Events in Physics
The university is limited to three submissions at outline stage and is therefore running an internal selection process. Please discuss any applications with David Leadley in advance of 4th March 2019
The Alan Turing Institute, UK Research and Innovation and the Office for AI invite applications for their AI fellowships. These encourage world-leading AI researchers to build and consolidate significant research activity and profile within the UK and accelerate the careers of mid-career AI researchers enabling them to grow their profile both nationally and internationally, build their research teams and extend their research collaborations. The initiative covers a broad view of AI, including applications of foundational disciplines across mathematical sciences, statistical sciences, computational sciences and engineering. Fellows are expected to collaborate as appropriate across disciplines to ensure positive outcomes for UK society. Consideration may also be given to AI work that interfaces with the life sciences, social sciences or humanities. The objectives are to:
鈥uild UK leadership capacity and capability in AI research by attracting, retaining and developing world-leading AI research talent in the UK;
鈥ccelerate the delivery of impact from UK AI research through the facilitation of effective collaboration between leading AI researchers and both industrial colleagues and researchers in other disciplines;
鈥nvest in leading researchers who will become effective leaders in the AI landscape and advocates of AI research through active engagement with policy-makers and the public.
The following types of awards are available: Turing senior AI fellowships are prestigious appointments for existing leaders in the field and applicants should already be demonstrating leadership equivalent to a full professorial position; Turing AI fellowships are aimed at established mid-career researchers with recognised leadership potential.
Fellows must be hosted by a UK HEI, independent research organisation, NHS body and other research institute. They may collaborate with partners from industry, the public sector or the charitable sector.
The total budget is up to 拢8.5 million, to fund three to five fellowships for up to five years. The fellowship covers salary, research costs and other related activities.
