We are happy to share that the first research collaboration fund between Imperial and Science Tokyo is now open to applications until 31 July 2026. There are also several emerging Japan-UK funding opportunities available to support long-term research partnerships.
This new fund aims to support new, early-stage collaboration between academics and researchers at Imperial and Institute of Science Tokyo. Researchers from both universities are eligible to apply.
This is an open call, and research proposals aligned with the themes under Imperial’s School of Convergence Science and Science Tokyo’s Visionary Initiatives are particularly encouraged to apply.
Deadline to apply: 31 July 2026
(1) Expression of interest: Japan-UK joint call for collaborations in Advanced Connectivity Technologies
This joint call between EPSRC and NICT aims to encourage Japan-UK collaborations on advanced connectivity technologies. Research related to integration of AI in digital networks, non-terrestrial networks, and advanced optical and photonics are encouraged to apply.
UK applicants must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding. Japanese applicants must be eligible for NICT funding.
Deadline to apply: 8 September 2026, 16:00 (BST)
The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) recently announced an increased focus on internationalisation, encouraging research collaborations between Japanese and overseas institutions. As of April 2026, overseas collaborators applying as Co-Principal Investigators to the CREST program may also be considered for funding from JST with suitable justification.
Applications typically open annually in April. For more information, please see the JST website for future funding calls and application guidelines
The Francis Crick Institute invites staff and students from its partner universities to register their interest in attending a one-day beginners course to learn the necessary skills to analyse their imaging data using the open-source FIJI application. https://www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/introduction-to-fiji-for-image-analysis
Held at the Francis Crick Institute in London, the course mixes classroom-based theory with practical sessions, guiding participants from the fundamentals of image analysis, through best practices, and finishing with hands-on macro scripting.
No prior experience is required, although a basic understanding of microscopy and image acquisition will be beneficial.
The course has been developed by experts from the Crick Advanced Light Microscopy (CALM) science technology platform, which provides cutting-edge imaging and image analysis services and training to researchers across the institute.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Register by 26 June
The Disability Advisory Service is pleased to announce that this year, we will be offering screenings and full diagnostic assessments throughout July, August and the first half of September.

The Early Career Researcher Institute (ECRI) is carrying out a survey to find out how Early Career Researchers (ranging from doctoral students to early career lecturers) use generative AI as part of their research process.
Our goal is to understand what practices are currently common in the community with a view to disseminating best practice, informing the teaching provision we provide to the community, and advocating on the behalf of ECRs in the Imperial community at large.
The link can be found here, and should take around 10 minutes to complete
About the role:
Applications are invited for prestigious Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Fellowships, a program of Schmidt Sciences, commencing 1 September 2027.
What you would be doing:
The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Ai in Science Fellows will produce independent and original research, using AI to advance science within their host department and the I-X Centre for AI in Science. These fellowships have the aim of identifying excellent researchers and accelerating them in using AI to advance and disrupt Science or Engineering. Here ‘AI’ is interpreted very broadly, e.g.: topics in Bayesian Inference and Robotics; ‘Science’ covers any typical topic in Natural Science and Engineering (Epidemiology, Biology and basic science in biomedicine are included but clinical medical themes are not covered, including conventional medical imaging). Examples include Bayesian optimization for molecular or materials design; machine learning for single cell data; physics-based ML for turbine design and astrostatistics. These posts are not suitable for generic AI research with general application: candidates must be aiming to substantially advance a particular area of science. Applicants could view themselves as AI researchers tackling particular pieces of science or science researchers using AI to transform their area. Extensive AI knowledge is not required, and AI training is offered.
What we are looking for:
Candidates will:
What we can offer you:
Fellows will join the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Network of researchers and will join a unique co-located cohort of top scholars based in the I-X Centre for AI in Science with tailored training and one-on-one career development. The fellowships are flexible and independent, allowing recipients to freely explore while drawing on expert faculty mentors of their choice.
We have a programme of additional support for women in AI in Science including a coaching circle for women in AI, additional funds for their career development and a community of I-X AI in Science women. The I-X Women in Artificial Intelligence (IXWAI) founded by two of our current Fellows aims to enhance representation of women in AI and foster an environment where they are valued, supported and inspired to achieve their full potential. We expect to appoint at least one candidate through this route.
Further Information
These are full time, fixed term position for 2 years. You will be based at White City Campus.
Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as a Research Assistant.
If you have any queries about these opportunities, please contact Eileen Boyce at e.boyce@imperial.ac.uk
Joint Fellowships
We have partnered with the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) and the CNRS. If you are applying for one of these joint fellowships, we require that the principal mentor be in Imperial, but a secondary supervisor must be at ICR/CNRS. Please indicate if this is a joint fellowship by ticking the appropriate ICR/CNRS tick box in the online application form. Please note that these applications will require an institutional letter of support and ICR and CNRS will have their own internal process with a deadline ahead of the closing date below. The ICR deadline will be Monday 29th June at 9am. You must contact Becky Cook (rebecca.cook@icr.ac.uk) at ICR and Carl Iamov carl.ialamov@cnrs.fr and/or Louis Avigdor louis.avigdor@cnrs-dir.fr at CNRS to confirm these internal processes and deadlines
Are you coming up to a viva or other assessed presentation? Are you keen to work on your public speaking or seminar skills?
Whether you’re an undergraduate or a postgraduate, our guided activity sessions for speaking can help you achieve success on your academic journey and beyond. Sessions are designed to give you the space and opportunity to prepare and rehearse for both everyday and high-stakes activities here at Imperial. Each session includes input tailored to academic STEMM settings and structured practice opportunities. There will be expert feedback and peer review to help you hone your skills.
The live, 50-minute, interactive sessions are held at different times and on different days throughout term, so you can access what you need, when you need it. We offer both on-campus and online options; check out the schedule. You can do as many as you like.
We’re looking for an experienced contributor to join the Executive Education programme Transforming Business with AI, running from 13–17 July. This person would support a small number of afternoon sessions during the week, bringing practical insight into how AI systems are designed, adopted, and used in real organisational settings.
We’re looking for someone who brings together strong academic foundations with hands‑on experience working with businesses and executive audiences.
What we’re looking for:
