Teaching Focused Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence

Pre-announcement: artificial intelligence humanities sandpits: Canada, UK and US

Assistant Professor/Associate Professor/Professor in Artificial Intelligence for Humanity

Director, Machine Learning Centre of Excellence

Director, Machine Learning Centre of Excellence

Sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) series one

Location:South of England (Hybrid options available)

Level:Senior+

Sponsorship:Available

Salary:Up to £140,000

Work Type:Onsite with real robots

Relocation Support


I'm supporting a well-backed robotics company, founded by repeat entrepreneurs to build one of the most ambitious real-world embodied AI stacks in Europe.


They’re applying language + vision + control in a tightly integrated system that’s already moving fast from prototypes to deployment.


This isn’t theoretical robotics. These roles are about putting ideas to the test by integrating ML, motion planning, and reasoning into production systems that do useful work in the real world.


TWO OPEN ROLES:


Decision-Making Systems Engineer


You'll help shape the brain of the robot, building intelligent bridges between planning, perception, and pretrained models:


  • Skill sequencing
  • Hybrid planning + learned policies
  • LLM prompting as part of control pipelines
  • Real-time integration with onboard sensors and motion layers


Imitation Learning / Manipulation Engineer


You’ll own high-capacity behaviour models, trained on human demos and sim-to-real environments. From data ingestion to model design to deployment on hardware, you're the force teaching the robot how to act.


  • Large-scale data pipelines
  • Vision-language-action learning
  • Multitask imitation learning
  • Deployment of learned skills on robot arms


Why You’d Want This


  • Real hardware, not simulation purgatory
  • Direct mentorship from deeply technical founders and an elite team with some of Europe’s sharpest minds in RL, controls, and behaviour learning
  • Truly interdisciplinary, if you like hacking agents, models, and mechatronics, this is your playground


Ideal Background


You don’t need to have done it all, but a few of these should ring true:


  • Trained and deployed learned control policies
  • Built robotic planning stacks involving LLMs or graph planners
  • Debugged complex systems with perception, control, and comms layers
  • Published in ICRA, CoRL, RSS, NeurIPS, or similar, and then shipped it
  • Interested in safe RL, planning with priors, or diffusion-based policy learning

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for AI Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The artificial intelligence sector has transformed from a niche technology field into one of the UK's most dynamic employment markets. With AI roles ranging from machine learning engineers to data scientists and AI product managers commanding average salaries between £45,000 and £120,000, timing your job search strategically can significantly impact your success rate. Understanding when companies typically hire for AI positions—and why these patterns exist—can give you a competitive edge in landing your dream role. Unlike traditional industries with predictable seasonal fluctuations, the AI job market follows distinct patterns driven by corporate budgets, educational cycles, and technological project timelines. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal months to apply for AI jobs in the UK, helping you align your career moves with industry hiring peaks.

Breaking Into Generative AI: A Beginner's Complete Guide to Starting Your Career in 2025/26

Are you fascinated by AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, or Midjourney but unsure how to turn that interest into a career? You're not alone. The generative AI revolution has created thousands of new job opportunities across the UK, and many don't require a computer science degree or years of coding experience. Whether you're a recent graduate, considering a career change, or simply curious about this exciting field, this comprehensive guide will show you exactly how to break into generative AI jobs.
