The RAICo Fellowship Program invites women and early-career researchers passionate about robotics and artificial intelligence to apply for the fellowship.
The program is open to everyone who has completed their Ph.D. within the past five years and works as an academic staff member or a postdoctoral research associate at a UK research institution.
Successful applicants can apply for up to £20,000 in funding for costs. They must also be willing to regularly visit the RAICo facility in Whitehaven, Cumbria, or relevant nuclear sites throughout the fellowship. The award is available until the end of March 2025.
RAICo is a collaboration between the UK Atomic Energy Authority, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Sellafield Ltd, and the University of Manchester.
The partnership aims to accelerate the deployment of robotics and AI in nuclear decommissioning and fusion engineering.
By joining as RAICo Fellows, participants will contribute to expanding research expertise experience within RAICo, forge connections with academic partners, and translate cutting-edge research into practical solutions for nuclear-decommissioning challenges.
Applicants must be academic staff members or postdoctoral research associates at a UK research institution specializing in robotics and AI to be eligible for the program.
Candidates should be within five years of completing their PhD in robotics, AI, nuclear and fusion engineering.
RAICo develops remotely operated solutions or decommissioning, including in the nuclear industry, and for the operation and maintenance of future fusion powerplants.
Using robotics and AI, RAICo helps remove people from harmful environments across the atomic sector, achieving safer, faster, and more cost-effective solutions.
RAICo’s teams operate from all over the UK and are in northeast England, including Whitehaven, Warrington, Manchester, and Oxford.
RAICo1 is the first in a series of robotics and AI collaboration facilities and is based in Whitehaven in Cumbria.
Applicants can apply for up to £20,000 in funding for costs. They must also be willing to regularly visit the RAICo facility in Whitehaven, Cumbria, or relevant nuclear sites throughout the fellowship.
