KTP Research Associate in AI and Knowledge Systems

The University of Nottingham (UoN) invites applications for a KTP Research Associate in AI and Knowledge Systems to join our exciting collaboration with AEGIS Engineering Systems (AES) Limited (AEGIS). Based at AEGIS in London, you will report to the Head of Innovation and work closely with AEGIS’s Innovation team.

Fully supported by academic experts within the University’s School of Computer Science, including leading researchers from the Computational Optimisation and Learning (COL) and Cyber-physical Health and Assistive Robotics Technologies (CHART) research groups, you will lead a strategic project to develop an AI-powered knowledge capitalisation system (Prometheum) that combines the latest technologies in large language models and retrieval methods to enable engineering teams to access, structure and utilise organisational expertise efficiently.

As an enthusiastic researcher, this is a career-development opportunity for you to manage a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). Through the KTP, you will deliver a high-profile, commercially strategic project that will enable AEGIS to bring new, research-led knowledge essential for building a scalable, AI-driven system that captures, structures, and makes accessible the company’s extensive engineering expertise. Through this KTP, AEGIS will embed capabilities in cutting-edge AI technologies, formalise internal knowledge capitalisation processes, and enhance its innovation capacity.

You will have the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to develop innovative solutions and communicate complex information to a variety of audiences within AEGIS and its stakeholders.

The aim of this porject is to develop an AI-powered knowledge capitalisation system (Prometheum) that combines the latest technologies, enabling engineering teams to access, structure and utilise organisational expertise efficiently – increasing added value to the company’s engineering services and supporting business growth and innovation.
