  • Work with large-scale data and the latest ML and NLP frameworks
  • Combine academic research with real-world application in a collaborative setting

  • Strong programming skills in Python or a similar language
  • Experience with machine learning, NLP, or statistical modelling
  • A genuine interest in applying academic research to real-world problems
  • Experience peer reviewing papers, journals etc.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Exposure to financial data or investment research is preferable

What you’ll get in return:

A salary of between £90,000 - £120,000 depending on experience. They also offer hybrid working, meaning two days from home and three in the London office.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
