Data Scientist

Oxford PharmaGenesis is looking for a talented and motivated Data Scientist to join our team. As a Data Scientist, you will be responsible for delivering client-ready healthcare-focused AI and data science projects. This role involves leading the technical delivery of specialist AI projects, including large language models, natural language processing, knowledge graphs, semantic data modelling and advanced analytics. You will support project scoping, technical planning and the development of innovative data solutions. You will also help to develop the capabilities and skills of other colleagues, and you will contribute to the future direction of our AI and Data Science Team.

This role requires exceptional communication skills for client-facing interactions, with both technical and non-technical audiences, and project management and scoping abilities. You should be able to work autonomously while collaborating effectively, and you will have excellent attention to detail and the ability to meet the highest quality standards.

Ideally, you will be based in either of our Oxford offices; however, you could also be based in one of our other UK offices (London, Cardiff or Cambridge).

We are looking for a Data Scientist who has:

• a degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent experience (e.g. bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science). A PhD is preferred, preferably in life sciences
• prior experience in a biomedical/pharmaceutical or medical communications environment
• expert-level proficiency in Python and/or R
• a strong foundation in data manipulation and analysis (pandas, tidyverse)
• experience in version control systems (Git) and collaborative development practices
• an understanding of databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) and data architecture principles
• proficiency in data visualization and dashboard creation.
