Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Cranleigh STEM, Sustainability & SHEQ Recruitment Full time
About the Role

Cranleigh STEM, Sustainability & SHEQ Recruitment is partnering with a pioneering biotech startup to find a talented Data Scientist who can drive innovation in the field of RNA technologies.

This dynamic company is revolutionizing the industry with groundbreaking advancements, and we're looking for someone with a strong background in applying machine learning techniques to real-world datasets.

Key Responsibilities
  • Data Exploration & Feature Engineering: Work with raw data, apply preprocessing techniques, and extract meaningful features to feed into machine learning models.
  • Algorithm Selection & Implementation: Research and implement suitable machine learning algorithms (e.g., decision trees, neural networks, clustering) based on problem requirements.
  • Model Evaluation & Optimisation: Evaluate model performance using appropriate metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score) and improve model performance through techniques like hyperparameter tuning, regularisation, and cross-validation.
  • Production Deployment: Deploy machine learning models into production environments, monitor their performance, and ensure scalability and reliability.
  • Collaboration: Work with researchers, and bioinformaticians to understand project requirements and deliver insights that support research and clinical decisions.
  • Reporting: Present findings through detailed reports, visualisations, and presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Documentation: Maintain thorough documentation of methodologies, experiments, and results to ensure reproducibility and knowledge sharing.
Requirements
  • Degree level qualification - Master's or Ph.D. in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Bioinformatics, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated experience in applying machine learning techniques to real-world datasets, preferably in healthcare or cancer research.
  • Proficiency in Python and related libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, pandas, numpy, matplotlib, seaborn).
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., Keras, PyTorch).
  • Hands-on experience working with high-dimensional, sparse data commonly encountered in fields such as natural language processing (e.g., text data), recommendation systems, or sensor networks.
  • Proficiency in handling missing, incomplete, or sparse data using techniques such as imputation, matrix factorization, or dimensionality reduction (e.g., PCA, SVD)
  • Strong knowledge of machine learning algorithms, especially ensemble methods like Random Forests.
  • Ability to handle complex datasets and derive actionable insights.
  • Familiarity with data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation techniques.
What We Offer

A competitive salary, company benefits, and the opportunity to join a fast-growing start-up working on groundbreaking technology.
