  • Passion for optimization:They possess in-depth knowledge of ML libraries, hardware interactions, and optimization techniques for model training, inference speed, and validation metrics performance.
  • Mission-driven and curious:Motivated by the opportunity to make a positive global impact, they approach problems with relentless curiosity and adaptability.
  • Adaptability in dynamic environments:They thrive in fast-paced settings, achieving goals efficiently and effectively.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in computational biology or protein design:Experience with ML-driven projects in biology is advantageous.
  • Natural science background:Academic training in fields like physics, biology, or chemistry is a plus.

Key responsibilities

Develop machine learning models with real-world applications (~90%):

  • Curate and manage training and evaluation data.
  • Design and implement ML evaluation metrics aligned with organizational goals.
  • Rapidly prototype generative models and perform detailed analyses of their performance.
  • Collaborate with researchers, engineers, and designers, maintaining a high-quality codebase.
  • Support the maintenance of compute and ML infrastructure.
  • Coordinate with biology teams for wet lab testing campaigns and conduct model inferences for biological target testing.
  • Incorporate feedback from wet lab results to refine and improve models.

Engage in self-development (~10%):

  • Stay updated on the latest ML research and advancements.
  • Develop a strong understanding of protein and cell biology.
  • Share knowledge by organizing and presenting in reading groups or at conferences.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
