The Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI) plans to appoint a Research Professor (Grade 11) to support the Centre's activities. This is a part-time position at 0.6 FTE for a period of one year to provide temporary cover, to start on the 01 January 2026.
Founders at the University of Cambridge is accepting applications for SYNC 2.0, Cambridge’s co-founder matching accelerator. This part-time programme brings together over 40 students, researchers and alumni to form co-founding teams and launch startups. Whether you’ve been exploring an idea for years, tackling challenges through side projects or spotting problems in industry, SYNC is for those ready to act now, building a startup and going full-time.
The DTNet+ research community is pleased to announce the first Perspectives on the Societal Impact of Digital Twins Conference. The conference will be held at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK. It aims to explore how digital twin technologies shape society both positively and negatively. This interdisciplinary event will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and public sector attendees to discuss how we can amplify the benefits of digital twins while recognising and mitigating potential harms.
Google’s Gemini offer for students: free access for students to Gemini Pro for 12 months. This includes Gemini App, NotebookLM and 2TB of free storage. We hope this offer will foster innovation and help students with more powerful and personalised ways to learn

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the general area of wearable sensing systems for the ear and the head, wearable signal processing and sensing data machine learning to join the Mobile Systems Research Laboratory at the University of Cambridge.
The Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) are inviting proposals for a series of short, exploratory projects to be undertaken using existing AI Scientist systems. They are specifically looking for AI systems that can perform the full end-to-end workflow of scientific knowledge creation. This includes:
The recent publication of AI-driven protein structure prediction methods, such as AlphaFold, Boltz-1, Chai and RosettaFold has opened a host of new possibilities for working with protein sequences and structures. At Cambridge University, the people working with (AI-driven) protein structure prediction methods are spread over different groups and departments, with often only one person in a group working with these methods.
Cambridge Stem Cell Institute (SBS)
Fixed-term: The funds for this post in the first instance is are available for 24 months.
The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute is an international centre of excellence for stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Scientists in the Institute collaborate to advance our knowledge of various stem cell types and to perform pioneering work in translational research areas, providing the foundation for new medical treatments (https://www.stemcells.cam.ac.uk/).
Funders: UKRI via Responsible Ai UK
Apply for funding to support collaboration in the domain of Responsible Artificial Intelligence to ensure society deploys and uses AI in a responsible way. This funding covers travel and subsistence for UK researchers to collaborate within the UK or internationally or for UK-based researchers to host international visitors (i.e., flight and subsistence, accommodation in the UK).
