Investigates how two neuroscience developments—astrocyte-neuron interactions and spontaneous retinal waves—can improve deep networks. The work involves adding astrocyte-inspired regularisation to training and using synaptic plasticity rules for network initialisation, then testing generalisation, robustness, explainability, learning speed and data efficiency.

University of Oxford · Oxford · £49,119 – £58,265 pa

Develops and validates machine learning models for disease forecasting and simulation models for scenario exploration, using large-scale epidemiological, genomic and behavioural data. Builds decision-support tools and reproducible pipelines, integrating them into public health workflows with partners in Nigeria and the DRC through co-design workshops and training.

UCL · London · £46,261 – £48,679 pa

Develop and evaluate novel AI algorithms to quantify brain iron load from standard-format MRI data, with a focus on quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). Based in UCL's Hawkes Institute, a multidisciplinary grouping at the intersection of engineering and health, within a top-ranked computer science department.

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.

C4S Search Ltd · London · £600 – £650 pd

Designs, builds and deploys machine learning models into production, with a focus on recommendation systems such as personalised product recommendations, ranking and search optimisation. Works with data scientists, engineers and product stakeholders, maintaining MLOps pipelines for CI/CD, model versioning and monitoring on Azure, and retraining models to sustain accuracy on large-scale datasets.

The University of Manchester · Manchester · £48,337 – £59,390 pa

Develops and applies machine-learning and AI methods to protein engineering and enzyme design, analysing large biological, chemical and experimental datasets and building predictive models and computational tools. Works within an interdisciplinary group spanning the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology and Department of Chemistry, providing ML and data-science expertise, training and support to postdocs and students, and contributing to publications and funding bids.

University of Oxford · Oxford · £21,805 pa

Investigates how the rapid growth of AI can be supported by more sustainable, circular hardware and infrastructure, linking computational performance to the physical materials and equipment required. Develops scenarios for UK AI and data centre growth, mapping hardware requirements to critical raw materials and modelling how lifetime extension, reuse, repair and remanufacture could cut environmental impacts. Based in the Circular Economy and Sustainability Lab, contributing to the Circular Electricals and Electronics Project.

University of Sheffield · Sheffield · £32,080 pa

Build and evaluate machine learning models that predict Strep A outbreak risk from multiple real-world datasets, turning them into early-warning signals. Work with clinicians and an engineering team so analyses feed into a practical public health tool, with a focus on reproducible Python and/or R analysis.

Randstad Technologies Recruitment · London · £432 – £484 pd

Design and deploy production-grade Generative AI workflows and backend security guardrails for a global financial institution's AI Centre of Excellence. The role blends Python/Java engineering, AWS and Azure cloud pipelines with Airflow orchestration, plus roughly 20-25% frontend work on guardrail interfaces, alongside production support and ML evaluation metrics.

University of Exeter · Exeter · £21,805 pa

Develops and evaluates AI, machine learning and deep learning methods for grading retinal fundus images to detect diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract and AMD. Works with large datasets including EyePACS, UK Biobank and NHS sources, comparing algorithm accuracy against NHS clinicians and optimising explainable models for clinical trust.

CBSbutler Holdings Limited trading as CBSbutler · Merseyside · £480 – £500 pd

Owns the target architecture and design authority for an enterprise Factory Edge hosting service, defining reference architectures, reusable site patterns and guardrails across VMs, Kubernetes, MES/UNS and AI/GPU workloads. Acts as design authority across infrastructure, cloud, networking, security and OT, with occasional factory visits in Merseyside.

Matchtech · Cambridgeshire · £450 – £650 pd

Contract Python developer role focused on building and maintaining software for integration with a defence cloud environment. Day-to-day work spans data and AI, automation and tooling, and DevOps, using Red Hat OpenShift, Quay, HashiCorp Vault, Tekton Pipelines, GitHub, ArgoCD and SonarQube within agile teams. Requires UK Eyes Only clearance eligibility and is based on-site/hybrid in Cambridgeshire.

University of East Anglia · Norwich · £21,805 pa

A PhD studentship developing multispectral and hyperspectral imaging combined with machine learning to detect and classify marine litter from aerial and drone-based platforms. The researcher will characterise litter material reflectance in the lab, curate imaging datasets, and build models robust to changing illumination and sensor differences, based in the Colour & Imaging Laboratory and working with CEFAS scientists.

Scale AI · United Kingdom

Fellows design complex, domain-specific problems and datasets to rigorously evaluate generative AI models, then provide expert interpretation to improve their accuracy and reasoning. They collaborate with partner AI labs and Scale's research team, potentially co-authoring technical reports and benchmarks. Work is project-based within an interdisciplinary network of academics, with flexible 10–40 hour weeks.
