Resumes should not be forwarded to our job aliases or employees. Relation will not be liable for any fees associated with unsolicited CVs. • Relation is a committed equal opportunities employer.
Responsibilities
• Develop and implement machine learning models for DNA sequence, regulatory elements, and genetic variation in disease-relevant contexts. • Build, evaluate and benchmark models for sequence-to-function tasks such as variant effect prediction, regulatory activity prediction, and the interpretation of non-coding disease signals. • Integrate sequence-derived representations with transcriptomic, epigenomic, and perturbational datasets to uncover disease mechanisms and support target prioritisation. • Partner closely with experimental and machine learning researchers to validate hypotheses, interpret results, and guide downstream studies. • Communicate findings clearly to internal stakeholders, including presenting methods, results, and recommendations. • Contribute to publications, scientific communications, and project documentation, supporting scientific excellence and external visibility. • PhD in computational biology, machine learning, statistics, genomics, bioinformatics, or a related quantitative discipline. • Post-PhD experience, ideally including time in an industry, biotech, or pharmaceutical environment. • Experience with DNA language models, genomic foundation models, or transformer-based sequence models. • Understanding of statistical machine learning and probabilistic modelling, with experience selecting and evaluating appropriate modelling approaches for complex biological datasets. • Knowledge of statistical genetics methods (e.g fine-mapping, colocalisation,, or variant to gene approaches). • High proficiency in Python (preferred) and R, with experience working in high-performance computing environments. • Ability to operate independently, driving projects from concept through delivery.
