The candidate should have experience using a variety of data mining/data analysis methods, as well as a strong statistical knowledge, DoE study experience and hands-on experience with JMP or similar software and building appropriate systems to interrogate database. Experience in working in a regulated environment is essential and the candidate must have a passion for discovering solutions hidden in large data and be comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders and functional teams to improve process outcomes.

Requirements

Required Experience & Knowledge:

·         Experienced in statistical modeling, multivariate data analysis and process analytics and experienced with applications (e.g. JMP…)

·         Proficiency using programming languages (e.g. R, Python, SQL, SAS, etc.) to manipulate data and draw insights from large data sets

·         Proficient in DoE applied to biological processes

·         A solid understanding of biological and bioprocessing concepts, data, and information types, experience working with CGT processes and analytical method is a plus

·         Experience building databases compliant with requirements for regulatory filings (ICH Q8-Q10, Regulatory CPV guidance)

·         Experience using/developing data visualization tools

·         Knowledge of GMP data integrity, process validation (PPQ) and CPV principles

·         Demonstrated experience applying knowledge in relevant industry fields such as Biopharma, CGT or manufacturing data analytics

 

Skills and Abilities

·         Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

·         Ability to translate complex dataset into actionable insights

·         Ability to work in and lead diverse cross-functional teams

·         Attention to detail and compliance mindset

·         A drive to learn and master new technologies and techniques

·         Excellent communication skills with an ability to visualize / present data to communicate ideas, concepts and results to technical and non-technical audiences (both internally and externally)

·         Interest in continuous improvement of processes by integrating innovative solutions

Education

MSc or PhD in data sciences, statistics, bioprocess engineering, Bioinformatics, Engineering or related discipline.

Rural-Remote AI Jobs: A Breath of Fresh Air in the UK Tech Scene

A New Horizon for AI Professionals For years, conversations around tech careers in the UK have hinged on a central theme: to succeed in artificial intelligence (AI), you must be in or around London (or other big metropolitan areas like Manchester, Bristol, or Edinburgh). But times are changing. Technological leaps and the rise of flexible working are paving the way for AI professionals to live and work well beyond the capital. From the rugged coastlines of Cornwall and Pembrokeshire to the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales, we’re witnessing an exciting trend of AI remote countryside roles that allow you to work at the forefront of tech innovation—all while enjoying the tranquillity of rural or seaside living. At ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing a marked increase in job postings and applications for these sorts of positions. A growing segment of job seekers is actively searching for “tech jobs by the sea” or “AI remote countryside,” driven by a desire for better work-life balance, lower living costs, and a healthier lifestyle. And it’s not just employees who stand to benefit; employers eager to attract top-tier AI talent are discovering that offering remote or flexible roles widens their candidate pool and enhances diversity. If you’re enticed by the idea of logging off from a day of coding neural networks and taking a stroll along a coastal path—or stepping outside your converted barn in Northumberland to soak in some fresh country air—this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore the benefits and challenges of rural-remote AI jobs, the specific roles best suited for remote work, and how to position yourself for success in this rapidly evolving sector.

When Qubits Fuel Neural Networks: The Emerging Frontier of Quantum-Enhanced AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has soared to unimaginable heights over the last few years, revolutionising sectors ranging from healthcare and finance to logistics and entertainment. But while deep learning models have grown more sophisticated and powerful, they remain tied to the limitations of classical computing systems. Enter quantum computing, a burgeoning field that leverages qubits—quantum bits—to achieve processing speeds that could leave even today’s most advanced supercomputers in the dust. What if we combined these two forces? Quantum-enhanced AI aims to integrate quantum hardware and algorithms into AI workflows, potentially unlocking efficiencies and capabilities that are currently out of reach. Although this domain is still in its infancy, experts predict it could reshape entire industries in the not-so-distant future. For professionals in AI, this is more than just an interesting development; it’s a pivotal shift that could spawn new roles, research areas, and opportunities. In this thought-leadership piece, we will: Outline the basics of quantum computing and why it matters to AI. Examine how quantum resources might supercharge neural networks. Highlight the career paths at the intersection of quantum and machine learning. Discuss the long-term outlook and what it means for AI professionals looking to stay ahead. Whether you’re already immersed in AI or just beginning to explore its potential, strap in—this new frontier promises a radical transformation.
