR UK and Open and FAIR Data colleagues for AI ready resources, provenance, data/model documentation and interoperable workflows; Cellular Genomics and Single cell and Spatial Analysis for biological use cases; and relevant EI groups working on plants, microbes, biodiversity, health, genomics and data intensive bioscience. EXTERNAL: The post holder will interact with UK and international collaborators in AI, AI agents, machine learning systems, research software engineering, robotics, laboratory automation, autonomous experimentation, computational biology, engineering biology, genomics, plant science, human health and therapeutic discovery. External collaborations may include academic, public sector, infrastructure, clinical and industry partners where appropriate.
