About the role
The Tesco Data Science team are offering 12-week paid internships for PhD students within the team. The start date for each internship is flexible but must be between June and August 2026.
At Tesco, our Data Science team focus on modelling complex business problems and deploying data products at scale. A key part of this is using Operational Research techniques to optimise automated processes and to support decision making. Our work spans across multiple areas including physical stores, online, supply chain, and last mile delivery. This requires our Data Scientists to have an advanced understanding of advanced exact, heuristic, or metaheuristic algorithms and statistics. The team itself is made up of researchers and practitioners with varied backgrounds from both academia and the business world.
As an intern, you will join the team and get hands on experience of what it’s like to be a Data Scientist at Tesco. You’ll work with the team on helping us solve an exciting real-life problem. In addition to the technical mentorship and training provided by the team we will also provide a personal mentor to help you get the most out of the internship.
If that sounds exciting, then we’d love to hear from you!
The position will be based in either our London (Farringdon) office or our Welwyn Garden City campus.

You will be responsible for
This is a hands-on position where you will need to use an analytical approach to find solutions to complex problems. As a PhD Intern you will work within the Data Science team, to understand difficult business problems and prototype solutions. A core component of the role is to translate business problems to operations research problems and then solve them. Our interns will need to be able to validate, document and present the modelling process and performances, as well as communicate complex solutions in a clear, understandable way to non-experts.
You will need
We are looking for ambitious PhD students (in their final or penultimate year) or Postdoctoral Researchers with a strong numerical background and a strong desire to pursue a career in data science.
An ideal candidate will have a scientific mentality with the ability to ask the right questions, as well as answer them. Experience in one or more of the following fields would be ideal:
• Mathematical Programming (including Mixed Integer Linear Programming)
• Metaheuristics
• Stochastic Optimisation
• Simulation
Finally, good programming skills are essential (either Python or Java is preferred) and ideally some familiarity with SWE best practices (such as version control and unit testing).

Shape the Future of AI Innovation
Move beyond delivery work into structured R&D where your technical insights directly influence strategic technology decisions. You’ll explore cutting-edge AI and automation technologies, build evidence-based recommendations, and help define our innovation roadmap.
About the Role
We’re building a disciplined R&D capability to explore emerging technologies, validate new approaches, and feed high-quality innovation into our Product and Engineering teams.
As our AI Research Engineer / Analyst (R&D), you’ll generate the technical evidence that supports strategic decisions. You’ll research AI and automation technologies, evaluate vendors and tools, build timeboxed proofs of concept in Python and/or C# (accomplished coding skills required, but this is not a “developer” role), and produce clear, decision-ready outputs.
This is not a BAU delivery role. It’s structured, evidence-led innovation.
You’ll report functionally to the Head of R&D, with day-to-day coaching from the Senior R&D Engineer.
Salary: £45K - £50K Basic + Bonus + Benefits (25 days holiday, 7% matched pension scheme, private health plan, flexible holiday purchase, remote or hybrid working & much more!)
Location: Remote or North East. Hybrid office work / flexible / remote. Durham, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, etc. Although, we are very flexible to this, so more remote fine. As far down as Leeds or the other way & up toward Edinburgh!
What You’ll DoResearch & Evaluation
Hands-On Prototyping
Focus: validation and insight - not production-grade implementation.
Documentation & Process
What You’ll Bring
Essential
Desirable
What Success Looks Like
Within your first 90 days, you will have:
Longer term, success is measured by the clarity, quality, and adoption of your R&D outputs.
Why Join
We’re looking for curiosity and rigour in equal measure - someone excited by emerging AI, but disciplined enough to separate signal from noise.
Ready to shape our AI innovation strategy? Apply now and help us turn emerging technology into competitive advantage.
