Your new company
You will be joining a growing biotech company in Oxfordshire focused on developing new approaches within immunology and infectious diseases. They have a highly innovative approach and a dynamic, collaborative work environment with a highly experienced team and senior leadership. This biotech is looking to hire an experienced bioinformatician to join their growing team.

Your new role
You will be working with the bioinformatics leadership as well as the wider team on a variety of research projects across the drug discovery and development lifecycle.
The company has a hybrid working policy with an expectation of 2 days/week in the office.
Main responsibilities will include:

  • Hands-on analysis and interpretation of transcriptomic (bulk RNAseq) and NGS data sets, as well as potentially other omics data
  • Run existing tools and pipelines and optimise these where necessary, eg implementing a new tool or potentially developing new ones
  • Work closely with other bioinformatics and wet lab scientists on research problems to identify new approaches and solutions
  • Apply deep knowledge of bioinformatic techniques to solve complex problems.
  • Identify new data sources and analytical solutions
  • Lead projects through proactive team participation and collaboration with senior research representatives


What you'll need to succeed

  • A PhD / MSc (or equivalent experience) in a subject such as bioinformatics, computational biology, data science, biology, statistics or similar
  • A strong track record of analysing transcriptomic (either bulk RNAseq or scRNAseq) and other NGS data sets
  • An understanding of molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, or related fields, preferably with knowledge of infectious diseases, protein science or oncology
  • Significant independent research experience in academia or industry, with a preference for hands-on experience within a pharmaceutical, biotech or CRO/consultancy company
  • Good programming/scripting skills in R/BioConductor and/or Python, as well as shell scripting (Bash) and a familiarity with Linux systems
  • Experience building NGS pipelines and/or helping to develop database systems using SQL or similar
  • Good communication and team-working skills and an interest in solving complex problems


Experience of antibody / immune receptor analysis or cell therapy approaches is an advantage but is not required for the role.

What you'll get in return
You'll have the chance to make a significant impact on an innovative biotech business and their drug pipeline. The role also offers a good daily rate and flexible/hybrid working options.

Negotiating Your AI Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven itself to be one of the most transformative forces in today’s business world. From smart chatbots in customer service to predictive analytics in finance, AI technologies are reshaping how organisations operate and innovate. As the demand for AI professionals grows, so does the complexity of compensation packages. If you’re a mid‑senior AI professional, you’ve likely seen job offers that include far more than just a base salary—think equity, bonuses, and a range of perks designed to entice you into joining or staying with a company. For many, the focus remains squarely on salary. While that’s understandable—after all, your monthly take‑home pay is what covers day-to-day expenses—limiting your negotiations to salary alone can leave considerable value on the table. From stock options in ambitious startups to sign‑on bonuses that ‘buy you out’ of your current contract, modern AI job offers often include elements that can significantly boost your long-term wealth and job satisfaction. This article aims to shed light on the full scope of AI compensation—specifically focusing on how equity, bonuses, and perks can enhance (or sometimes detract from) the overall value of your package. We’ll delve into how these elements work in practice, what to watch out for, and how to navigate the negotiation process effectively. Our goal is to provide mid‑senior AI professionals with the insights and tools to land a holistic compensation deal that accurately reflects their technical expertise, leadership potential, and strategic importance in this fast-moving field. Whether you’re eyeing a leadership role in machine learning at an established tech giant, or you’re considering a pioneering position at a disruptive AI startup, the knowledge in this guide will help you weigh the merits of base salary alongside the potential riches—and risks—of equity, bonuses, and other benefits. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how to align your compensation with both your immediate lifestyle needs and long-term career aspirations.
