We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to join the EPSRC-funded AIRE project, developing next-generation AI systems for early identification of respiratory conditions through telephone-based interactions. You will work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, telecommunications and digital health, contributing to the design of conversational AI capable of conducting clinical history-taking, analysing speech and language signals, and supporting earlier intervention for respiratory disease.

Working with an interdisciplinary team of engineers, computer scientists and healthcare professionals, you will develop and evaluate novel approaches for conversational AI, multimodal machine learning, large language models, speech analytics and clinical decision support. The project aims to improve access to healthcare through scalable, accessible telephone-based assessment technologies, helping identify individuals who may benefit from further clinical investigation.

You should have a strong background in one or more of the following areas: artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, speech processing, data science, digital health, telecommunications, or software engineering. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to impactful research with clear societal benefit while working in a collaborative environment at the forefront of AI-enabled healthcare innovation.  

This role will be based on the University campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to research at the leading edge of advanced ceramic capacitor discovery, joining an EPSRC-funded project within Dr. Lu's Group. This experimentally based project seeks to develop high entropy BiFeO3-based dielectric ceramics for next-generation multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with significantly enhanced energy storage performance and extended operational temperature ranges. Current MLCCs are limited to operating temperatures of 150°C and insufficient energy storage density, creating critical bottlenecks for integration with wide bandgap semiconductors in power electronics. By applying a high entropy strategy, this project aims to achieve unprecedented simultaneous enhancement of energy recoverable density, efficiency, breakdown strength, and operating temperature range from -55 to 250°C. The programme will employ advanced structural characterisation tools and comprehensive functional property measurements to systematically investigate the relationship between composition, entropy level, crystal structure, and energy storage performance.

Holding a PhD (or close to completion) in Materials Science, Physics, or a closely allied discipline, you will have a strong background in dielectrics, ferroelectrics, or functional oxide materials. You will also have experience of ceramic/complex oxide fabrication, processing, and characterisation, with a strong emphasis on electrical property measurement techniques and advanced structure determination methods, including X-ray/neutron scattering and/or electron microscopy, as well as experience in the interpretation of experimental data for advanced crystal structure determination, such as Rietveld refinement or pair distribution function analysis.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

As a member of the School you will contribute to the delivery of student education with particular emphasis on training students in CAD and engineering design. You will lead and deliver modules in these areas as directed by the Head of School and the Director of Student Education, working with colleagues to ensure this training aligns to subsequent modules in our research-led curriculum and meets the requirements of our external professional bodies. These modules will be delivered on campus in Leeds and, in some cases, may be delivered at our Joint School in China. You will also be involved in running a number of design and build ‘competitions’ as part of our degree programmes and provide tutorial and project supervision.
