Job Summary
The EPSRC has funded AIChemy, a research hub to develop artificial intelligence (AI) for chemistry. AIChemy seeks to both develop new AI approaches and to uptake AI into the chemistry community. The Hub brings together AI researchers from many subdisciplines and both experimental and computational chemists. The hub will promote connectivity of the broader community, training, networking, as well as state-of-the-art research.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop and implement automated experimental workflows in collaboration with a wide range of academic and industrial partners who will be part of AlChemy – a new Hub involving Imperial College London, the University of Liverpool, and a large consortium of academic and industrial partners.
You will focus on exploiting automated high-throughput screening and characterisation to curate and provide the crucial experimental data required for chemical discovery through generative AI to identify novel molecule and materials classes, and for the development of new multi-fidelity machine learning approaches for active learning, Bayesian optimisation, and design of experiments to uncover reaction mechanisms. This is an exciting opportunity to work within the larger team at Imperial, and across the AIChemy hub to collectively deliver novel AI for Chemistry.
You will work on projects coordinated between both experimental chemistry and machine learning academics. These posts offer the academic freedom and the deep science base of Imperial College London and University of Liverpool (including self-driving labs and high-throughput synthesis and analysis setups) to make a notable contribution to the field.

Further Information
This is a full time, fixed term position for one year. You will be based at White City Campus with some time spent at the South Kensington Campus, as required for the delivery of the research.
Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as Research Assistant.
Due to funding constraints for this role, we can offer the salary range only at £45,593 - £49,305 per annum. However, you will be eligible for incremental raises as per our standard pay scale for this grade.
