At GSK we see a world in which advanced applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) will allow us to develop new medicines and vaccines with greater speed and efficacy. GSK is a unique company with world leading pharmaceutical and vaccines research and development organizations and a global health focus.
Infectious disease remains a constant unmet medical need, and due to the nature of pathogen resistance the need for resistance surveillance and rapid drug development remains constant.
The lead for AIML Infectious disease will be responsible for the development of models for emerging strain prediction and vaccine design, machine learning models for translational research and target discovery and clinical response. The lead will work directly with existing groups within the GSK AIML organization, particularly the sequence learning, cellular imaging and biomedical AI groups.
The lead will work on data generation and active learning for strain pathogenicity using a coupled lab in the loop, advise on data collection for surveillance on a global scale, and design standards. The group will produce models for next strain prediction and maintain the models derived from such data.
Working closely with the infectious disease research unit and other AIML functions the lead will provide support for AIML approaches for target discovery and integration of clinical data leading to models for pathogen sensitivity and response. The lead will also advise on the development of AIML aspects of diagnostic or decision support.
Competitive candidates will have a track record in developing state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning models for solving challenging real world scientific problems. You should be an outstanding scientist with in-depth knowledge in modern machine learning. You can convert biological/drug discovery challenges into well-defined machine learning problems. You can independently execute and deliver full AI/ML driven solutions from sourcing training data, design and implementing SOTA machine learning models, testing, benchmarking and product driven research for model performance improvement, to shipping stable, tested, performant code and services in an agile environment.
The AI/ML team is built on the principles of ownership, accountability, continuous development, and collaboration. We hire for the long term, and we're motivated to make this a great place to work. Our leaders will be committed to your career and development from day one.
Why you? Basic Qualifications: We are looking for professionals with these required skills to achieve our goals:
PhD in Machine Learning or Computer Science MD with infectious disease experience Experience with biological data (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics) and data standards. Experience in developing ML models for emerging strain prediction. Experience in design, development and deployment of AI/ML software Experience with standard deep learning algorithms and model architectures Experience in PyTorch, Tensorflow, or other deep learning frameworks. and DevOps stack: version control, CI/CD, containerization, etc. Preferred Qualifications: If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:
Peer reviewed publications in major AI conferences Familiarity with current deep learning literature and mathematics of machine learning Track record of contributing to open-source projects Mentality of commit early and often, metrics before models, and shipping high quality production #GSK-LI
The annual base salary for new hires in this position ranges from $153,000 to $207,000 taking into account a number of factors including work location, the candidate's skills, experience, education level and the market rate for the role. In addition, this position offers an annual bonus and eligibility to participate in our share based long term incentive program which is dependent on the level of the role. Available benefits include health care and other insurance benefits (for employee and family), retirement benefits, paid holidays, vacation, and paid caregiver/parental and medical leave.

Why GSK? Uniting science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. GSK is a global biopharma company with a special purpose – to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together – so we can positively impact the health of billions of people and deliver stronger, more sustainable shareholder returns – as an organisation where people can thrive. We prevent and treat disease with vaccines, specialty and general medicines. We focus on the science of the immune system and the use of new platform and data technologies, investing in four core therapeutic areas (infectious diseases, HIV, respiratory/ immunology and oncology).
Our success absolutely depends on our people. While getting ahead of disease together is about our ambition for patients and shareholders, it's also about making GSK a place where people can thrive. We want GSK to be a place where people feel inspired, encouraged and challenged to be the best they can be. A place where they can be themselves – feeling welcome, valued, and included. Where they can keep growing and look after their wellbeing. So, if you share our ambition, join us at this exciting moment in our journey to get Ahead Together.
