Forward Deployed Scientist

You work directly with scientists to design experiments, develop new assays and generate the data they need to advance their research. You'll combine hands-on experimental work in our automated lab with close scientific collaboration with the teams we support.

In London, a large share of that work is with ARIA. Adaptyv has been selected for ARIA's second cohort of Activation Partners, and ARIA, the UK's Advanced Research + Invention Agency, is funding our new automated lab in London: the UK's first AI-native automated wet lab.

ARIA backs ambitious research across opportunity spaces such as Sculpting Innate Immunity, Manufacturing Abundance and Programmable Plants. The teams it funds, called Creators, often need experimental capabilities that do not yet exist. You'll work directly with those teams to understand their scientific challenges, design and develop the assays they need, and work hands-on with our scientists to validate and bring these workflows onto our automation platform.

Our goal is to help the next 100 UK biotechs and neopharmas get started by the end of 2028.
