The Alan Turing Institute is offering an exciting opportunity for early career researchers and post-docs.
The Data Study Group (DSG) PI is an opportunity to work with an industrial, government or 3rd sector organisation. You will scope and shape a challenge for the Turing’s DSG with potential for continued and expanded follow up work after the event. The Turing will administrate contracts, IT and researchers, and fully support the DSG PI, while their sole focus will be on the scientific questions to be investigated. Please see the website for further information or visit https://www.turing.ac.uk/collaborate-turing/data-study-groups/get-involved-pi.
This is an exceptional opportunity to
