About the role

A UK-based biotech is looking for a skilled Bioinformatician to support proteomics data analysis and interpretation, as part of a growing team delivering next-generation biomarker discovery and predictive modelling tools for precision medicine.

This role offers the opportunity to contribute across the full lifecycle of clinical research projects – from study design through to publication and patent preparation – while working in close collaboration with wet-lab scientists, data scientists and software engineers. You’ll join a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment that values clear scientific thinking and practical problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse proteomics datasets using an internal suite of computational tools
• Develop and maintain statistical and machine learning methods to support biomarker discovery and validation
• Collaborate with wet-lab and clinical teams to guide experimental design and interpret results
• Build and maintain code that supports both research and translational efforts
• Contribute to the development of tools aimed at deploying predictive signatures in clinical settings

Ideal Candidate

• PhD (or equivalent experience) in a STEM discipline
• 3 years experience with statistical or ML methods applied to high-dimensional biological data
• 2 years experience in proteomic bioinformatics
• Strong programming skills in R (Python/C++ a bonus)
• Familiarity with biomarker discovery, LC-MS/MS data analysis, and experimental design
• Comfortable working with complex multi-modal datasets in a collaborative research environment
• Experience with phosphoproteomics data would be highly advantageous
• Experience in start-up, biotech or translational research settings
• Cloud computing or regulated environment experience
• Ability to clearly communicate results across disciplines

This is an opportunity to join an early-stage precision medicine startup with big growth plans. They’re looking for candidates who are excited by their mission and are passionate about working on innovative projects within a collaborative environment.
