About AstraZeneca and AISI
At AstraZeneca, technology and science meet to change what is possible for patients. We are building a connected, end-to-end Enterprise AI engine — uniting data foundations, AI technology, process reinvention, and business-facing AI to accelerate results across the whole value chain. Success depends on being exceptional connectors: you will actively leverage existing capabilities, celebrate and promote reuse, export breakthrough ideas across geographies and functions, and obsess over scaling impact rather than building in isolation.
AI Science & Innovation (AISI) sits at the centre of AstraZeneca's R&D; AI transformation. Our remit is to build, buy, and deliver the AI models and agents that change pipeline outcomes across discovery, translational science, biomarkers, and clinical development.
Within AISI, the Clinical AI teams are building world-class AI capability to accelerate the design, conduct,



and analysis of clinical trials across our BioPharmaceuticals pipelines — spanning both early and late phase programmes. We partner closely with clinical development, regulatory, and biometrics teams to bring better treatments to patients faster, while adhering to the highest evidentiary standards.
The Opportunity
Bringing new treatments to patients demands scientific excellence at every stage of development. In the Clinical AI team, we focus on one of the most data-rich and decision-intensive parts of that journey: clinical development. Trial design, patient selection, dose optimisation, biomarker strategy, and safety evaluation each represent genuine opportunities where AI and machine learning can add rigour, speed, and precision — not as a replacement for clinical and statistical expertise, but as a powerful complement to it. We hold ourselves to measurable standards of improvement, and we build methods that can be evaluated, reproduced, and trusted in regulatory set
