  • Work closely with software developers to deploy robust and efficient ML pipelines.
  • Contribute to a collaborative, interdisciplinary research environment.



Qualifications

Required

  • A PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related discipline.
  • Proven research experience in machine learning applied to scientific domains.
  • Strong record of publications in peer-reviewed journals or impactful technical reports.
  • Proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred

  • Experience applying machine learning to computational physics, chemistry, or materials science.
  • Familiarity with plasma modelling or electron-molecule interaction data.
  • Experience with high-performance computing environments.
  • Knowledge of version control systems (e.g. Git).
  • Understanding of software development methodologies (e.g. Agile).

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
