Job Description

About the role:

Applications are invited for prestigious Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Fellowships, a program of Schmidt Sciences, commencing 01 September 2027, with a duration of 2 years. The fellowship MUST start on or before 01 September 2027 as the grant funding ends on 31 August 2029.

What you would be doing:

The Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Fellows will produce independent and original research, using AI to advance science within their host department and the I-X Centre for AI in Science. These fellowships have the aim of identifying excellent researchers and accelerating them in using AI to advance and disrupt Science or Engineering. Here ‘AI’ is interpreted very broadly, e.g.: topics in Bayesian Inference and Robotics; ‘Science’ covers any typical topic in Natural Science and Engineering (Epidemiology, Biology and basic science in biomedicine are included but clinical medical themes are not covered, including conventional medical imaging). Examples include Bayesian optimization for molecular or materials design; machine learning for single cell data; physics-based ML for turbine design and astrostatistics.

This post is not suitable for generic AI research with general application: candidates must be aiming to substantially advance a particular area of science. Applicants could view themselves as AI researchers tackling particular pieces of science or science researchers using AI to transform their area. Extensive AI knowledge is not required, and AI training is offered as discussed by one of our alumni here.

 

This is a full time, fixed term position for 2 years. You will be based at White City Campus.

Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as a Research Assistant.

If you have any queries about this opportunity, please contact Eileen Boyce at [email protected]

Further information about the I-X Centre for AI in Science can be found at AI in Science Fellowships | Research groups | Imperial College London which includes an introductory video.

If candidates want to also be considered at the Research Fellow level, then they need to send in an additional application for that role (the documents submitted can be repeated).

Further Information

In addition to completing the online application, candidates should, after carefully consulting the Job Description, FAQ and related documents, upload the following documents:

  • A full CV including publications.

An additional single file with:

You must contact Becky Cook ([email protected]) at ICR and Carl Iamov [email protected] and/or Louis Avigdor [email protected] at CNRS to confirm these internal processes and deadlines.
