About this position
The University of Glasgow is seeking a Research Fellow in Applied AI for the Energy Transition within the James Watt School of Engineering. The role is part of a major UKRI-funded Fellowship led by Dr Róisín Buckley and sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, scientific machine learning and subsurface engineering.
The research will develop physics-informed machine-learning approaches to improve understanding of the subsurface, supporting the deployment of offshore wind and other net-zero energy infrastructure. The Research Fellow will work on uncertainty quantification, predictive modelling and geospatial data integration to improve subsurface characterisation and decision-making for offshore renewable-energy developments.
The project offers opportunities for methodological advances in machine learning and uncertainty-aware modelling while addressing challenges in offshore renewable energy. Prior experience in geotechnics, geophysics or offshore engineering is not required; the work welcomes researchers from computational, mathematical, physical-science and engineering backgrounds.
The successful researcher will join an interdisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists and geophysicists, with opportunities to collaborate with academic and industrial partners across the UK’s artificial-intelligence and data-science ecosystem. Access to world-class experimental and computational facilities will support research at the interface of geophysics, engineering and AI.
The role also involves developing a strong research profile, contributing to publications and conferences, building collaborations, supporting funding development, and mentoring or supervising students and less experienced colleagues.

What's required
Normally a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer science, statistics, data science, engineering, applied mathematics, physics or a closely related discipline. Applicants should have up-to-date subject knowledge, specialist research-method knowledge, excellent scientific programming skills, experience with modern machine-learning frameworks, experience applying machine-learning methods to scientific, engineering, environmental, geospatial or physical-system datasets, and a track record of presenting and publishing research. Commitment to open research, collegiality, timely delivery, independent research, and analysis and drafting of papers is required. Experience with large complex datasets, reproducible workflows, interdisciplinary teams, research impact, or higher-education teaching is desirable. Applicants must have the right to live and work in the UK or be eligible to obtain permission to work in the UK.
