About the Role
The Alan Turing Institute is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Researcher/Data Scientist to join our Defence & National Security (D&NS) programme within the Applied Research Centre (ARC). This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on cutting‑edge AI and Deep Learning projects that address real‑world security challenges. You will collaborate with government partners and cross‑disciplinary teams to translate complex data problems into innovative research solutions. The successful candidate will have a strong background in programming, statistical analysis, and AI methodologies, with a particular focus on Deep Learning frameworks. Your expertise will contribute to the development of reliable, reproducible, and impactful AI solutions that support national security objectives. This position requires a proactive approach, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced research environment.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess a PhD or equivalent professional experience in a relevant field such as Data Science, Computer Science, or Applied Mathematics. A strong foundation in programming, particularly in Python, is essential. Candidates should have practical experience or a keen interest in Deep Learning and AI, with familiarity in frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Jax. Demonstrated expertise in advanced statistical and numerical methods, alongside best practices in research software engineering—including version control, automated testing, and reproducibility—is required. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are necessary to effectively articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences. Eligibility for SC security clearance is mandatory, and a commitment to ethical AI practices and diversity, equity, and inclusion (EDI) principles is essential.
Responsibilities
Understand partner problems and collaborate to shape appropriate research approaches and experimental designs. Apply state‑of‑the‑art Deep Learning and Data Science techniques to address challenges within the Defence & National Security sector. Conduct rigorous investigations, producing deployable proof‑of‑concept code, comprehensive technical reports, and documentation for reuse. Design and execute experiments within small teams, guided by senior staff, ensuring high standards of research quality and reproducibility. Present research findings clearly through technical presentations and written reports to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. Utilize standard tooling for testing, version control, and collaboration to maintain technical excellence and project efficiency. Contribute to the development of innovative AI solutions that are reliable, interpretable, and aligned with organizational and ethical standards.
