About MINDS Centre for Doctoral Training

The Machine Intelligence for Nano-Electronic Devices and Systems (MINDS), is a very successful £5M Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) funding around 50 PhD students. All cohorts have now been recruited and are in the delivery phase of their PhDs until 2027. PhD projects are AI-focussed with a mix of hardware and software, focussing on the areas of Agent-based Adaptive Systems, Embedded AI, Nanoelectronic AI and Task-optimized Devices and Systems. www.mindscdt.southampton.ac.uk

About You

You will work in a team and will need to be adaptable, learning quickly to work with new systems and integration requirements that come with cutting edge AI research such as machine learning, large language models, robotics and sensor systems.

This enterprise-focussed work will amplify existing PhD results from our cohort of students, enabling future engagement and collaboration opportunities for these students and provide the MINDS CDT with an impressive AI showcase on our YouTube channel and other media.

You will support PhD students with activities such as building user interfaces and open-source packaging of research results to allow easier impact and collaboration. You will create demonstrator systems for outreach to the general public and commercial companies, including a set of ambitious demonstrators for the British Science Festival 2026 which the University of Southampton is hosting and other similar events. You will also engage with staff at the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) from a range of ECS groups and ECS centres, who themselves have exciting research outputs.

It is essential you have:

Degree or an equivalent combination of professional qualifications and experience in Computer Science or a related discipline and/or industrial experience.

Evidence of practical skills around creating demonstrator systems and packaging AI-focussed research work into reusable forms (software and/or hardware).

Work effectively in a team, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of others to help teamwork development.

Two positions are being recruited, one open to any nationality and one ideally filled by a candidate with UK nationality to better support opportunities in the UK defence sector.

This role is offered on a full-time fixed term contract for two years. If successful there could be opportunities to extend contract via the SustAI CDT after 2027.
