Machine Learning Engineer

We are currently looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join a pioneering research organisation dedicated to advancing drug discovery through innovative approaches to disordered proteins. This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with a strong industrial background and a passion for applying machine learning to complex biological problems. Based at their modern facility, you will play a key role in driving forward cutting edge research in a dynamic, open source environment. In this position, you will be responsible for developing and deploying machine learning models specifically tailored to tackle the challenges presented by highly dynamic and disordered proteins, with a particular focus on NMR data. You will work independently within a small, autonomous team, influencing research directions and interpreting self generated data to uncover new insights in this emerging scientific frontier.

• Develop and implement machine learning models to analyse complex biological data, particularly focusing on disordered proteins.
• Collaborate with scientific teams to interpret data, draw insights, and refine experimental approaches based on model findings.
• Engage directly with real biological problems, balancing modelling expertise with practical, applied research.
• Use technical knowledge to drive projects independently within a small, open source environment, ensuring results are meaningful and impactful.
• Translate scientific challenges into effective computational solutions.

• A Degree or higher level in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Data Science, Bioinformatics) with proven applied experience.
• Demonstrated industrial experience in developing machine learning solutions within biological or biochemical research settings.
• Strong understanding of disordered proteins, protein dynamics, and limitations of static techniques like NMR.
• Proven ability to work independently, drive projects forward, and influence research directions within small, autonomous teams.

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research in drug discovery at a forward thinking, non profit organisation. You will benefit from a collaborative, open source environment with significant influence over scientific direction, paired with a competitive salary package and the potential for sponsorship if required. Working four days on site offers excellent work life balance, within a state of the art facility supported by recent government funding.
