## About the Role

As a Research Scientist, Machine Learning, you will own research problems at the intersection of modelling, reasoning and experiment automation. Your work will help power an AI-driven discovery engine by improving how the system learns from sparse, noisy and high-dimensional scientific data.You will design and prototype novel ML approaches, develop active learning and optimisation methods that decide which experiments should run next, and work closely with materials scientists and chemists to translate scientific constraints into rigorous mathematical models and loss functions. You will take ideas from theory through to proof-of-concept, establish strong baselines, and partner with engineers to scale successful approaches into production. The role is hands-on and requires both research depth and production-quality coding.Key requirements / What we look forPhD in machine learning, computer science, physics or a related field; [suggestion: 2+ years' post-PhD or equivalent industry
experience]Strong track record in novel ML research and evaluationStrong Python skills; PyTorch or equivalent, plus production-quality codeExperience with Linux, Git and HPC/cloud platforms[suggestion: experience in scientific/simulation domains, and evidence of impact through publications, open source or applied research]
