Senior Research Scientist – AI

This is a research leadership role, not a management role. AI-assisted software development is expected and encouraged. The emphasis is on scientific judgement, creativity and technical leadership rather than expertise with particular implementation frameworks.

We value intellectual independence and ambition within a team. We are looking for researchers who enjoy identifying important unsolved problems, developing original approaches, and critically evaluating competing hypotheses, leading to scaled, deployed, high-impact systems. The ability to formulate new research directions and lead them to successful outcomes is more important than experience with any particular software framework.

• define and lead research projects and programmes in artificial intelligence;
• formulate new AI architectures, learning algorithms and evaluation methodologies;
• identify high-value research opportunities and translate them into executable programmes of work;
• design AI systems that combine language models, reasoning and knowledge identification, representation, understanding and use;
