Applied AI Engineer, Beneficial Deployments (Clinical Development, Rare and Neglected Diseases)Active£225K

The opportunity

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

What you'll do

  • Work with partners' trial teams to design, review and prioritise clinical: trials with Claude: drafting and reviewing protocols and statistical analysis plans, and flagging enrolment and operational risks.

  • Build and validate tools that help partners find new uses for approved,: mostly off-patent medicines in rare and neglected diseases, from literature, omics and patient data, and assemble the evidence so the partner can decide the next step.

  • Build reusable infrastructure other institutions can adopt (MCP servers for: biomedical data sources, agent skills, benchmarks grounded in real clinical questions), and feed what you learn in the field back to product, engineering and research.

  • Hands-on clinical development experience: designing, running or analysing clinical trials, or assessing clinical evidence to decide which programmes go forward (for example due diligence or asset evaluation). Drug repurposing work as part of that is a strong plus, as is having contributed to a regulatory submission for a trial.

  • Comfort with biomedical data: literature, omics, and real-world patient data (health records, registries, claims), ideally inside secure or trusted research environments.

  • Strong engineering skills: you can take an LLM-powered tool from prototype to production code, and write evals to measure it.

What they're looking for

  • Experience working directly with external partners or customers in a technical role.
  • Clear written and verbal communication: docs other institutes can use without you, and results clinicians trust.
  • A scrappy mentality: you're comfortable in ambiguity, wear several hats, and do what it takes to get a result for a partner.
