Oxford PharmaGenesis is looking for a talented and motivated Data Scientist to join our team. As a Data Scientist, you will be responsible for delivering client-ready healthcare-focused AI and data science projects. This role involves leading the technical delivery of specialist AI projects, including large language models, natural language processing, knowledge graphs, semantic data modelling and advanced analytics. You will support project scoping, technical planning and the development of innovative data solutions. You will also help to develop the capabilities and skills of other colleagues, and you will contribute to the future direction of our AI and Data Science Team.

This role requires exceptional communication skills for client-facing interactions, with both technical and non-technical audiences, and project management and scoping abilities. You should be able to work autonomously while collaborating effectively, and you will have excellent attention to detail and the ability to meet the highest quality standards.

Ideally, you will be based in either of our Oxford offices; however, you could also be based in one of our other UK offices (London, Cardiff or Cambridge).

We are looking for a Data Scientist who has:

  • a degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent experience (e.g. bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science). A PhD is preferred, preferably in life sciences
  • prior experience in a biomedical/pharmaceutical or medical communications environment
  • expert-level proficiency in Python and/or R
  • a strong foundation in data manipulation and analysis (pandas, tidyverse)
  • experience in version control systems (Git) and collaborative development practices
  • an understanding of databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) and data architecture principles
  • proficiency in data visualization and dashboard creation.

Pre-Employment Checks for Data Science Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in data science reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of statistical analysis, machine learning innovation, and strategic business intelligence. Data scientists often have privileged access to comprehensive datasets, proprietary algorithms, and business-critical insights that form the foundation of organisational strategy and competitive positioning. The data science industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning GDPR, sector-specific data protection requirements, and emerging AI governance regulations. Data scientists must demonstrate not only technical competence in statistical modelling and machine learning but also deep understanding of research ethics, data privacy principles, and the societal implications of algorithmic decision-making. Modern data science roles frequently involve analysing personally identifiable information, financial data, healthcare records, and sensitive business intelligence across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of analytical privilege, predictive capabilities, and strategic influence makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, security, and public trust in data-driven insights and automated systems.
