Our ambition is to understand human biology in unprecedented ways, discovering therapies to treat some of life’s most devastating diseases. We leverage single-cell multi-omics from patient tissue, functional assays, and machine learning to drive disease understanding, from cause to cure.\nWe are scaling rapidly and building a team of exceptional individuals to push the boundaries of drug discovery. You will work in highly interdisciplinary teams where biology, computation, and engineering come together to solve complex problems that have not been solved before. Our state-of-the-art wet and dry labs in the heart of London are designed to accelerate this integration and translate insight into impact.\nWe are committed to building diverse and inclusive teams. Relation is an equal opportunities employer and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, gender reassignment, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, disability, or age.\nBy joining Relation, you will help define how medicines are discovered and deliver meaningful impact for patients.\nThe opportunity\nThis is a unique opportunity for a senior data scientist to work on DNA sequence modelling, statistical machine learning, and functional genomics in support of target discovery and mechanism elucidation. You will develop and apply computational models that connect genetic variation and regulatory DNA sequence to downstream molecular phenotypes, cellular programmes, and disease biology. Embedded within the Rosalind team you will build and evaluate models that link sequence to function - including variant effect prediction,regulatory activity modelling and representation learning for genomic data.\nDay to Day you will:\nDevelop and implement machine learning models for DNA sequence, regulatory elements, and genetic variation in disease-relevant contexts.\n\nBuild, evaluate and benchmark models for sequence-to-function tasks such as variant effect prediction, regulatory activity prediction, and the interpretation of non-coding disease signals.\n\nIntegrate sequence-derived representations with transcriptomic, epigenomic, and perturbational datasets to uncover disease mechanisms and support target prioritisation.\n\nPartner closely with experimental and machine learning researchers to validate hypotheses, interpret results, and guide downstream studies.\n\nCommunicate findings clearly to internal stakeholders, including presenting methods, results, and recommendations.\n\nContribute to publications, scientific communications, and project documentation, supporting scientific excellence and external visibility.\n\nProfessionally, you will have\nPhD in computational biology, machine learning, statistics, genomics, bioinformatics, or a related quantitative discipline.\n\nPost-PhD experience, ideally including time in an industry, biotech, or pharmaceutical environment.\n\nExperience with DNA language models, genomic foundation models, or transformer-based sequence models.\n\nUnderstanding of statistical machine learning and probabilistic modelling, with experience selecting and evaluating appropriate modelling approaches for complex biological datasets.\n\nKnowledge of statistical genetics methods (e.g fine-mapping, colocalisation,, or variant to gene approaches).\n\nHigh proficiency in Python (preferred) and R, with experience working in high-performance computing environments.\n\nAbility to operate independently, driving projects from concept through delivery.\n\nBonus experience:\nFamiliarity with single-cell transcriptomics or patient-derived datasets.\n\nExperience working in interdisciplinary teams within biotech or pharma settings.\n\nExperience integrating machine learning models with genomics, single-cell, or perturbation datasets.\n\nFamiliarity with 3D genome / chromatin interaction data where relevant (Hi-C, Capture-C, etc.).\n\nPersonally, you:\nAre comfortable working in a matrixed environment, balancing multiple stakeholders and contributing effectively across teams.\n\nTake ownership of your work, proactively seek opportunities to contribute, and enable others to do their best work.\n\nCommunicate openly and directly, give and receive feedback constructively, and handle challenging conversations with respect.\n\nActively seek out diverse perspectives, build strong working relationships, and contribute to shared goals across teams.\n\nEmbrace challenges with openness and resilience, set high standards for yourself, and strive to deliver meaningful outcomes.\n\nWorking Style & Culture at Relation\nAt Relation, we operate in a matrixed, interdisciplinary environment, where impact is driven through collaboration across scientific, technical, and operational domains. We collaborate, and you will partner with colleagues across multiple teams and projects, contributing your expertise while aligning to shared company priorities. We work together and win together!\nThe patient is waiting!\nRECRUITMENT AGENCIES: Please note that Relation does not accept unsolicited resumes from agencies. Resumes should not be forwarded to our job aliases or employees. Relation will not be liable for any fees associated with unsolicited CVs.\nRelation is a committed equal opportunities employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5390,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Bioinformatics","Genomics & Genetic Testing","Drug Discovery","Drug Discovery AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:34:53Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker, Senior or Specialist Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker; Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-24T06:24:00+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":31,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.705,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":114,"expected_fill_days":77,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/relation-therapeutics-snr-data-scientist-computational-genomicsdna-modelling","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/relation-therapeutics-snr-data-scientist-computational-genomicsdna-modelling.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T09:20:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12562,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":172408},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=172408"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frelation-therapeutics-snr-data-scientist-computational-genomicsdna-modelling"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frelation-therapeutics-snr-data-scientist-computational-genomicsdna-modelling"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frelation-therapeutics-snr-data-scientist-computational-genomicsdna-modelling"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/relation-therapeutics-snr-data-scientist-computational-genomicsdna-modelling\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frelation-therapeutics-snr-data-scientist-computational-genomicsdna-modelling"}]}
