Job Description

As an Investigator in the Protein Design & Informatics (PDI) team, you will focus on developing, integrating, and embedding advanced computational methods and predictive in silico models that accelerate discovery of medicines.  Included in the larger Data & Predictive Sciences department, you’ll be working daily with a diverse group of data/ML scientists, cheminformaticians, bioinformaticians, and many others, to impact from target discovery to the clinic - all stages of a therapeutic project. 

Data & Predictive Sciences will only be successful by working in close collaboration with Research Technologies, Therapy Areas, GSK Tech, AIML, Vaccines, Risk & Compliance, and across lines within the function itself, and by developing and fostering a high-performing team culture of collaboration, curiosity, consistency, agility, quality, peer review, and continuous improvement with a relentless focus on creating medicines for patients.

We create a place where people can grow, be their best, be safe, and feel welcome, valued and included. We offer a competitive salary, an annual bonus based on company performance, healthcare and wellbeing programmes, pension plan membership, and shares and savings programme.

We embrace modern work practises; our Performance with Choice programme offers a hybrid working model, empowering you to find the optimal balance between remote and in-office work.
