We are delighted to announce that Accelerate Science 2025 funding call in collaboration with the Cambridge Centre for Data Driven Discovery (C2D3) is now live!

We are offering small grants for Cambridge University researchers pursuing innovative applications of AI in research or real-world contexts with a focus on inter and multidisciplinary collaboration.

This year applications are open under three categories:

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

Apply for funding to form world-leading partnerships with collaborators in Japan in the field of artificial intelligence and data science.

Your application must involve researchers from both Japan and the UK.

UK applicants must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding. Japan-based applicants must be eligible for JST funding.

You may request up to:

Department of Medicine

We wish to recruit a Data Scientist to join the Cambridge-GSK Translational Immunology Collaboration (CG-TIC), a new partnership between the University of Cambridge and GSK. Focused on kidney and respiratory diseases, the collaboration leverages the world class capabilities of Cambridge University to provide transformational impact for patients, while aligning with GSK R&D strategic priorities.

Environment & Sustainability Grand Challenge - Sustainability Mission
There is an increasing immediacy in our discussion around climate change, with many experts expecting keeping global temperatures below +1.5°C pre-industrial levels to be impossible. This indicates an urgency in how we decarbonise, we can’t wait for net-zero solutions, we must act now. AI provides methods to immediately reduce emissions and fight climate change.

Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

The van der Schaar Lab (https://www.vanderschaar-lab.com/) is a world-leading research group developing cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies with the aim of driving a revolution in healthcare. The lab is looking for a talented, passionate individual to communicate its research through a combination of strategic thinking, targeted engagement, and compelling content creation.

Department of Medicine

Department of Public Health and Primary Care, Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented researcher to join our team as part of the Green Algorithms Initiative in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care, one of Europe's leading academic departments of population health sciences. The post will suit researchers interested in improving our understanding and mitigating the environmental impacts of data centres and artificial intelligence.

The ESRC have announced their New Investigator Grant scheme. This scheme is suitable for early career researchers who have yet to make the transition to be an independent researcher. Proposals are welcome in any topic which falls within ESRC’s remit, including projects at the “interface with the wider sciences”, provided that social sciences accounts for at least 50% of the proposed research.

The University of Cambridge and the University of Canterbury have a reciprocal visitor exchange programme between the two universities entitled the Cambridge–Canterbury Exchange Programme.

Applications are invited for two visiting fellowships at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Academic staff members of any subject may apply. Further particulars may be obtained from the Strategic Partnerships Office at https://www.strategic-partnerships.admin.cam.ac.uk/exchange-programmes.
