About this position
Bournemouth University is advertising two fixed-term Post Doctoral Research Assistant posts in the Computing and Informatics area, working at Weymouth House (Bournemouth - Talbot) within the Data Science & Intelligent Systems group. The project is FRAME (A Model-Based Foundry for Engineering, Adapting, and Assuring the Quality of AI Agents), an EU project focused on trustworthy, scalable, end-to-end development, deployment, and evolution of AI agents.
The research will explore artificial intelligence, machine learning, agentic systems, large language models, continual learning, and adaptive AI systems. Depending on background, the successful candidate will work on one of several topics: indicators for distribution shift, forgetting, and transfer loss; evaluation of adaptation strategies and meta-learning/knowledge-driven approaches; or continual learning methods such as continual pre-training, domain-adaptive pre-training, and fine-tuning.
The post is suitable for candidates with a PhD in AI or machine learning and strong analytical, programming, communication, and scientific writing skills. The role emphasizes research design, conducting experiments, and producing published outputs. FRAME will be validated on real-world use cases including robotics, healthcare, and software development frameworks.
Funding includes a salary of £34,610–£39,906 per annum (pro rata) with progression opportunities to £43,482, plus support for international travel such as conferences, consortium meetings, and dissemination activities. The post is fixed-term for 15 months and 16 months. The closing date is 30 August 2026.
To apply, candidates should submit their CV with publication list, the formal application form, and a maximum 2-page motivation letter explaining fit for the role. For questions, contact Hamid Bouchachia at [email protected].
