What the Job Involves

As a Machine Learning Scientist, your primary role would be to design and implement advanced machine learning techniques to analyze DNA and genetic data. ​


Responsibilities:

  • Analyze Genetic Data: Work with DNA and genetic information to uncover patterns and insights that could lead to new medical treatments.​
  • Develop Machine Learning Models: Create algorithms that can predict how diseases develop or how patients might respond to certain treatments.​
  • Collaborate with Scientists: Work closely with biologists and other researchers to ensure that the computational models align with biological realities.​


Requirements:

  • APhDin machine learning, computational biology, or a related field, or equivalent industrial experience.
  • Demonstrated experience applying machine learning techniques to DNA or genetic data. Alternatively, expertise in using transformers for biological data, such as DNA, protein, or evolutionary-scale modelling.
  • Proficiency inPythonand at least one ML platform(e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
  • Experience withGraph ML/ GNN OR Single Cell Transcriptomics
  • Strong understanding oftransformersand their applications in biomedical research.
  • Knowledge of lab-in-the-loop frameworks and integration of ML techniques with experimental data.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
