About the role:
We are seeking a Research Associate to join our team as part of the AI for Chemistry (AIchemy) hub, specialising in multi-modal generative AI for small molecules and materials.
AIchemy, funded by the EPSRC, is a research hub dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the field of chemistryThe hub unites AI researchers from various subdisciplines including computer science and both experimental and computational chemists, fostering connectivity, training, networking, and state-of-the-art research.
This position offers an exciting opportunity to design and implement novel algorithms in generative AI applicable across large-scale multi-modal chemistry data (including experimental properties) while collaborating with the larger team at Imperial College London and across the UK-wide AIchemy hub to collectively advance AI in chemistry.
You will co-develop the project in partnership with experimental and theoretical chemists, and machine-learning academics across the Chemistry and Computing Departments. This position provides considerable academic freedom and will leverage the deep science base of Imperial College London, the University of Liverpool, other UK academics, and industrial partners, including self-driving labs and high-throughput synthesis and analysis setups, enabling you to make a significant contribution to the field. You will join a cohort of computational and experimental researchers, technicians, and software engineers working at the AI/Chemistry interface and a thriving community of events and initiatives that you can take a role in shaping.
This role is supported by AI Futures Grants, a UK Government scheme designed to help the next generation of AI leaders meet the costs of relocating to the UK. AI Futures Grants provide financial support to reimburse relocation costs such as visa fees, the immigration health surcharge and travel/subsistence expenses. Successful candidates for this role may be able to get up to £10,000 to meet relocation costs, subject to terms and conditions.
