Supporting your research with data science, AI and software engineering

What we offer

• We operate a free Ask-JGI helpdesk for shorter queries, providing up to one day of support from a team of postgraduates who are supervised by our team. This service is open to all staff and doctoral students at the University.
• We provide in-depth, costed support from our pool of Data Scientists, AI Engineers and Research Software Engineers (RSEs). We can be costed on funding applications (for example, at 50% FTE for a 6-month project) or paid from an existing grant or project.

If you have a question or potential project, please contact our helpdesk and we will be happy to discuss further.

Below are some examples of the types of work we can help with.
