Shell.ai Residency Programme

As an AI Resident you will have the opportunity to spend a substantial part of your time on personal development. Together with your line manager and mentor you prepare an individual development plan for meeting your development needs. You develop yourself through face-to-face courses organised by Shell, online courses by leading AI educational organizations, on-the-job learning, self-study and reading, coaching and mentoring with our data scientist and engineers.

Where the Shell Graduate Program is a broader development programma, which targets recent graduates to be developed broadly to become future leaders in Shell, The Shell.AI Residency Programme is focused on people with experience and passion for data science and engineering and helps them to deepen their expertise in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

The Residency Programme is hosted in London, Houston, Boston, San Francisco, Amsterdam or Bangalore . Depending on individual project requirements and locations, domestic and/or international travel to other Shell locations may be required.

The programme is run by Shell’s Digital Center of Excellence, which is part of the Projects and Technology business. Many AI Residents are based in the Shell Technology Centers, which are amongst the biggest R&D facilities in the world.
