Closing date: 
Sunday, 17 October 2021

The Alan Turing Institute is the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence. The Institute is named in honour of the scientist Alan Turing and its mission is to make great leaps in data science and artificial intelligence research in order to change the world for the better.

The Alan Turing Institute’s Defence and Security has three aims – to support defence and national security agencies to keep societies and citizens safe; to protect the privacy and security of citizens, institutions and industry; and to contribute to the global good by enabling societies around the world to derive benefit and prosper from emerging technology. To achieve these aims, the programme has formed long-term strategic partnerships, including with the UK Government’s defence & security community, represented by the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), including the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), and Defence Digital within the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Current research directions include data science fundamentals, decision support systems, cybersecurity, and privacy technology.
