Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship at Imperial College London (AI for Cryo-EM / Computational Light-Field Microscopy for Neuroscience) Imperial College London in United Kingdom

Imperial College London is advertising a two-year Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship (and related Schmidt-supported roles) through the I-X Centre for AI in Science. The post shared by Professor Pier Luigi Dragotti highlights opportunities in his group, which works on AI for Cryo-EM and computational light-field microscopy for neuroscience.

This is a strong fit for researchers interested in artificial intelligence, computer science, biomedical engineering, biology, neuroscience, and computational imaging. The fellowship is based at the White City Campus within the I-X Centre for AI in Science, with close ties to the mentor’s research group.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must secure an Imperial mentor before submission; the mentor must be a permanent member of staff in Imperial’s Academic and Research Family. For the Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship, applicants should typically have several years of post-PhD experience and experience supervising team members. The page also notes a Research Associate level for those more recently out of the PhD. If the principal mentor is in Mathematics, applicants should instead consider the Chapman-Schmidt route for the 2-year fellowship starting in September 2026.

Application materials: a completed application form, CV, a one-page-or-less publication elaboration covering up to three papers, and a one-page-or-less research proposal summary including the project title. The fellowship page states that applications must be fully supported by an identified Imperial mentor.

Deadline: the page says applications are due by 23:59 on the last day advertised; the post specifically mentions an internal departmental deadline of 3 July.

This is a funded postdoctoral fellowship supported by Schmidt Sciences, with cohort-based training, career development support, and access to Imperial courses and networks.
