We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the general area of wearable sensing systems for the ear and the head, wearable signal processing and sensing data machine learning to join the Mobile Systems Research Laboratory at the University of Cambridge.
The Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) are inviting proposals for a series of short, exploratory projects to be undertaken using existing AI Scientist systems. They are specifically looking for AI systems that can perform the full end-to-end workflow of scientific knowledge creation. This includes:
The recent publication of AI-driven protein structure prediction methods, such as AlphaFold, Boltz-1, Chai and RosettaFold has opened a host of new possibilities for working with protein sequences and structures. At Cambridge University, the people working with (AI-driven) protein structure prediction methods are spread over different groups and departments, with often only one person in a group working with these methods.
The Accelerate Science in collaboration with Cambridge University Cambridge Service for Data Driven Discovery (CSD3), Oxford University Research Software Engineering, and NVIDIA, is launching its first undergraduate Accelerate Winter School for AI, a three-day intensive programme designed specifically for final year undergraduate students interested in Generative Artificial Intelligence. As AI becomes integral to all research disciplines, this programme aims to equip the next generation of researchers from all academic backgrounds with foundational AI skills.
Cambridge Stem Cell Institute (SBS)
Fixed-term: The funds for this post in the first instance is are available for 24 months.
The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute is an international centre of excellence for stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Scientists in the Institute collaborate to advance our knowledge of various stem cell types and to perform pioneering work in translational research areas, providing the foundation for new medical treatments (https://www.stemcells.cam.ac.uk/).
Funders: UKRI via Responsible Ai UK
Apply for funding to support collaboration in the domain of Responsible Artificial Intelligence to ensure society deploys and uses AI in a responsible way. This funding covers travel and subsistence for UK researchers to collaborate within the UK or internationally or for UK-based researchers to host international visitors (i.e., flight and subsistence, accommodation in the UK).
Department of Computer Science and Technology
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years.
A doctoral studentship is available in the forthcoming Aspirational Computing Lab (February 2026) in the Department of Computer Science and Technology (CST) at the University of Cambridge.
The goal of this PhD programme is to launch one "deceptive by design" project that combines the perspectives of human-computer interaction (HCI) and critical computing. High-level topics include:
Applications are now open for Cambridge Enterprise’s Translational Funding Ideas Incubator (TFII).
Do you have a research result or prototype ready for real-world application? Want to learn more about how to move beyond the research phase?
Funding opportunity from the CHAI (Causality in Healthcare AI) Hub
The CHAI Hub’s Events and Workshops Fund supports academic researchers to organise interdisciplinary events designed to drive collaboration and advance the application of causal AI in healthcare.
data.org - The Activate AI: Economic Opportunity Challenge is a global call for innovative AI applications that empower people and communities, and that unlock economic opportunity for a resilient future.
With the launch of this challenge, data.org and Zoom are seeking out projects that drive AI workforce development and organizational capacity, develop pathways to create future friendly jobs leveraging data and AI, and build climate resilient communities for a green economy.
Department of Clinical Neurosciences
Applications are invited for a fully-funded 3-year PhD studentship in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Dr Alexis Joannides starting April 2026 (Easter Term 26).
Open to UK and overseas students starting an MPhil in Advanced Computer Science at Cambridge University. This scholarship will cover full fees for a home student, or £25,000 of fees for an overseas student, and will be awarded at the discretion of the Admissions Tutor and the Senior Tutor.
The award holder must matriculate at Queens’ College. Details of the scholarship recipient will be shared with the donor.
