Job Description
What the Job Involves
As a Machine Learning Scientist, your primary role would be to design and implement advanced machine learning techniques to analyze DNA and genetic data.
Responsibilities:
* Analyze Genetic Data: Work with DNA and genetic information to uncover patterns and insights that could lead to new medical treatments.
* Develop Machine Learning Models: Create algorithms that can predict how diseases develop or how patients might respond to certain treatments.
* Collaborate with Scientists: Work closely with biologists and other researchers to ensure that the computational models align with biological realities.
Requirements:
1. A PhD in machine learning, computational biology, or a related field, or equivalent industrial experience.
2. Demonstrated experience applying machine learning techniques to DNA or genetic data. Alternatively, expertise in using transformers for biological data, such as DNA, protein, or evolutionary-scale modelling.
3. Proficiency in Python and at least one ML platform (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
4. Strong understanding of transformers and their applications in biomedical research.
