Are you a machine learning engineer with experience prototyping AI agents?

Join us at Nesta for a three-to-four month paid residency (part-time, starting in September 2025) to help us explore how AI agents can be harnessed for public good.

More information about the role and what we are offering can be found in the open call document.

If you are interested in applying, please send your CV or LinkedIn profile and an example of your work (such as a GitHub repository where you have made critical contributions) to [email protected] along with your answers to the following questions:

1. What skills and experience would you bring to the residency? (Max 250 words - shorter is fine)
2. Identify an area within Nesta's missions where agentic AI could reduce administrative burden or automate complex workflows. What would the AI agent need to do, how would you approach prototyping this solution, and what challenges would you anticipate? (Max 500 words - shorter is fine)

The application deadline is Sunday 20 July at 23:59pm.

We are keen to have the broadest lived experience possible represented as part of the programme. If you have had a non-traditional career in this sector, we would like to hear from you.
