Named in honour of Alan Turing, the Institute is a place for inspiring, exciting work and we need passionate, sharp, and innovative people who want to use their skills to contribute to our mission to make great leaps in data science and AI research to change the world for the better.
Please find more information about us here
The Institute has cross-disciplinarity at its core; we bring researchers in mathematics and theoretical computer science, statistics and machine learning, algorithms for data analytics and distributed computing, computational social science and data ethics, software engineers and industry partners, to work together in an open and collaborative environment with a shared goal to generate world-class research in data science and artificial intelligence.
Currently, Turing is undergoing a restructuring, moving towards a challenge-led model with three Grand Challenges (Environment & Sustainability, Health, Defence & National Security). This will be supported by a cross-cutting Fundamental Research in Data Science and AI priorityarea. This new Turing 2.0 strategy model focuses on world-class science and innovation and aims to generate high-quality research and translate it into real-world impact and deployment.
We have established strategic partnerships with a broad range of data science and AI users including Lloyd’s Register Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Accenture, the UK Government Defence and Security, the Office of National Statistics, The National Air Traffic Service, Singapore Defence & Security Organisation and Roche. We have also developed many project collaborations with businesses, government departments and charities.
We are now looking to focus our efforts to ensure we can attract the right partners to maximise successes and impact across our strategic priorities, including our Grand Challenges.
We invite you to join us as we grow our capability, supporting our goal to develop the next generation of data science and artificial intelligence, shape the public conversation, and push the boundaries of this new science for the public good.
