We’re recruiting on behalf of a Cambridge-based AI research company developing data-efficient machine learning solutions for complex engineering and optimisation problems.


This is an opportunity to join a highly research-driven ML lab, working on probabilistic modelling, Bayesian optimisation and decision‑making methods, with a strong emphasis on theoretical rigour and real‑world impact. The team regularly publishes at top‑tier machine learning conferences and contributes to open‑source ML libraries.


The Role

You’ll conduct original research in areas such as probabilistic models, active learning and Bayesian optimisation, while collaborating closely with other researchers and applied teams. The role blends academic‑quality research with practical application, including contributions to product development and customer‑facing research projects.


About You

  • PhD in Machine Learning, Statistics, Optimisation or a related field (or equivalent research experience)
  • Track record of publications in ML, statistics or optimisation venues
  • Experience or strong interest in:
  • Probabilistic modelling (e.g. Gaussian Processes, Bayesian methods)
  • Decision‑making methods (Bayesian optimisation, bandits, RL, active learning)
  • Strong numerical programming skills (Python; NumPy; TensorFlow and/or PyTorch)
  • Collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for research excellence and continuous learning

If you or anyone you know could be interested, please reach out to Fintan at TEC Partners for all of the details.

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.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
