(Senior) Research Software Engineer - AI Co-Scientist Systems Job Title (Senior) Research Software Engineer - AI Co-Scientist Systems Post Number Closing Date 20 Aug 2026 Grade SC6/SC5 Starting Salary Salary: £38,000-£52,560 Hours per week 37 Project Title Generative Digital Biology: AI Co-Scientist Systems and Lab Automation Expected/Ideal Start Date 07 Sep 2026 Months Duration 36 Job Description Main Purpose of the Job The post holder will take a research-active software engineering and AI systems role in the AI for Biology Group, building the AI-agent-driven platform required for Generative Digital Biology. 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.

About The Role Principal Learning Specialist/Trainer (Agile/lean) Location: London,hybrid Your Role: An Advanced SAFe Practice Consultant (ASPC) or willing to work towards you will deliver Scaled Agile and AI-enabled learning, coaching and advisory services, empowering individuals, teams and leaders to apply modern ways of working, drive continuous improvement and achieve measurable business outcomes. Key Responsibilities: Delivering programmes and learning experiences Deliver across the Agile and Lean portfolio in classroom, virtual and blended formats, from foundation audiences new to Agile and Lean through to experienced practitioners, coaches and leaders. Design and develop bespoke training courses to meet learner, client and business needs. Act as the client advisor for SAFe offerings at QA - through identifying opportunities during learning delivery for what clients need and beyond the classroom supporting them to identify solutions. Partner with key Account Managers to identify current challenges for clients, and how SAFe can support them in addressing these challenges. Ability to work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to implement SAFe practices tailored to client needs. This should range from the implementation of PI Planning to ongoing maturity increases in practices such as Lean Portfolio and Product Management. Run experiential, hands-on sessions built around simulations, workshops, real data and live problem-solving, so learners leave able to apply the practice and not just recite it. Adapt your pitch and pace to mixed audiences and experience levels, holding a clear line on principles while staying flexible on the path. Scaled Agile craft Teach Scaled Agile (SAFe) with genuine depth, including SAFe principles, value stream mapping, PI Planning, Lean Portfolio Management, Product Management and the learner journey from SAFe Agilist to SAFe Lean Portfolio Manager - as part of the Expert SAFe series. Demonstrate a keen-ness and awareness of changes to the framework - including, but not limited to, AI-Native SAFe and the Advanced SPC learner journey. This includes participation as an active member of the community in places such as SAFe Connect, or SAFe themed meetups. Teach the framework not for blind adherence but for outcome-focussed delivery to really provide first class learning and coaching experiences to clients. Cover scaling with authority, including awareness of SAFe, LeSS and Nexus, PI and big-room planning facilitation at department or organisation level, the design and launch of Agile Release Trains and value streams, and Lean Portfolio Management. AI fluency and modern practice Model current, working AI practice across the ladder, from everyday use up to building and governing tools, because this is where credibility is won or lost. Use AI fluently for day-to-day delivery support such as drafting and summarising, and to augment delivery by analysing flow data and designing scenarios, including augmented test scenario design. Orchestrate AI live in delivery and facilitation, synthesising in real time, and critically evaluate and govern AI outputs in client contexts so adoption stays responsible. Identify opportunities to integrate AI into ways of working, use vibe coding to build working prototypes and tools, and build reusable AI agents that scale your delivery and coaching impact. Help define responsible-AI standards and governance for the practice, treating ethics and governance as a first-class topic rather than a footnote. Your Experience: Relevant certifications, SAFe (SPC or willing to work towards ASPC) Genuine, current AI fluency that is practical rather than theoretical. You use AI across delivery, you have built tools or agents, you understand vibe coding, and you can govern AI outputs responsibly in a client context. Deep, hands on SAFe expertise. Proven training, teaching or facilitation experience with adult and professional learners, and the ability to run experiential, hands on sessions rather than lecture. A track record of thought leadership through publishing, speaking at events, webinars or external recognition. Credibility delivering coaching and advisory for clients, including team and leadership coaching, workshop design, health checks and transformation advisory, and not only teaching open courses. Excellent facilitation, influencing and stakeholder skills, able to read a room, work with resistance and influence without formal authority.

About The Role Principal Learning Specialist/Trainer (Agile/lean) Location: London,hybrid Your Role: An Advanced SAFe Practice Consultant (ASPC) or willing to work towards you will deliver Scaled Agile and AI-enabled learning, coaching and advisory services, empowering individuals, teams and leaders to apply modern ways of working, drive continuous improvement and achieve measurable business outcomes. Key Responsibilities: Delivering programmes and learning experiences Deliver across the Agile and Lean portfolio in classroom, virtual and blended formats, from foundation audiences new to Agile and Lean through to experienced practitioners, coaches and leaders. Design and develop bespoke training courses to meet learner, client and business needs. Act as the client advisor for SAFe offerings at QA - through identifying opportunities during learning delivery for what clients need and beyond the classroom supporting them to identify solutions. Partner with key Account Managers to identify current challenges for clients, and how SAFe can support them in addressing these challenges. Ability to work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to implement SAFe practices tailored to client needs. This should range from the implementation of PI Planning to ongoing maturity increases in practices such as Lean Portfolio and Product Management. Run experiential, hands-on sessions built around simulations, workshops, real data and live problem-solving, so learners leave able to apply the practice and not just recite it. Adapt your pitch and pace to mixed audiences and experience levels, holding a clear line on principles while staying flexible on the path. Scaled Agile craft Teach Scaled Agile (SAFe) with genuine depth, including SAFe principles, value stream mapping, PI Planning, Lean Portfolio Management, Product Management and the learner journey from SAFe Agilist to SAFe Lean Portfolio Manager - as part of the Expert SAFe series. Demonstrate a keen-ness and awareness of changes to the framework - including, but not limited to, AI-Native SAFe and the Advanced SPC learner journey. This includes participation as an active member of the community in places such as SAFe Connect, or SAFe themed meetups. Teach the framework not for blind adherence but for outcome-focussed delivery to really provide first class learning and coaching experiences to clients. Cover scaling with authority, including awareness of SAFe, LeSS and Nexus, PI and big-room planning facilitation at department or organisation level, the design and launch of Agile Release Trains and value streams, and Lean Portfolio Management. AI fluency and modern practice Model current, working AI practice across the ladder, from everyday use up to building and governing tools, because this is where credibility is won or lost. Use AI fluently for day-to-day delivery support such as drafting and summarising, and to augment delivery by analysing flow data and designing scenarios, including augmented test scenario design. Orchestrate AI live in delivery and facilitation, synthesising in real time, and critically evaluate and govern AI outputs in client contexts so adoption stays responsible. Identify opportunities to integrate AI into ways of working, use vibe coding to build working prototypes and tools, and build reusable AI agents that scale your delivery and coaching impact. Help define responsible-AI standards and governance for the practice, treating ethics and governance as a first-class topic rather than a footnote. Your Experience: Relevant certifications, SAFe (SPC or willing to work towards ASPC) Genuine, current AI fluency that is practical rather than theoretical. You use AI across delivery, you have built tools or agents, you understand vibe coding, and you can govern AI outputs responsibly in a client context. Deep, hands on SAFe expertise. Proven training, teaching or facilitation experience with adult and professional learners, and the ability to run experiential, hands on sessions rather than lecture. A track record of thought leadership through publishing, speaking at events, webinars or external recognition. Credibility delivering coaching and advisory for clients, including team and leadership coaching, workshop design, health checks and transformation advisory, and not only teaching open courses. Excellent facilitation, influencing and stakeholder skills, able to read a room, work with resistance and influence without formal authority.
