At GSK we see a world in which advanced applications of Machine Learning and AI will allow us to develop transformational medicines using the power of genetics, functional genomics and machine learning. AI will also play a role in how we diagnose and use medicines to enable everyone to do more feel better and live longer. It is an ambitious vision that will require the development of products at the cutting edge of Machine Learning and AI.
The opportunities for machine learning extend to many other areas of our business, including medicine safety, manufacturing, and supply chain. To realize these opportunities, GSK has created a global Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning group (AI/ML), with locations in London, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Tel Aviv, and Heidelberg, to focus on the development and application of machine learning to problems of critical importance at GSK. We possess a world-leading data and computational environment (including specialist hardware) to enable large-scale, scientific experiments that exploit GSK's unique access to data.
By actively engaging with the machine learning community and publishing our research, code and models built on public data, the AI/ML group operates at the cutting-edge of machine learning research. To help us, we seek a passionate, early-career machine learning scientist who wishes to turn their talents to the healthcare sector, with a focus on immuno-oncology. You will be working with multiple Research Engineers on building products to support multiple large-scale projects within AI/ML. In addition, the researcher will learn about the pharmaceutical industry and software engineering and translate their research into tools that aid discovery and development of transformational medicines.
You will have access to outstanding experts in biology, chemistry, (software) engineering, data science and machine learning; unrivalled data sources and GSK's state-of-the-art laboratory and compute infrastructure to help you develop and validate your machine learning research.
As a Machine Learning Engineer focusing on precision medicine and immuno-oncology you will:
1. Design and implement novel scientific approaches to uncover and explain key relationships within a multitude of biological data types.
2. Leverage data and insights to produce robust, explainable, and accurate predictions across a variety of key biological and clinical tasks.
3. Connect and collaborate with subject matter experts in biology, genomics, and medicine.
4. Identify opportunities to apply the latest advancements in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to build, test, and validate predictive models.
5. Develop and embed automated processes for predictive model validation, deployment, and implementation.
6. Deploy your algorithms to production to identify actionable insights from large databases.

Why GSK?
Uniting science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together.
GSK is a global biopharma company with a special purpose - to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together - so we can positively impact the health of billions of people and deliver stronger, more sustainable shareholder returns - as an organisation where people can thrive. We prevent and treat disease with vaccines, specialty and general medicines. We focus on the science of the immune system and the use of new platform and data technologies, investing in four core therapeutic areas (infectious diseases, HIV, respiratory/ immunology and oncology).
Our success absolutely depends on our people. While getting ahead of disease together is about our ambition for patients and shareholders, it's also about making GSK a place where people can thrive. We want GSK to be a place where people feel inspired, encouraged and challenged to be the best they can be. A place where they can be themselves - feeling welcome, valued, and included. Where they can keep growing and look after their wellbeing. So, if you share our ambition, join us at this exciting moment in our journey to get Ahead Together. #J-18808-Ljbffr
