The Alan Turing Institute

Now entering its eighth year, the Turing Enrichment Scheme offers students currently enrolled on a doctoral programme at a UK university the opportunity to enrich their doctoral studies by building connections with The Alan Turing Institute and engaging with its diverse community of researchers. Students continue their doctorate with their current supervisor at their home university, while gaining the opportunity to learn new methodologies, build new collaborations and develop research independence.

Successful applicants will be offered the opportunity to undertake a 6 or 9 month placement at the Turing HQ in London. This award carries an expectation that holders will engage in person at the office for a minimum of 2 days per week (subject to the office being open and government health guidelines). Up to 55 awards will be offered and will become active in October 2023 or January 2024 at the candidate’s choice. A placement award of £472.50 per month will be provided to facilitate relocating or commuting to the Turing HQ.

There is no typical Enrichment student, and applications are encouraged from candidates from diverse academic disciplines and whose research embraces the Turing’s ethos of interdisciplinary collaboration within data science and artificial intelligence.

The Turing is offering two face-to-face Open Events for potential applicants, on 25th November 2022 and 9th December 2022. Following this, an online Q&A session will be offered on 11th January 2023 ahead of the application deadline. Numbers for the Open Events will be limited and offered on a first come first served basis. There will also be an opportunity for prospective students to apply for travel and accommodation subsistence to support their attendance.

To find out more, including how to apply, please see: Enrichment scheme | The Alan Turing Institute.

If you have questions about the Enrichment scheme or require any adjustments to the application process please contact the Turing Academic Recruitment team at academic-recruitment@turing.ac.uk. 

Applications should be made directly to the Alan Turing Institute by Wednesday 18th January 2023, 12 noon GMT.
