Data Scientists perform investigations based on requirements from D&S partners to derisk new techniques or technologies and create proof-of-concept work to inform future research. Investigations often involve understanding whether a new approach is suitable for a particular problem, how academic research performs when applied in real-world situations, and what the potential drawbacks of adopting a new technology are.\n\nARC projects span a variety of data types, including text, image, audio, and graph, and have aims ranging from recommending solutions for a problem faced by a specific team, to informing best practices for common challenges faced by data scientists across the D&NS community.\n\nABOUT YOU \n\nThe successful candidate will have a strong background in computer programming and advanced statistical or numerical methods, gained through a PhD or equivalent professional experience, alongside practical experience or a demonstrable interest in Deep Learning and AI. You will bring strong skills in managing, analysing and visualising research data and be able to rapidly understand new computational and algorithmic ideas and apply them effectively within unfamiliar domains to solve real world problems. To succeed in this role, you’ll need excellent written verbal communication skills as you will present technical findings clearly, produce high-quality reports and work effectively with collaborators and stakeholders. \n\nHOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT\n\nUnderstand the problems of the Turing’s partners and develop appropriate approaches to solving them.\n\nApply state-of-the-art Deep Learning and data science techniques emerging from the Institute, broader academia and industry to problems faced by ARC partners.\n\nPerform rigorous investigations into new algorithms and applications, providing feedback that informs partner decisions and producing high-quality proof-of-concept outputs.\n\nDesign and carry out rigorous experimentation and development with some guidance from Senior and Principal staff.\n\nPresent, disseminate and explain our work: documenting capabilities, processes and systems for reuse across domains; presenting at Turing events, reading groups, conferences and to partner stakeholders; publishing, supporting and maintaining research and prototype software.\n\nWork at pace in a highly collaborative environment, using industry-standard tooling for testing, version control and collaboration. \n\nPlease see our portal for a full breakdown of the Job Description.\n\nAPPLICATION PROCEDURE\n\nPlease see our jobs portal (via the 'Apply' button above) for full details on how to apply and the interview process.\n\nTERMS AND CONDITIONS\n\nThis post is offered on a fixed term basis, at an annual salary of £46, 415 - £52,494 plus excellent benefits, including flexible working and family friendly policies, which can be found here.\n\nEligibility for Security Check (SC) clearance is a requirement for this role. Eligibility criteria and further information on the process can be found on the UK Government security vetting website. \n\nEQUALITY DIVERSITY & INCLUSION\n\nWe value diversity of background, experience, and perspective, and are proud to be an inclusive employer. We warmly encourage applications from all backgrounds, particularly from groups currently under-represented in our sector.  If you feel passionate about this role but don’t meet every single requirement, please apply – we recognise that great candidates may bring strengths beyond the criteria listed. \n£46,415 to £52,494 plus excellent benefits,","description_format":"text","description_chars":3702,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Research Institutes"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-07T11:43:40Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["seen:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":70162,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/alan-turing-institute-data-scientist-arc","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/alan-turing-institute-data-scientist-arc.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T08:28:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6872,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":178424},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=178424"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Falan-turing-institute-data-scientist-arc"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Falan-turing-institute-data-scientist-arc"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Falan-turing-institute-data-scientist-arc"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/alan-turing-institute-data-scientist-arc\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Falan-turing-institute-data-scientist-arc"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3915598}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"turing.ac.uk","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3915598},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
