About the Role We now have an opportunity for a Software Scientist to join the OpenBind team at Diamond Light Source to lead on developing computational workflows for active learning guided experimental design and collaborate closely with an international consortium of leading researchers. In June 2025, the UKs Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) announced an £8 million investment through its Sovereign AI Unit to establish the OpenBind Consortium a pioneering initiative hosted at Diamond Light Source to revolutionize AI-driven drug discovery. OpenBind will catalyze the worlds largest open dataset of protein-ligand crystal structures paired with affinity measurements, targeting over 500,000 datasets in five years - a twenty-fold increase over all publicly available data generated in the past half-century. This landmark dataset will address a critical bottleneck in pharmaceutical R&D: the scarcity of large-scale, high-quality data linking small molecules to their protein targets. By integrating automated chemistry, protein engineering, high-throughput crystallography, and cutting-edge AI/ML models, OpenBind aims to unlock a new era of generative drug design - enabling breakthroughs in previously intractable diseases and dramatically reducing the cost and timeline of drug development.
