Data Scientist

You will utilise your experience to analyse complex data sets,develop computational models, and build machine learning algorithms to support with the development of novel diagnostic platforms.

Client Details

The client are an innovative biotech developing cutting-edge biosensors for use in diagnostics and biomarker discovery applications.

Description

As a Data Scientist you will:

• Develop computational models to analyse correlation between test data and performance, supporting with optimisation of products
• Support the development of a MySQL-based engineering database, integrating real-time sensor and assay performance data
• Implement multivariate computational models (e.g., Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Partial Least Squares (PLS)) to identify key measurement variables within complex electrochemical datasets.
• Develop non-linear regression models to improve the accuracy of immunoassay data analysis.
• Apply machine learning techniques, including Random Forest and neural networks, to classify sample types based on electrochemical measurements, supporting biomarker discovery
• Design and optimise predictive models to identify novel biomarker panels, combining healthcare data and biomarker signatures.
• Develop AI-driven classification models to differentiate between patient sub-types based on electrochemical sensor outputs.

The role is site-based in the central belt of Scotland

Profile

To be successful in the role you will:

• PhD or MSc in Mathematics, Physics or related field
• Strong experience in computational modelling, data analysis, and machine learning techniques.
• Proficiency in Python, R, MATLAB, or other statistical programming languages.
• Knowledge of multivariate analysis techniques (e.g., PCA, PLS) and non-linear regression models.
• Experience developing predictive machine learning algorithms (e.g., Random Forest, Neural Networks).
• Proficiency in SQL (preferably MySQL) and database management for engineering data storage
• Experience working with biomedical data science, bioinformatics or diagnostics is desired but not essential
