Biotechnology Jobs

Ellison Institute of Technology · Oxford

Design and conduct experiments on nanopore technologies, single-molecule analysis, and 3D tissue engineering, spanning chemistry, biology, physics and engineering. Postdocs lead development of emerging biotech methods, publish impactful research, and mentor junior researchers within a 100+ researcher institute.

University of Oxford · Oxford · £39,424 – £47,779 pa

Develops cutting-edge machine learning and computer vision methods to analyse multi-omic and imaging data, identifying disease phenotypes and tissue architecture changes. Works with software engineers and data platform developers to translate research prototypes into robust, reproducible tools, bridging research and implementation.

Isomorphic Labs · London

Research engineers translate frontier research concepts into practical implementations, building and optimising state-of-the-art AI models such as Transformers, GNNs and diffusion models, plus the codebases, data pipelines and infrastructure for training and evaluation. The role sits in an interdisciplinary team of drug discovery experts and ML specialists, with a strong emphasis on experimentation, benchmarking and taking models from conception to production.

GSK · Waltham, United States · US$204,000 – US$340,000 pa

Leads the design and execution of real-world evidence and health outcomes studies for oncology assets, managing timelines, budgets and quality of protocols, analyses and publications. Advises internal medical, market access and commercial teams and external experts on evidence strategy for HTA submissions, reimbursement and value-based pricing. Requires close collaboration across a matrix and deep knowledge of real-world data sources and payer needs.

Ellison Institute of Technology · Oxford

Builds computational tools and data analysis pipelines for plant biology, working at the intersection of multi-omic analysis and software development. Integrates transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics and imaging data, developing pipelines for image segmentation, feature extraction and phenotyping, and preparing datasets for agentic workflows. Collaborates closely with bioinformaticians, research scientists and AI engineers in the Bioinformatics platform team.

Latent Labs · London

Customer-facing engineering role bridging frontier generative biology models and pharma/biotech clients. You own end-to-end deployments, building production-grade API integrations, data pipelines and model-serving infrastructure, often embedded on-site with partners, and feed customer insights back into product and research teams.

Isomorphic Labs · London

A general expression-of-interest pipeline for experienced software engineers, ML researchers and engineers, computational chemists and technical program managers. The interdisciplinary team builds predictive and generative AI models for drug design, working across therapeutic areas and modalities. Hybrid working requires three days a week in the London office.

Latent Labs · London

Architect novel generative models to design functional proteins, working in an interdisciplinary team of ML researchers, protein engineers and biologists. Split roughly 90% model building and 10% self-development, spanning data curation, evaluation metrics, prototyping, cloud training/inference and wet lab testing campaigns.

University of Oxford · Oxford

Experimental and computational support role spanning cancer vaccine epitope discovery and mRNA vaccine manufacturing. The post holder validates AI-predicted targets using immunological assays, helps develop and characterise mRNA vaccine candidates, and analyses large-scale cancer, genomic and immunological datasets with frontier AI models and agentic coding tools, working alongside immunologists, computational scientists and autonomous laboratory scientists.

Thermo Fisher Scientific · Stevenage

Primarily lab-based role operating single-use bioreactor systems to culture mammalian cells, mainly CHO lines, for upstream process research. Involves planning and troubleshooting seed train expansion, inoculation, feeding, sampling and harvest, then analysing growth, viability, metabolite and titre data. Works within a client-dedicated multidisciplinary team at a biopharmaceutical site.

Gilead Sciences · Oxford

Lead a team of scientists developing novel biologic therapies for autoimmune disease, overseeing in vitro and in vivo pharmacology studies for lead and early discovery programs. Collaborate across immunology, protein engineering, translational medicine and biomarkers to deliver data packages for progression to development, while mentoring staff and contributing to INDs and patents.

Basecamp Research · London

Owns R&D extraction workflow development, adapting and optimising metagenomic DNA/RNA extraction methods across diverse, low-biomass and inhibitor-rich sample types, including HMW extractions for long-read sequencing. Designs controlled experiments, transfers validated methods to production and a global partner network, and works in a data-first lab environment feeding a large gene atlas.

ISR Recruitment · Oxford · £520 – £532 pd

Lead a laboratory-based immunology team, designing in vitro pharmacology assays and coordinating in vivo efficacy studies with CROs to advance biologic therapies for autoimmune diseases. Involves target identification, ex vivo profiling, and cross-functional work with protein engineering, biomarkers and translational medicine, plus IND documentation and publications.

Thermo Fisher Scientific · Stevenage

Performs complex sample preparation and quantitative analysis of small molecules and biotherapeutics using instrumentation such as GC-MS, ICP-OES, HPLC and LC-MS, supporting both GMP and non-GMP stability studies. Works largely independently to set up, maintain and troubleshoot analytical instrumentation, interpret data for technical validity and compliance, and report results to client teams. Based full-time onsite at a pharmaceutical client site as part of a functional service provider partnership.
