Role Description

Are you looking for an opportunity to create significant impact and influence a new large data set model in parallel with a new Large Language Model (LLM)? We are offering a unique opportunity to drive the development and iterative improvement of both a new large dataset model and an associated LLM tool to generate informative report-based outputs.

About the Role

Your role will be to contribute to the data capture, recording and iterative development of large data and the associated interrogation techniques, data visualisation through reporting and Large Language Model (LLM).

You will be responsible for:

  • The manual and computational capture and recording of large data sets, the design and integration techniques to enable data validation, integrity, analysis, output validation and reporting.
  • Develop integrative strategies for a diverse set of data, integrating the outcomes to inform future projected trend analysis.
  • Apply statistical and machine learning to project future data analysis.
  • Manage and analyse large datasets using efficient data structures and providing infrastructure for sharing resources.
  • Develop research objectives and proposals for own or joint research, with assistance of a mentor if required.
  • Apply knowledge in a way which develops new intellectual understanding. For example, generative AI, deep learning-based methods.

    The responsibilities of this role are split between our Shrivenham and Cranfield sites. This post can be based at either, with travel to the other site as required.

    About You

    You will have extensive experience of working with large datasets and/or working with Large Language Models. Candidates are expected to have a history of developing models using large data sources and methods. You will have the ability to interact with academic and industry partners to explain complex ideas to non-scientists in a comprehensible way.

    We value your ability to work independently and self-motivate, enabling you to find innovative and practical solutions to complex problems.

    You will need to successfully undertake a Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) check to be offered the role.
