The Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI) is a £3.64m strategic investment by the University of Sheffield that will cement our status as a world-leading institution for research and education in AI. The CMI will create a vibrant interdisciplinary research environment that recognises our unique strengths, such as those in the social sciences, manufacturing, autonomous systems, health, energy, digital humanities and digital twins. The Centre will work closely with stakeholders in industry, government, higher education and non-profit organisations to significantly raise our profile in interdisciplinary AI research and innovation.


It is currently appointing Fellows for three of its four interdisciplinary research themes. Successful applicants will work closely with the AI theme lead for their area of specialisation.

  • Human-Centric AI - This theme will address challenges in social interaction, using AI for good and conforming to legal and ethical norms.
  • AI-Enabled Research - This theme will transform research across all disciplines by providing new methods for understanding a wide range of data (images, sound, sequences, etc.), detecting key or rare events in massive data sets, extracting new insights in scientific and health data.
  • AI for Engineering and Manufacturing - This theme will enable efficient and robust manufacturing processes, novel design and production of chemicals and materials, and accessible AI-driven manufacturing systems.
