DeepMind Postdoctoral Fellowship

The DeepMind Postdoctoral Fellowship is designed to nurture the next generation of AI researchers by placing them at leading UK universities with full funding from Google DeepMind. The fellowship supports researchers who want to pursue ambitious, independent research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and other scientific disciplines, including biology, physics, mathematics, neuroscience, and beyond.

DeepMind has established fellowship partnerships with several top UK universities, including University College London (UCL), the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and others. Fellows hold their positions at the university and have access to DeepMind's research community, including seminars, reading groups, and informal collaboration with DeepMind researchers. The program explicitly encourages work that bridges AI methodology with scientific applications.

The fellowship reflects DeepMind's founding mission to "solve intelligence and then use it to solve everything else." DeepMind's research breakthroughs — including AlphaFold (protein structure prediction), AlphaGo (game-playing AI), and contributions to weather forecasting and materials science — demonstrate the potential of AI-driven scientific discovery. The postdoctoral fellowship aims to grow the pipeline of researchers who can carry this work forward.
