Biotechnology Jobs

Ellison Institute of Technology · Oxford

Builds and leads a molecular biology and synthetic biology function within a plant science institute, setting technical strategy for high-throughput assays, sequencing-based readouts, CRISPR guide design and multiplex editing. Acts as a responsive core facility, coaching scientists on experimental design and integrating with bioinformatics, tissue culture and phenotyping teams. Combines deep technical direction with people leadership rather than routine bench work.

Evotec · Abingdon

Leads Evotec's consolidated AI Accelerator, owning machine learning, generative and agentic AI, and therapeutic hypothesis groups. Sets the AI vision and roadmap, makes build/buy/partner decisions for the AI stack, and turns proprietary multi-omics and experimental data into predictive models and reusable IP. Acts as the senior external technical voice for AI in drug discovery.

Evotec · Macclesfield

Designs and executes work plans for early drug discovery projects within a Protein Sciences team, supporting multiple projects and presenting results to clients. Hands-on role focused on recombinant protein expression using insect cell systems such as BEVS, S2 and Sf9, including construct design, baculovirus generation and troubleshooting difficult targets like membrane proteins.

Nuclera · Cambridge

Formulate, dispense and quality-control reagents for a protein discovery platform, operating lab equipment such as pipettes, centrifuges and UPLC systems. The role covers batch documentation, inventory management via ERP and troubleshooting production deviations, working closely with R&D, QA and Supply Chain in a fast-paced lab environment.

CSL · Maidenhead · US$212,000 – US$251,000 pa

Leads the full statistical contribution to a clinical development programme, defining statistical strategy for trial design, analysis and regulatory submissions, and representing Biostatistics in interactions with the FDA, EMA and PMDA. Also manages outsourcing to CROs/FSPs and contributes to governance and development-plan decisions across therapeutic areas.

CSL · Haywards Heath

Oversees vendor delivery of medical evaluations for individual case safety reports, applying medical and scientific judgment on causality, expectedness and seriousness. Trains Medical Evaluators, sets assessment frameworks and drives process improvements across Global Safety and Pharmacovigilance. Requires deep pharmacovigilance knowledge and cross-functional stakeholder work.

Isomorphic Labs · London

Contribute to the design of novel large-molecule therapeutics by applying computational and machine learning methods to predict biologics properties such as affinity, developability and immunogenicity from sequence. Work within an interdisciplinary computational sciences team alongside ML and biologics discovery experts, benchmarking models, analysing lab data and shaping data-generation strategies for active learning.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals · Oxford

Lead the DMPK team at Vertex's Oxford site, shaping strategy and operations while sitting on both the Global DMPK and Oxford Site leadership teams. The role directs ADME science across discovery and development programmes, partners with Medicinal Chemistry, Biology, Preclinical Safety and Clinical Pharmacology, and oversees regulatory documentation such as INDs and marketing applications. It combines deep small-molecule DMPK expertise with hiring, mentoring and resource planning.

Moderna · Oxford

Designs and delivers immunogenicity and bioanalytical strategies for regulated clinical programmes, developing ADA, nAb, PK and PD assays using ELISA, MSD and cell culture. Works with multidisciplinary teams to validate assays, manage reagents and SOPs, and integrate digital and AI-enabled tools. Site-based at Harwell within a growing mRNA-focused team.

IQVIA · Cambridge

A senior scientific leadership role shaping and delivering a drug discovery strategy, driving adoption of AI-assisted design, predictive modelling, automation and computational science across a diverse portfolio. The post-holder mentors multidisciplinary teams spanning biology, chemistry, protein design, pharmacology and translational sciences, and acts as a scientific ambassador in client engagements, proposals and partnerships.

Moderna · Oxford

Develops, validates and runs ligand-binding and cell-based bioanalytical assays generating pharmacodynamic and immunogenicity data for clinical mRNA programmes. Works in a GcLP-regulated lab using Thermo Watson LIMS and electronic notebooks, handling clinical samples, critical reagents, SOPs and validation reports while partnering with Clinical Operations and Sample Management.
