About us
We are
Digital Science and we are advancing the research ecosystem. We are a pioneering technology company, and our vision is of a future where a trusted and collaborative research ecosystem drives progress for all. We believe in better, open, collaborative and inclusive research. In creating the next generation of tools and working in partnership with the community we tackle some of the biggest challenges to research. In order to achieve our vision, we need innovative, inspiring and dynamic people to join our team. Want to join us?
Your new role
At Digital Science we believe in the importance of a continuous adaptation process through innovations driven by the early translation of outcomes from the forefront of applied research and latest technologies for the benefit of our customers.
In your new role you will be part of an agile, small team whose mission is to continuously generate and evaluate new ideas driven by the latest developments in AI and NLP (Natural Language Processing). This includes open source and our own Transformer models, Prompt Engineering for and integration with LLMs like ChatGPT or PALM/Gemini, Traditional ML and more.
You will help us to generate and translate cutting edge research and innovative ideas into prototypes for a variety of new use cases across the whole Digital Science universe. The applications and models are thereby fuelled by the vast amount of textual, structured and interlinked data from our huge Dimensions scientific search and analytics platform. These rapid-prototypes allow us to make early decisions before transmitting the ideas to the DS production teams for final integration.
