About the role

We are looking for an outstanding particle physicist and expert machine-learning practitioner to join UCL’s neutrino group leading the development, calibration and application of state-of-the-art ML techniques for fast physics simulation of neutrino events produced in the NuMI long baseline experiments based on existing simulation and data. To extract the maximum possible information from the very basic raw data avoiding a heavy and potentially inefficient analysis chain. The goal is to improve analyses of the neutrino oscillation parameters using up to date theoretical information and potentially feed back to the theory community on parameter values.


The position can start from April with a funding end date of 31 March - 2 years.


Please contact Prof. Jennifer Thomas for further details about this post -

About you

The successful candidate will have (or be about to submit) a PhD in particle physics, and a strong record of originality in research, demonstrated by a good publication record, commensurate with the applicant’s career stage. They will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, and will have shown evidence of future leadership potential. Given the short-term nature of this role, experience in developing and applying cutting-edge machine learning models for applications in experimental HEP and beyond is essential.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.
