## About the Role

The ideal applicant will be a developer with a strong interested in building Scientific Software and prior experience of software development within academia. You should have the ability and enthusiasm to acquire new skills across the ML-Ops and Bioinformatics fields. We expect good software development skills in a least one language regularly used in scientific computing (i.e. Julia, Python, etc) and you should have an interest in good practice in software development (e.g. source control, testing, etc). We focus mainly on Python but adaptability across languages is a bonus. Eventually, you will be expected to lead the development of large long standing software engineering project, so an interest in developing skill in application design is a must.

## Description

In this project you will take the lead on the UCL Computer Science Bioinformatics Group's portion of the IntegraTED project. There are three principle objectives in this portion of the project. In the first objective we wish to increase the reliability and performance of the existing ML workflows that underpin the PSIPRED workbench. One target here is to integrate novel bioinformatics foundation models to accelerate methods already available via the PSIPRED Workbench. The Second major objective is to work extensively on a new web interface for the IntegraTED resource. Here you will work closely with the CATH team on our planned unified web and data portal. The third major objective is to work on the TED data generation pipeline. The successful applicant for this project will work on all of these theme areas with the possibility of working on novel ML applications in this space and will importantly take the lead on developing and maintaining the PSIPRED Workbench.
