Artificial Intelligence Jobs

University of Exeter · Penryn · £21,805 pa

Develops physics-aware spatio-temporal graph neural networks for 0–6-hour visibility forecasting, focusing on low-visibility events in southeast England. The work spans six packages, from benchmarking NWP and ML baselines to linking learned representations with atmospheric physics, testing robustness to degraded observations, and operational evaluation with Met Office scientists.

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.

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.

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

Deliver AI safety research for the ARIADNE consortium, a Wellcome-funded generative AI system conducting clinical interviews to assess psychosis risk. Develop LLM supervisor modules that detect delusional reinforcement and inappropriate responses to suicidal symptoms, evaluating them in controlled testbeds with simulated patients and LLM-as-judge scoring calibrated against clinicians.

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.

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.

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.
