• Macclesfield
• On-site
• Permanent

Collects environmental monitoring and cleaning validation samples in sterile manufacturing facilities, then performs microbiological and QC testing such as bioburden, endotoxin, concentration and conductivity analysis. Manages the full sample lifecycle in LIMS, reviews monitoring plans, investigates out-of-specification results and GMP-assesses data. Works a continuous two-week rotating pattern of 11-hour day shifts.

LIMS

• Church Stretton
• Senior

Technical lead role driving innovation in polymeric and silica particle technologies for chromatography, diagnostics and biopharma consumables. Involves independently designing and executing complex polymer synthesis, particle manufacture and surface functionalization, plus technology transfer from lab-scale prototypes to full production. Acts as internal consultant and escalation point for critical materials issues, mentors scientists and shapes long-term technology strategy.

• London
• Mid-level
• Permanent

Designs and implements generative models that learn intervention effects from single-cell perturbation and multiomic data, focusing on counterfactual prediction and experimental design. Works in interdisciplinary teams alongside experimental biologists to validate computational hypotheses and guide the highest-signal next experiments, with emphasis on causal coherence and real-world utility over benchmark fit.

• London
• Senior
• Permanent

Develops and benchmarks machine learning models for DNA sequence, regulatory elements and genetic variation, including variant effect prediction and representation learning. Integrates sequence-derived representations with transcriptomic, epigenomic and perturbational data to uncover disease mechanisms and support target prioritisation, working within the interdisciplinary Rosalind team.
