Job Description
Research Scientist at the
Ocean Science and Solutions Applied Research Institute
The NEOM
project is being built from the ground up as a living laboratory
incorporating sustainable cities, sustainable industries, communities,
and high quality of living throughout, with technology-based companies
and services in energy, water, health and well-being, education,
transport, sport, entertainment, and other fields. Tourism will be a
major economic driver or NEOM and will be an important sector in
developing the potential of this new world destination. As an
innovation focused location for new industries, NEOM will also rely
heavily on the strength of its key education, research, and innovation
ecosystem.
The NEOM Education, Research, and Innovation (ERI)
sector encompasses 4 Pillars: EC-12 Schools, Talent Academy
(vocational and lifelong training and learning), Higher Education
(NEOM U in the first instance), and the ERI Foundation and will act as
a primary driver of education, knowledge creation, technology
development and deployment, and talent attraction and development for
the NEOM region, working in close partnership with the key employment
sectors and the NEOM regions and Authority.
The ERI Foundation
(ERIF) is supporting NEOM to build a world-class R&I ecosystem via
several actions. Its flagship Applied Research Institutes (ARIs)
bridge the gap between higher education and industry and society and
work in both directions to translate concepts into at-scale-testable
technologies and to identify longer-term challenges that require
detailed research investigation. The ERIF is also establishing Shared
Research Infrastructures (SRIs) that will be accessible to the ARIs,
Higher Education Institutions, Talent Academy and researchers and
innovators in companies (including start-ups) and the community. ERIF
will further act as a funding agency for competitive grants to Higher
Education and early-stage start-ups. It will additionally implement
fellowship programs at both senior and postdoctoral levels through its
Academy of International Fellows and will work to establish a strong
research and innovation culture, including through research governance
and oversight activities.
Three Applied Research Institutes
have been approved to date: the Ocean Science and Solutions ARI
(OSSARI), the Hydrogen and e-Fuels ARI (HEFARI), and the Future of
Urban Livability ARI (FULARI).

a Research Scientist in the field of bioinformatics and machine
learning. Research scientists are responsible for conducting
