Become part of a multidisciplinary team driving groundbreaking innovation and contribute to our ambitious goals within an inspiring, collaborative, and entrepreneurial culture.

Your Impact

As a Research Scientist in Quantum Chemistry and Machine Learning, you will build greenfield machine learning models and algorithms to transform drug discovery. You will work in a highly creative, fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment, collaborating with engineers and scientists to simulate biochemistry computationally, developing predictive models critical to our success. You will leverage your research experience, applying novel techniques to computational biology and chemistry challenges, leading projects that predict experimental quantities and generate data for training algorithms.

What You Will Do

  • Use your expertise in theoretical chemistry to run accurate simulations for drug development projects.
  • Develop computational infrastructure for large-scale simulations on cloud platforms.
  • Create synthetic datasets to enhance ML model performance.
  • Present research findings clearly to multidisciplinary teams.
  • Collaborate with scientists and domain experts, sharing your experience.
  • Lead and contribute to team projects, fostering a diverse and inclusive research environment.

Depending on Your Experience

  • Mentor and guide ML research community, shaping research roadmap.
  • Support development of fellow ML scientists.
  • Lead ML research projects, promoting collaboration and diversity.

Essential Skills and Qualifications

  • PhD or equivalent in a technical field.
  • Proven experience applying computational chemistry in research.
  • Strong knowledge of biology, chemistry, or physics.
  • Exposure to applied ML research.

Nice to Have

  • PhD in chemistry or physics.
  • Research experience, publications, or contributions to ML codebases.
  • Experience with ML frameworks (JAX, PyTorch, TensorFlow) and scientific software (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas).
  • Knowledge of linear algebra, calculus, and statistics.
  • Experience with biological or chemical data and datasets.
  • Experience with ML on accelerators.
  • Knowledge in deep learning, generative models, graph neural networks, RL, or related fields.

Culture and Values

We are guided by shared values: curiosity, creativity, care, fearlessness, initiative, integrity, determination, collaboration, and impact. We foster an environment of learning, support, and diversity, aiming to make a meaningful difference in healthcare.

Hybrid Working

We follow a hybrid model, requiring in-office presence 3 days a week (typically Tuesday, Wednesday, and one other day). We are open to discussing accommodations for additional needs.

How to Present Quantum Computing Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Quantum computing is one of the most advanced, promising—and misunderstood—fields in technology. While the science behind quantum algorithms, qubits, and entanglement is complex, your ability to explain it clearly is becoming a core skill for anyone pursuing a job in the sector. Whether you're applying for a quantum software developer role, a research position, or a client-facing solution engineer post, many UK employers now assess your ability to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences—especially funders, executives, policy-makers, and clients. This guide will help you structure your presentations, simplify quantum concepts, use effective visuals, and deliver with confidence. Because in quantum computing, how you communicate is just as important as what you compute.
