Considering doing a PhD with us?
This is why this might be a good idea!
As a PhD student at the John Lab, you’ll have the opportunity to be part of a dynamic and ambitious team while also benefiting from our location in the Digital Environments Research Institute (DERI). DERI is Queen Mary’s interdisciplinary initiative in artificial intelligence. DERI brings together experts from across the University to tackle some of the biggest challenges in AI research and development. In addition, DERI has connections to the Alan Turing Institute, a national institute for data science and artificial intelligence based in London. These collaborations provide our students with access to a wealth of knowledge and resources, and the opportunity to be part of a larger network of researchers and institutions.
Queen Mary is a top-reated, research-intensive University at the heart of London, and a member of the prestigious Russell Group. We believe that the combination of our top-notch research, welcoming culture, and excellent institutional support make the John Lab the perfect place for motivated and talented PhD students to thrive.
But it’s not just about the research – we pride ourselves on being a friendly and approachable group, with an open-door policy that allows for easy communication and collaboration. Our group leader, Cedric, is always available to chat and offer guidance.
Prospective Post-Doc
As a postdoc at the John Lab, you’ll have the opportunity to be part of a dynamic and ambitious team of researchers at the forefront of their fields.
You will enter an extremely supportive lab that offers postdocs a lot of freedom to pursue their own interests within the research focus of the group. Many of our former postdocs have gone on to secure permanent academic positions, and we have a strong track record of successfully transitioning postdocs into academia.
In addition, the ecoystem of DERI offers a major interdisciplinary initiative in artificial intelligence, and theAlan Turing Institute – a leading center for data science and AI research – provide our postdocs with access to a wealth of knowledge and resources, and the opportunity to be part of a larger network of researchers and institutions.
