We’re building a world where AI can be fully trusted; one that is reliable, accurate and transparent. Our neurosymbolic technology harnesses the power of LLMs and generative AI, and combines it with proprietary symbolic technology.
We’re working with companies like Lloyd’s Bank, major accountancy firms and insurers to solve problems that LLMs can’t: AI that is reliable and explainable.
At UnlikelyAI, we’re building on the frontier of research. Invention and speed are core to everything we do. The technology we develop has never existed before – and we’re looking for people excited by the difficulty of our mission.
The role
Our Research Science internship provides an exceptional opportunity to work at the forefront of AI and machine learning research. Interns collaborate with world-class researchers to tackle challenging problems and contribute to cutting-edge research that shapes the future of artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on explainability and trust.
See the link for more detail on our Internship Programme https://unlikelyai.notion.site/internship-2026.
The programme will run from
08/06/2026 to
28/08/2026, with possibility for some flexibility.
Applicants
must have the right to work in the UK at the time of application. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.
The Type Of Work You'll Do
- Conduct original research in AI/NLP, with an emphasis on explainability and trust
- Develop and implement novel algorithms and models
- Analyse experimental results and contribute to research publications
- Collaborate with research scientists and engineers across the organisation
- Present your findings to the research team and broader company
What We're Looking For
- Strong background in machine learning, LLMs, NLP, or related fields
- Experience with research methodologies and experimental design
- Proficiency in Python
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Enthusiasm for learning new technologies and approaches
Why Join Us?
Team - We have a world-class team of intelligent, focused, collaborative people. We're ambitious, move fast and have a lot of fun while doing it.
Vision - We have a huge vision for the future. This offers a unique opportunity to work on the foundational layers of AI but, unlike many other companies, we're not just scaling LLMs, we're focused on a novel neurosymbolic approach.
Tech - You'll work with our novel and cutting-edge tech. Driving this forward involves solving some exciting challenges, so our team has the freedom to be creative and explore innovative ideas in an environment where our technology is evolving and maturing.
Location
We are a hybrid working company, with three days in-office as our general expectation. Our Bloomsbury office is equidistant between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn stations.
Equal Opportunities
We are committed to having a truly diverse team where everyone is encouraged to be their authentic selves.
