AI​/ML Engineer

About the Role

At GSK, we envision a future where advanced Machine Learning and AI applications drive the development of transformative medicines, leveraging genetics, functional genomics, and machine learning. AI will also be pivotal in how we diagnose and utilize medicines, empowering individuals to achieve more, feel better, and live longer. This ambitious vision necessitates the creation of products at the forefront of Machine Learning and AI.

The potential for machine learning extends across various business domains, including medicine safety, manufacturing, and supply chain. To capitalize on these opportunities, GSK has established a global Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning group (AI/ML) with locations in London, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, and Heidelberg. This group is dedicated to the development and application of machine learning to critical problems  offer a world-leading data and computational environment, including specialized hardware, to facilitate large-scale scientific experiments that leverage GSK's unique data access.

The AI/ML group actively engages with the machine learning community and publishes its research, code, and models built on public data, operating at the cutting edge of machine learning research. We are seeking a passionate AI/ML Engineer who is eager to apply their talents to active learning in the healthcare sector. You will be working in a research-focused team to build products centered on active learning and creating data-efficient models, supporting multiple large-scale projects within AI/ML.

Additionally, the Engineer will gain insights into the pharmaceutical industry and software engineering, translating their research into tools that aid the discovery and development of transformational medicines and vaccines.
