AIML Technical Expert – Predictive safety & multimodal biology

We have an exciting opportunity for a a scientifically rigorous and innovative AI/ML Technical Expert to advance predictive safety and strengthen early research decision-making through data-driven and mechanistic approaches. Within the role working at the interface of biology computational science and artificial intelligence you will translate priority safety questions into robust modelling strategies interpretable insights and scalable analytical capabilities. The role will contribute to the development of a predictive safety framework that enables earlier identification of risk improves mechanistic understanding and enhances the quality and confidence of decision-making across research programs. Key responsibilities will include:

• Partnering with toxicologists biologists chemists bioinformaticians and data scientists to define priority questions for predictive safety.
• Leading the development and evaluation of advanced AI/ML methodologies and predictive modelling approaches to address strategic safety questions.
• Applying machine learning artificial intelligence statistical modelling and knowledge-driven approaches to extract meaningful biological signals (such as mechanisms of toxicity AOPs and safety-related outcomes) from large complex and heterogeneous datasets.
• Translating modelling outputs into actionable scientific insight that supports project and portfolio decisions.
• Evaluating Evaluate emerging AI modelling and computational-biology methods while identifying applications that offer practical scientific value.
• Communicating complex computational findings clearly and credibly to multidisciplinary audiences.
