Ai jobs in United Kingdom

Radcliffe Department of Medicine, MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, MRC Molecular Haematology Unit, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford. We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Research Scientist with strong AI/machine learning expertise to join the research group of Professor Jim Hughes. The primary focus of the project is to identify causal non-coding changes in the human genome and their linked genes which underlie a spectrum of common diseases. The initial focus will be on non-coding genetics of the haematological cellular niche.

• Designing, developing and implementing high-throughput bioinformatics and machine-learning solutions to analyse large-scale genomic and transcriptomic datasets (bulk and single-cell), with the aim of linking DNA sequence and chromatin features to gene regulation and expression.
• Translate mathematical and AI concepts into robust, well-engineered pipelines that run reproducibly at scale on HPC/cloud environments, with emphasis on interpretability, uncertainty estimation and generating mechanistic hypotheses.

• Postgraduate degree (MSc) or greater in computer science, bioinformatics, or a related computational discipline with experience and demonstrable background in analysing complex biological data.
• Essential requirements include expertise in machine learning libraries (TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch), strong programming skills (Python and R), experience with statistical and mathematical methods for AI in high-dimensional spaces, and proficiency in developing reproducible computational pipelines for HPC/cloud environments.
• Experience with AI explainability methods, Git repositories, GPU acceleration, and the ability to draft manuscripts for publication are also required.
