Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) |

ARIA is a new kind of R&D funding agency. We fund scientists and engineers to pursue research at the edge of the possible. From climate change to AI, society faces enormous challenges and opportunities that can be uniquely addressed by science and technology. ARIA was created to activate the UK’s world-class R&D in new ways, so we can meet these head on. We are growing our team to develop bold new approaches that can scale – from programmes to systems, processes and everything in between.

We are a lean, agile team of optimists, working to unlock scientific and technological breakthroughs that can benefit everyone. It’s a big mission, and getting there won’t be easy. That’s why we are built to do things differently.

For starters, independence is built into our core. From research to operations, our teams have the flexibility and freedom necessary to build a new kind of R&D agency from the ground up.

We're also built to think differently. We’ve joined ARIA from start-ups, non-profits, VCs, and the public sector, so we all bring different perspectives and we celebrate new ideas. Beyond our core team, our board and wider network includes those who have pushed the limits of the possible across disciplines and sectors.

We put people at the centre of everything we do and are looking for the broadest array of talent to advance our vision. Whether you’re new to this space, looking to return to work after a break, or taking the next step in your career, we want you on our radar. If you get excited by new possibilities and want to leave your mark on the world, check out our open jobs.
