Artificial Intelligence Jobs

Hadean · London

Lead a new AI-powered defence product team, line-managing AI/ML, simulation, infrastructure and web engineers while staying hands-on in TypeScript, React and Node. You own delivery end-to-end, hiring and people development, partnering with Product and technical leads, with hybrid working one day a week in Shoreditch.

University of Essex · Ipswich · £40,000 – £45,000 pa

A KTP Associate role embedded at Distag QCS in Ipswich, working with a large, messy ERP dataset never designed for machine learning. The post holder shapes the data, builds reliable models, and leads the introduction of data-driven decision making in a business with no existing in-house data science capability. It blends hands-on Python development with change management, communication and academic paper contributions.

University of Sheffield · Sheffield · £39,560 – £43,099 pa

Postdoctoral role applying explainable NLP and machine learning to analyse online disinformation narratives, integrate findings into a user-facing verification toolkit, and evaluate commercial chatbots and AI-generated search overviews. The researcher joins the European-funded ANTIGONE project, collaborating with multidisciplinary partners and leading publication of results in high-impact journals and conferences.

University of Exeter · Exeter · £21,805 pa

Investigates whether small language models running on local workstations or on-premises servers can serve as reliable agents for bounded business workflows. The student will distil agentic capability from large teacher models via harness optimisation and fine-tuning on execution traces, measuring reliability, cost, latency and data locality, and releasing open tooling for UK SMEs.

University of Exeter · Exeter · £21,805 pa

Develops a resource-aware AI framework for 2D and 3D medical imaging that adapts computation to case complexity, clinical risk and available hardware. Investigates where unnecessary computation occurs, builds a configurable model family, and validates it on population-scale abdominal MRI (UK Biobank) and near-patient dermatology imaging, with safety assessed across patient subgroups.

King's College London · London · £45,031 – £52,514 pa

Designs, builds and evaluates AI-enabled evidence synthesis tools and pipelines for the METIUS programme, writing production-quality Python code and onboarding consortium partners. Runs methodological and evaluation studies on the reliability and usability of AI-assisted synthesis methods, publishing the results, and contributes to the Solace-AI project on climate-health emergencies. Works alongside software developers, data scientists and evidence synthesis specialists.

University of Oxford · Oxford · £39,424 – £47,779 pa

Develops novel statistical and machine learning methods for large-scale genomic, phenotypic and health data, covering areas such as genomic language models, multimodal and federated learning, and multi-ancestry methods. Builds scalable, reproducible research software applied to biobank-scale datasets, evaluates statistical and predictive performance, publishes findings and guides junior researchers in the Palamara Group.

University of Exeter · Exeter · £21,805 pa

Develop next-generation machine learning models to predict genetic interactions from large-scale perturb-seq data, evaluating graph neural networks and autoencoders for genome-wide scalability. The purely computational project feeds a lab-in-the-loop cycle with pancreatic cancer screens from the AstraZeneca and Cancer Research Horizons Functional Genomics Centre, with results released as open-source software.
