UKRI Turing AI Accelerator Fellowships | Call for Expressions of Interest | UoS internal selection process

The Turing Artificial Intelligence Acceleration Fellowships aim to accelerate the careers of the highest potential AI researchers with the potential to be world-leaders in the next five years and the vision to use the fellowship to achieve this goal.  The focus of the programme is on creativity of ideas, thought, and approach, and on enabling new collaboration between academia and other sectors.

As there is an institutional quota of four per institution, the University is running an internal process to identify applicants for the Call.  Researchers interested in this opportunity should read the details of the Call<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ukri.org%2Ffunding%2Ffunding-opportunities%2Fturing-artificial-intelligence-acceleration-fellowships%2F&data=01%7C01%7C%7Cac80cecf1b6b4658f67b08d7638522d1%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=LCD3RMdTJTqzF2q2y4yWJfaoS%2FEtwHMeTkQuiA3jX1k%3D&reserved=0> before submitting the attached expression of interest form to funding at soton.ac.uk<mailto:funding at soton.ac.uk> by 28th November 2019 (17:00).

An internal selection panel will evaluate the EoIs against the criteria in the Call.  Feedback will be given to all applicants by Friday 13 December 2019.  Further support will be offered to shortlisted candidates in the preparation of their outline application to UKRI.

Up to £18 million is available to fund 10-15 fellows for 5 years from 1st January 2021.

Note that the scheme is targeted to researchers with significant research experience and is not suitable for applicants considering early career fellowships from UKRI.
