Machine Learning Scientist, Predictive Biology

**Working with Us**
Challenging. Meaningful. Life-changing. Those aren't words that are usually associated with a job. But working at Bristol Myers Squibb is anything but usual. Here, uniquely interesting work happens every day, in every department. From optimizing a production line to the latest breakthroughs in cell therapy, this is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it. You'll get the chance to grow and thrive through opportunities uncommon in scale and scope, alongside high-achieving teams. Take your career farther than you thought possible.

**Why this role?**

The **Predictive Biology & AI team** at CITRE (Seville, Spain) is looking for a **Scientist in Machine Learning** to bring both conceptual expertise and practical problem-solving to our mission. This role combines technical excellence with independence and leadership potential: you will design solutions to challenging problems, guide projects with manageable risks, and share best practices that strengthen both your team and the wider organisation.

In particular, the team is tackling pressing questions in biomedical research, such as:

- ** How can multi-modal AI methods integrate omics, imaging, and clinical data** to uncover novel disease mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities?
- ** How can predictive biology approaches help anticipate patient responses** and support precision medicine strategies?

Your contributions will directly shape how we address these questions, helping transform emerging machine learning technologies into tangible scientific and clinical impact.

**What you will do**
- ** Work independently** on projects that require collaboration with external partners, contributing to decision-making with mínimal managerial oversight.
- ** Lead and deliver projects** with clear goals, manageable risks, and appropriate use of resources, ensuring high-quality results.
- ** Be a resource for colleagues**, sharing knowledge, mentoring less experienced team members, and helping to build team capacity.
- ** Contribute to decisions** whose impact extends across your team, related teams, and external collaborators, ensuring alignment with BMS's broader objectives.

**What you bring**
- Ph.D. in Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Applied experience with both established and modern ML methods.
- Evidence of impactful projects or publications.
- Proficiency in Python and its scientific ecosystem (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn).
- Experience with at least one deep learning framework (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX).
- Ability to communicate results clearly in English, both in writing and speaking.

**Desirable extras**
- Experience with ML applied to digital pathology or radiology (2D and/or 3D).
- Postdoctoral or equivalent experience in academia or industry (1+ years).
- Familiarity with transformer-based models and self-supervised learning.
- Previous work in pharma, biotech, or healthcare research.
- Experience with multi-modal biological datasets (omics, imaging, time-series).
- Comfort with HPC clusters (e.g., SLURM) and software tools like Docker and Git.

Bristol-Myers Squibb is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to gender identity, race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin or disability.

**Uniquely Interesting Work, Life-changing Careers**

**On-site Protocol**

BMS has an occupancy structure that determines where an employee is required to conduct their work. This structure includes site-essential, site-by-design, field-based and remote-by-design jobs. The occupancy type that you are assigned is determined by the nature and responsibilities of your role:
Site-essential roles require 100% of shifts onsite at your assigned facility. Site-by-design roles may be eligible for a hybrid work model with at least 50% onsite at your assigned facility. For these roles, onsite presence is considered an essential job function and is critical to collaboration, innovation, productivity, and a positive Company culture. For field-based and remote-by-design roles the ability to physically travel to visit customers, patients or business partners and to attend meetings on behalf of BMS as directed is an essential job function.

BMS cares about your well-being and the well-being of our staff, customers, patients, and communities. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that all employees be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and keep up to date with Covid-19 boosters.

BMS will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records, pursuant to applicable laws in your area.
