[TYPES/announce] Alan Turing Institute Fellowships

[James Cheney]

[I'm certainly hoping some people working on PL/types/probabilistic
programming/static analysis applied to big data will apply. --James]

== Alan Turing Fellowships ==

This is a unique opportunity for early career researchers to join The Alan
Turing Institute. The Alan Turing Institute is the UK's new national data
science institute, established to bring together world-leading expertise to
provide leadership in the emerging field of data science. The Institute has
been founded by the universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, UCL and
Warwick and EPSRC.

Fellowships are available for 3 years with the potential for an additional
2 years of support following interim review. Fellows will pursue research
based at the Institute hub in the British Library, London. Fellowships will
be awarded to individual candidates and fellows will be employed by a joint
venture partner university (Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, UCL or Warwick).

Key requirements: Successful candidates are expected to have i) a PhD in a
data science (or adjacent) subject (or to have submitted their doctorate
before taking up the post), ii) an excellent publication record and/or
demonstrated excellent research potential such as via preprints, iii) a
novel and challenging research agenda that will advance the strategic
objectives of the Institute, and iv) leadership potential. Fellowships are
open to all qualified applicants regardless of background.

Alan Turing Fellowship applications can be made in all data science
research areas. The Institute's research roadmap is available at https://
turing.ac.uk/#the-vision . In addition to this open call, there are two
specific fellowship programmes:

== Fellowships addressing data-centric engineering ==

The Lloyd's Register Foundation (LRF) / Alan Turing Institute programme to
support data-centric engineering is a 5-year, £10M global programme,
delivered through a partnership between LRF and the Alan Turing Institute.
This programme will secure high technical standards (for example the
next-generation algorithms and analytics) to enhance the safety of life and
property around the major infrastructure upon which modern society relies.
For further information on data-centric engineering, see LRF's Foresight
Review of Big Data. Applications for Fellowships under this call, which
address the aims of the LRF/Turing programme, may also be considered for
funding under the data-centric engineering programme. Fellowships awarded
under this programme may vary from the conditions given above; for more
details contact fellowship at turing.ac.uk.

== Fellowships addressing data analytics and high-performance computing ==

Intel and the Alan Turing Institute will be supporting additional
Fellowships in data analytics and high-performance computing. Applications
for Fellowships under this call may also be considered for funding under
the joint Intel-Alan Turing Institute programme. Fellowships awarded under
this joint programme may vary from the conditions given above; for more
details contact fellowship at turing.ac.uk.

Diversity and equality are promoted in all aspects of the recruitment and
career management of our researchers. In keeping with the principles of the
Institute, we especially encourage applications from female researchers.
