About Us

The Cambridge Centre for AI Medicine (CCAIM) directed by Professor Mihaela van der Schaar and co-directed by Professor Andres Floto. We aim to innovate, educate, and influence in the areas of AI and ML for Biomedicine and Healthcare. CCAIM provides an exciting multidisciplinary research environment with strong collaborations with the WT Sanger Institute, EMBL-EBI along with the University of Cambridge Departments of Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Engineering.

About You

You will be based in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge.
Are you a highly motivated full-time Research Software Engineer? Would you like to be part of a group of researchers whose goal is to develop and apply new machine-learning methods to solve challenges in medicine?

The role

You will be responsible for designing and implementing production-quality software libraries to tackle important problems in genomics, multi-omics integration, and clinical forecasting in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary group of researchers within CCAIM.

You will design, develop, maintain and demonstrate bespoke software packages for the Cambridge Centre for AI in Medicine's (CCAIM) algorithms, models, and techniques. You will also be managing and coordinating the Open-Source community to make contributions to the packages.

Skills and Experience

You will have experience in software engineering either in the industry or academia.

The following additional skills/experience would also be an advantage:

• implementation of ML/AI algorithms as software libraries (e.g., on pip)

• contribution to open-source software projects

• experience of handling messy real-world data

• experience with graphic packages and scientific writing and the ability to work autonomously and prioritise tasks with minimal supervision.
