About the Fellowship
EPSRC, on behalf of UKRI, is delivering this substantive phase of the Turing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Fellowships, working in partnership with The Alan Turing Institute, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Office for Artificial Intelligence.
This programme aims to grow the UK’s capability and capacity in addressing the challenges in AI. The Fellowships are intended to accelerate the careers of high potential researchers towards a world leading position by the end of their Fellowship. Strong emphasis is on creativity of ideas, thought and approach to tackle the grand challenges of AI, and on enabling career mobility across sectors (including academia, industry, government, and the third sector) for the fellow and their team.
This mobility will aid in the creation of new, flexible collaborations and enable the two-way flow of knowledge and people across sectors. Fellows are expected to take full advantage of this stakeholder engagement in order to build mutually beneficial two-way relationships based on expertise, secondments, products and infrastructures.
It is not expected that fellows will commit 100% of their contracted time (FTE) to this activity throughout its duration. However, a minimum 50% commitment is expected, as this Fellowship should be the fellow’s ‘main identity’. With this in mind fellows should design an appropriate time commitment to deliver their research vision, which is expected to taper to a maximum of 50% FTE by the last year of the award to enable broader portfolio development.
