Allowing computers to gain human perception through machine learning
Until recently, the unstructured nature of our human world has been very hard for computers to understand, but we are no longer constrained by text-centric ways of interacting with information. Advancements in artificial intelligence and deep learning are changing the way we interact with our everyday devices. Humans no longer have to adapt to the limitations of computing. Instead, our devices have ‘intelligence’, and can understand the context of their real-world environment.
Backed by Invoke Capital, some of Europe’s most successful technology entrepreneurs, Neurence was founded by a group of world-leading mathematicians, neuroscientists, linguists and engineers from the University of Cambridge. Our highly-skilled team are developing sophisticated self-learning AI solutions. And as our everyday devices learn to be like us, this means we can throw real-life problems at them.
We’re making breakthroughs in deep learning solutions combined with machine learning techniques to solve a number of the world’s most pressing commercial issues, in areas including health, finance, computer vision and audio analytics.

Mike Lynch, OBE FREng FRS
Mike Lynch is regarded as Britain's most successful technology entrepreneur and has a proven track record of identifying and monetising fundamental technologies. Spun out from his previous company, Neurodynamics, which he sold in 2005, Mike founded Autonomy in 1996 based on technology invented at Cambridge University, where Dr Lynch studied Information Sciences, received a Ph.D. and held a research fellowship in adaptive pattern recognition. He was awarded an OBE for Services to Enterprise in 2006. Mike is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, an honorary fellow of Christ's College Cambridge and a non-executive director of the British Library. He is also a scientific advisor to the UK Prime Minister.
Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Researcher required to apply deep learning techniques to problems in areas including health, finance, econometrics, computer vision and audio analytics. The employment level is flexible - applicants with no prior experience will be considered and offered training if successful, while experience in deep learning at a post-graduate level is a requirement for a more senior position.
A degree or a post graduate degree in computer science, engineering (electrical / electronic / information), mathematics (pure / applied / statistics), physics or any other subject with a strong mathematics or data science element.
The job requires good numerical and analytical skills.
Basic level computer programming is a minimum.
Good ability to program, especially in python, is an advantage.
