- The valuable opportunity to join a cohort of innovative scholars collectively shaping the future of AI, through the cross-university King's AI Institute, offering a vibrant interdisciplinary environment, mentoring, industry contacts and more – alongside other networks including King’s Digital Futures Institute and King’s Digital Health Hub.
There are 20 positions available. Positions will lead to open-ended academic positions, subject to third year review. Appointments will typically be made at Level 7 (Fellow) or Level 8 (Senior Fellow) in our Research job family.
This initiative is led by our Vice President Professor Sir Bashir M. Al-Hashimi FRS and aims to create our AI leaders of the future.
