Scientist - Data / Machine Learning

Overview

Pictura Bio is a well-funded University of Oxford spin-out developing a novel diagnostic platform for rapid pathogen detection. Our technology combines fluorescence microscopy with automated image analysis and machine learning to identify pathogens in seconds. The platform is being translated into clinical diagnostic products, initially focused on respiratory infections, with broader applications across infectious disease.

Role Purpose

The Machine Learning Scientist will develop, evaluate, and maintain imaging-based classification models that underpin Pictura Bio’s diagnostic platform. Working closely with assay scientists and engineers, you will analyse microscopy datasets, build robust and reproducible ML pipelines, and translate experimental data into validated diagnostic insights.

This role sits at the interface of data, biology, and regulated product development. We strongly prefer candidates who can work on site, collaborating closel...
