Computational Higher Scientist

NPL are seeking a highly motivated scientist with expertise in bioinformatics, computational biology, data science or a related discipline to support the development of innovative measurement solutions for complex -omics and imaging datasets. As a Higher Scientist you will have the opportunity to plan and deliver a number of technical activities to take our research to the next level.

The successful candidate will play a key role in developing creating and implementing complex data processing and analytical pipelines for mass spectrometry imaging applications. Working with large-scale hyperspectral datasets, you will innovate and apply advanced computational approaches, including statistical modelling and machine learning, to extract meaningful information related to complex biological systems and deliver robust, reproducible scientific insights.

As part of a multidisciplinary supportive team, you will collaborate with scientists, software developers, industrial partners and customers to create new capabilities and address real-world measurement challenges. You will contribute to the delivery of high-impact research projects, support the development of NPL's data science and bioinformatics capabilities, and help translate leading-edge science into practical solutions for industry and government.

As a Higher Scientist, you'll be expected to acquire new knowledge to find solutions to advance our research. Also, if commercial opportunities arise from your work, you'll need to flag these – as this is how new products and services are born. At NPL, we learn from each other, respect each other, and work together to do better for ourselves and our customers.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Sharing your learnings so that we all benefit and mentoring those with less experience than you
• Developing partnerships to strengthen our capability
• Acting as an ambassador for our work externally and being willing to promote what we do
• Providing technical support for any bids, we may be undertaking
