Clinical Research Scientist Full Time NEW

There are jobs that pay the bills.

There are jobs that build careers.

And then there are the rare ones —

the ones you tell your grandchildren about.

This is the third kind.

─────────────────────

Symptom Spectrum is a UK registered medical

AI company building OurSkin Spectrum® —

the dermatology AI platform built to work

reliably across all skin tones, for

all communities.

We hold a registered trademark.

A filed patent.

A peer-evaluated AI methodology tested on

Isambard-AI — the UK’s most powerful

supercomputer.

We are not patching a broken system.

We are rebuilding the foundation.

─────────────────────

THE WORLD THIS ROLE EXISTS IN

For too long, the systems meant to read

your skin were written for only a fraction

of the world’s population.

Ethnically diverse communities —

the global majority — were left out

of the training data, the research,

and the tools designed to help them.

Dr James Pope at the University of Bristol

proved it — peer-reviewed, published,

presented to academia, government and media —

using Isambard-AI, the UK’s most powerful

supercomputer.

Skin cancer AI recall for darker skin: 0.26

For lighter skin: 0.45

A 43% performance gap.

In a tool designed to save lives.

Not because of bad medicine.

Not because of bad doctors.

Because the images were never built.

The training was never done.

The foundation was always incomplete.

That is what we are here to fix.

And this role is at the centre of it.

WHAT THIS ROLE ACTUALLY IS

This is not a job description.

It is an invitation.

You will be the clinical backbone of

a company at the intersection of AI,

medicine, community and equity.

You will not be handed a process.

You will build one — and it will matter

long after you have moved on.

─────────────────────

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

You sit at the intersection of every

team we have:

· Our academic consortium — including

 Dr James Pope, University of Bristol.

 You translate research into protocol

 and science into structure.

· Our machine learning and AI team —

 your annotated, GCP-compliant image data

 is what OurSkin Spectrum® learns from.

 Your work shapes the model.

· Our NHS and clinical validation partners —

 coordinating validation studies and

 ensuring our methodology meets the

 standards for NHS deployment.

· Our regulatory and compliance team —

 building the MHRA Class IIa pathway.

 DPIA, study files, consent templates —

 you author the backbone of our

 regulatory submission.

· Our West African academic and hospital

 research network — building partnerships

 that give us access to the image data

 that does not exist anywhere else.

 This is the data the world is missing.

· Our community outreach programme —

 working alongside our Navigator network

 in faith communities and community spaces

 across the UK. The people most affected

 by this gap will be the first to benefit

 from closing it. Community is not a

 footnote here. It is the foundation.

─────────────────────

WHAT WE OFFER

· Work that is genuinely, measurably

 consequential — you will point to

 the foundation you built

· Direct access to the founder and

 leadership from day one —

 no layers, no politics

· A seat at the table across academic,

 NHS, regulatory and community conversations

· The chance to shape a company’s entire

 scientific culture from the beginning

· Colleagues who are here for the

 same reason you are

─────────────────────

WHAT YOU WILL BUILD

· A consented, clinically structured

 image dataset that does not yet exist

 anywhere in the world

· The GCP-compliant documentation framework

 for our MHRA Class IIa regulatory pathway

· Clinical validation activities against

 pre-specified performance metrics

· Our West African research partnership

 programme

· Scientific sections of NIHR and

 Innovate UK grant applications

─────────────────────

WHO YOU ARE

Essential:

· MSc in Biomedical Science or a closely

 related life sciences discipline

 from a UK university

· GCP certified

· Laboratory research and GLP documentation

 experience

· Strong scientific writing capability

· Comfortable across academic, clinical

 and commercial environments

· Authorised to work in the United Kingdom

Desirable:

· Experience with MHRA pathways or

 SaMD frameworks

· Knowledge of or connections to West African

 clinical or academic research institutions

─────────────────────

We particularly welcome applications from

candidates with lived experience of the

health inequalities we are working to address.

Not a better caterpillar. A butterfly.
