Funded by the Leverhulme Trust, CFI is based at the University of Cambridge, with partners in the University of Oxford, Imperial College, and UC Berkeley, and close links with industry partners and policy-makers. The successful candidate will also be affiliated to Cambridge's Department of History and Philosophy of Science.
