WHY FACULTY?
We established Faculty in 2014 because we thought that AI would be the most important technology of our time. Since then, we’ve worked with over 350 global customers to transform their performance through human-centric AI. You can read about our real-world impact here https://faculty.ai/impact.
We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.
Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.
AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you’ll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.
WHY THE FACULTY FELLOWSHIP?
Artificial Intelligence is the defining technology of our age, but it is only valuable when applied to the real world. Since 2014, Faculty has helped over 500 PhDs, postdocs and engineers transition into high-impact careers in data science and machine learning.
How it works:
- 2 Weeks of Intensive Training: Learn to apply your advanced technical knowledge to real-world data science problems.
- 6 Week Paid Placement: Tackle a commercial data science project with a host company (paid at the London Living Wage).
- Demo Day Finale: Present your work to 100+ guests and industry leaders from across the UK and Europe.
Where our alumni go: Our alumni have gone on to shape the future at companies like Google, Meta, Tesco, and AstraZeneca, as well as disruptive startups like PhysicsX and Orbital Witness. We are also incredibly proud that a high percentage of fellows choose to continue their journey internally, joining the Faculty team permanently.
