Aston University announces AI fellowships for up to four postdoctoral researchers

Aston University has shared that it is looking for up to four postdoctoral researchers for its new AI fellowships.

Up to four researchers will be chosen to join the university’s work on AI, delivering real-world impact across society, business, and industry.

The roles offered will cover topics such as AI in healthcare, transport, and arts. Other areas of focus could include agentic AI focused on decisions rather than content creation, generative AI and misinformation detection technologies.

The interdisciplinary positions will work across the university within its business school, The Sir Peter Rigby Digital Futures Institute and its School of Computer Science and Digital Technologies.

"The Sir Peter Rigby Digital Futures Institute is pushing the boundaries of advanced AI and generative AI technologies as well as their application within business settings and public sector environments,” says Professor Abdul Hamid Sadka, Director of The Sir Peter Rigby Digital Futures Institute.

“The new Aston AI Fellows will join a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment aligned with our Aston 2030 Strategy, contributing to cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence.”

Director of the Aston-Capgemini Centre of Excellence for Enterprise AI, Professor Alexeis Garcia Perez adds: “Our unique partnership with Capgemini means our research doesn’t stay theoretical. We work directly with enterprise leaders to turn the potential of AI into tangible business value and societal impact.”
