About Relation

Relation is an end-to-end biotech company developing transformational medicines, with technology at our core. Our ambition is to understand human biology in unprecedented ways, discovering therapies to treat some of life’s most devastating diseases. We leverage single-cell multi-omics directly from patient tissue, functional assays, and machine learning to drive disease understanding—from cause to cure.

This year, we embarked on an exciting dual collaboration with GSK to tackle fibrosis and osteoarthritis, while also advancing our own internal osteoporosis programme. By combining our cutting-edge ML capabilities with GSK’s deep expertise in drug discovery, this partnership underscores our commitment to pioneering science and delivering impactful therapies to patients.

We are rapidly scaling our technology and discovery teams, offering a unique opportunity to join one of the most innovative TechBio companies. Be part of our dynamic, interdisciplinary teams, collaborating closely to redefine the boundaries of possibility in drug discovery.

Opportunity

Be part of the innovative Turing team, where you will leverage advanced computational technologies such as large language models (LLMs) and knowledge graphs (KGs). As a Senior/Principal Data Scientist, you will play a pivotal role in driving data-driven drug discovery through these cutting-edge approaches.

The Turing team integrates computational and biological expertise to utilise knowledge graphs and Large Language Models in drug discovery. By connecting diverse datasets and computational outputs, the team enhances decision-making in target prioritisation and therapeutic development.

Your responsibilities

  • Develop and apply Graph and LLM base solutions/methods for drug target identification and validation.
  • Integrate insights from omics and clinical data using graph-based models.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to align computational approaches with research goals.
  • Design workflows to extract actionable insights from large-scale datasets.
  • Advance methodologies for computational drug discovery using graph-based techniques.

Professionally, you have

  • PhD in computational biology, data science, or a related field.
  • Expertise in LLMs, KGs, multi-agent reasoning systems or graph-based computational techniques.
  • Proficiency in Python and frameworks for handling large-scale datasets.
  • Strong understanding of the drug discovery pipeline and computational modelling.

Desirable knowledge or experiences

  • Experience integrating graph-based approaches with multi-omics data.
  • Familiarity with graph database systems and their applications in biology.

Personally, you are

  • Inclusive leader and team player.
  • Clear communicator.
  • Driven by impact.
  • Humble and hungry to learn.
  • Motivated and curious.
  • Passionate about making a difference in patients’ lives.

Join us in this exciting role, where your contributions will directly impact advancing our understanding of genetics and disease risk, supporting our mission to deliver transformative medicines to patients. Together, we’re not just conducting research—we’re setting new standards in the fields of machine learning and genetics.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

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.
