The Alan Turing Institute

THE ROLE The Alan Turing Institute s Research Engineering Group work to realise cutting edge research as professionally usable software tools and to apply these to address real-world data science and modelling challenges. The Group includes a team of research software engineers and research data scientists. We note the considerable overlap between these emerging roles and embrace the breadth of interdisciplinary skills and diversity of approaches entailed in these fields. We are open to candidates with either a Research Data Science or Research Software Engineering background. The successful candidate will be appointed to the role that best aligns with their skills, experience and interests. In contrast to traditional research careers, we are committed expert collaborators, who join research teams to further the Institute's challenges. We create software that implements research and use it to analyse client data in a readable, reliable, and reproducible fashion. We present conclusions of research and analysis to the research community and clients through presentations, research papers , blog posts , interactive data visualisations and open-source software packages . We work with state-of-the-art, high-performance computing and cloud platforms to realise collaborators' data science and artificial intelligence research at scale. Senior team members are responsible for leading and managing the work of the team and interfacing with external PIs and collaborators. They are able to lead efforts in a hands-on manner and mentor others in their work. They have deep technical (algorithmic methods, computational tools etc) expertise in multiple areas and able to force multiply the work of others. HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT Apply state-of-the-art and novel data science and artificial intelligence techniques emerging from the Institute and elsewhere to problems faced by the Turing s clients. Collaborate with research colleagues to develop and maintain high-quality, well-tested software embodying research outputs. Present, disseminate and explain our work via presentations, reports, and well-documented software packages. Working under clear guidance, is responsible for the delivery of 1-2 research projects or service areas involving one or two additional team members on a routine basis, ensuring successful outcomes. Supports a more senior member of the team in scoping new technical projects. Develop new projects and ways of working in conjunction with colleagues, authoring research proposals and agreeing involvement for the group in activities across the institute. Ability to mentor and support junior colleagues and provide expert technical support and guidance. ABOUT YOU Relevant industry or academic experience (for instance pursuing a PhD) in a field with significant use of both computer programming and advanced statistical or numerical methods. Fluency in one or more modern programming languages used in research in data science and artificial intelligence. Experience delivering technical research engineering work under at least one of the areas in Fundamental Research, Defence and Security, Environment and Sustainability, or a related area in National Resilience. Experience managing, structuring, analysing and visualising research data and the results of computational experiments. Evidence of the ability to coach/mentor others.

ROLE PURPOSE The BridgeAI Deployment Applications Lead will drive the design and delivery of practical tools, frameworks and guidance products that help organisations successfully deploy advanced AI into operational environments across the UK s key Industrial Strategy growth sectors. Working at the intersection of frontline advisory practice and programme-level product development, the postholder will combine direct engagement with BridgeAI-supported organisations with the systematic design, prototyping and delivery of reusable technical assets. The postholder will manage at least one member of the BridgeAI team, report directly to the Principal Investigator, and play a leading role in shaping the programme s technical legacy: its shipped tools, disseminated learning, and contribution to the UK s evidence base for responsible AI deployment at scale. They will also play a leading role in the wider Strategic Capabilities leadership team. Successful candidates will combine technical depth with the instinct to translate operational learning into lasting, usable assets. They will be comfortable moving between hands-on product development, senior stakeholder engagement and team leadership, and will thrive in a programme environment where they shape the work, and the impact is real. HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT Develop a portfolio of interactive digital tools and structured guidance products to support organisations at key stages of the AI deployment journey. Own the product development roadmap, balancing near-term programme needs with the longer-term value of outputs designed to outlast and extend beyond the programme. Ensure products are designed for broad adoption: accessible, well-documented and usable by practitioners across sectors without specialist support. Contribute to programme-level artefacts. Work with a focused portfolio of organisations to scope, develop and harden AI deployment use cases in real operational settings. Provide technical deployment guidance covering site readiness, governance approvals, workflow implications, change management and staff capability requirements. Advise on AI safety, ethics and assurance, drawing on recognised frameworks including ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, NIST AI RMF and UK GDPR / DPA 2018. Line manage the Impact & Data Manager. Support public dissemination activities including workshops. Engage with sector bodies, regulators and Innovate UK partners. Please see the job description for a full breakdown of the role and person specification. TERMS AND CONDITIONS This full-time post is offered on a fixed term basis until March 2030. The annual salary range is £73,720 - £78,750 plus an excellent benefits package including private medical insurance, 10% employer pension contribution, flexible hybrid working and family friendly policies - full details can be seen here.
