Data Scientist
Cambridge (1x day PW)
Up to £55,000
Health/MedTech
 
I’m supporting a long standing client in Cambridge who have had some huge success recently and need to scale their Data Science function to keep up with demand.
 
This is very much your traditional statistics focused Data Science position. I’m looking to speak to people with around 2+ years of commercial Data Science experience, heavily focused on probability and statistics.
 
You’ll be joining a genuinely lovely and talented team. It’s an opportunity to use your skills to positively impact the lives of others. Health/MedTech experience would be a nice bonus, but certainly not essential.

Responsibilities:
 
As a key member of the data science team, you’ll provide statistical expertise for clinical research, designing and refining study protocols, analysis workflows, and data pipelines. You’ll help develop advanced methodologies and visualisation tools, collaborate with clinicians to enhance statistical processes, and partner with internal and external stakeholders to deliver data-driven solutions.
 
Essential experience:

Python.
Git for version control.
Classical statistics.
Hypothesis testing (parametric and non-parametric).
Survival analysis techniques (Cox regression, etc).
Linear or logistics regression models.
Exposure to small datasets, not just large (very important). 
Desirable experience:

Familiarity with pharma/health/medical datasets.
Mixed effects models – ability to use matching techniques to create synthetic arms in clinical trials.
BSc or MSc Mathematics (statistic focus).
The office is located just five minutes from Cambridge train station, and you’ll only need to be on-site once a week (more if you wish), so it’s suitable for people who live a commutable distance from Cambridge.
 
Finally, in a world of 4-6 stage interview processes, you’ll be pleased to hear this is just 3 stages consisting of a 30 min pre screening call, one hour technical and a final culture fit interview which is done in person.

Rural-Remote Medical Technology Jobs: Thriving Beyond Urban Hubs

A Fresh Outlook for Medical Technology Professionals When people think of medical technology (MedTech) roles—whether that’s in digital health, medical devices, or health-tech innovation—they typically imagine big-city laboratories, bustling R&D centres, and hospital-adjacent offices. Yet, the landscape is shifting. Advances in telehealth, data analytics, and cloud computing are expanding the range of possibilities. As a result, many MedTech professionals now find they can live and work in picturesque rural areas or by the coast, rather than feeling bound to large urban hubs. At MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk, we’ve noticed a growing wave of jobseekers seeking out positions that allow for “tech jobs by the sea” or “medical technology remote countryside.” Employers, keen to attract talent from a broader pool, are discovering that the demands of high-level MedTech work can often be met remotely, provided you have the right tools and connectivity. No longer is it compulsory to live in or near London to make a meaningful contribution to life-saving or life-improving technologies. Below, we’ll unpack why rural-remote MedTech jobs are on the rise, what you need to know if you’re considering swapping the city skyline for rolling hills or ocean views, and how to position yourself for success in this brave new world of flexible medical technology careers.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Medical Technology—Transforming Healthcare for the Future

Medical technology—or medtech—stands at the forefront of redefining how we diagnose, treat, and manage illness. From MRI scanners that peer deep into our bodies to personalised therapy platforms that predict disease risk, medtech solutions already shape modern healthcare. Yet as the global population grows and health needs become more complex, conventional computational methods face staggering challenges in analysing massive biological datasets, simulating intricate disease pathways, and accelerating drug discovery. This is where quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) converge to spark a new wave of quantum-enhanced AI—unlocking innovation in medical technology like never before. Why does quantum matter for medtech? Traditional supercomputers rely on binary bits (0 or 1). Quantum computers harness qubits, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously (superposition) and becoming interlinked (entanglement). The result? Potential exponential or quadratic speed-ups for certain algorithms and simulations—particularly those that involve high-dimensional data, complex protein folding, or combinatorial searches for novel drugs. In parallel, AI—especially machine learning—has already revolutionised medical imaging, diagnostics, and patient monitoring. However, standard AI approaches often choke on the vast computational loads inherent to genome analysis, multi-omics data, or advanced robotics. Quantum computing promises to offload or accelerate some of these computationally intense tasks, enabling more powerful models, faster results, and the potential to discover new correlations hidden within enormous datasets. In this article, we will: Examine the current landscape of medical technology, highlighting computational barriers that hamper progress. Demystify quantum computing and its fundamental differences from classical systems. Explore how quantum-enhanced AI can reshape medtech applications—from drug discovery to diagnostics and beyond. Dive into real-world pilot projects and potential breakthroughs on the horizon. Discuss challenges (like hardware maturity, data encoding, ethics, and patient privacy) and how the industry might overcome them. Highlight career paths, roles, and skill sets that could define the next generation of medtech professionals. If you’re involved in medical device development, healthcare data analysis, or simply curious about the future of medicine, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI has the potential to supercharge healthcare innovation, improving patient outcomes while driving exciting new career opportunities.
