About the role
We are seeking a researcher specialising in multi-omics data analysis and ML applications to join our team. The successful candidate will contribute to research initiatives using our unique datasets (particularly those in the National Genomic Research Library, NGRL), and drive innovation in the integration of multi-omics data sources. This role combines cutting-edge research with practical applications in bioinformatics, biomedical data science or related clinically-oriented areas. You will collaborate with internal teams and external partners to develop novel applications for analysing complex biological data, particularly in areas such as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to scientific publications while developing AI tooling that advances our research capabilities and ensures responsible use of our participant data.
Everyday responsibilities include:
Design and conduct research using our datasets, with a focus on multi-omics data integration techniques and applications.
Develop and implement ML approaches to extract meaningful insights from complex biological datasets to enable research in rare conditions and cancers. This includes different phases of the ML development cycle, including data pre-processing and rigorous model evaluation.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to advance research initiatives.
Evaluate and adopt AI tooling to enhance our research capabilities, with emphasis on decision support tools for ensuring data privacy and preventing data leakage from ML models.
Contribute to peer-reviewed publications and present research findings at scientific conferences.
Act as a go-to person by providing expertise on AI-enabled multi-omics data analysis to support broader company research-focused objectives.
