The Defence & Security programme at The Alan Turing Institute is looking to expand a newly formed team of data scientists working on real-world problems in the radio frequency domain aligned with defending and securing the UK.
CANDIDATE PROFILE The ideal candidate is inquisitive, enjoys solving complex, challenging problems, and thinks creatively to find non-obvious solutions. We are a cross-disciplinary team and encourage applications from both generalists and specialists including those who self-identify as software engineers, computer scientists, machine learning practitioners, physicists, mathematicians, statisticians or more widely as data scientists or data engineers.
DUTIES AND AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY Engage with scientists from the EME's Defence and Security partners Apply state-of-the-art Machine Learning, Data Science, and radio frequency techniques emerging from the Institute, broader academia and industry to problems faced by EME partners, both as part of unclassified EME projects and on partner systems. Provide technical project management and leadership for research projects Take ownership of a particular domain challenge area or methodology for the group. Develop novel multi-modal AI approaches to the fusion of data from multiple sensors Develop new techniques for the detection, recognition, identification, localisation, and exploitation (DRILE) of radio frequency signals.
Person Specification PhD or equivalent professional experience in a field with significant use of both computer programming and advanced statistical or numerical methods Practical experience applying Machine Learning to real world problems or strong theoretical knowledge and academic experience with ML and adjacent topics or demonstrated experience developing algorithms for transmitting, processing and analysing radio frequency signals Fluency in one or more modern programming languages such as Python Experience leading a research project with a focus on AI or Radar or Communications and Networks.
