Mendeley’s latest machine learning innovations joins the power of AI with Mendeley Careers and Mendeley Funding. This new product development is not only set to give your career a boost, it is also set to save you huge amounts of time as it ploughs through hundreds of thousands of job and funding opportunities to find the perfect matches for you.

Our world of ‘information overload’ has never been more of a burden for researchers as it is today. And, just like commercial industries, academia too is under pressure to deliver more results with fewer resources. Technology is often where we turn to help us get there. Both Mendeley Careers and Mendeley Funding now harness machine learning to help researchers by suggesting job positions and funding opportunities that are most relevant to their interests and expertise.

With around 120,000 open job adverts at any given time, Mendeley Careers is the world’s largest free online search engine for job opportunities in science, technology, and engineering. This platform already saves time for hundreds of thousands of researchers who now only need to visit one website to discover the latest job opportunities in their field.

The recent implementation of machine learning recommender technology has taken this service to the next level; enter Mendeley Careers Suggest. Now, job opportunities that match your profile can land in your inbox, ready for you to digest after a busy day in the lab.

Similarly, researchers are under a tremendous amount of pressure to secure funding to continue their research. Again, the time and effort involved in trawling through multiple grant funding platforms is nobody’s idea of resources well spent. Mendeley Funding was launched in 2017 to support researchers in their quest by cataloguing funding opportunities from across the globe. It boasts 22,000+ active funding opportunities from over 3,000 organizations, including the European Union, government departments in the United States like the National Institutes of Health, UK Research Councils, as well as foundations and many more.

Additionally, now that this single platform gathers together such a vast quantity of funding opportunities, Mendeley Funding also includes profile information about each funder; now you can discover new funders you may not even realize were out there waiting for you.

Since adopting the same machine learning technology as Mendeley Careers Suggest, researchers can receive email notifications that inform them of the latest funding possibilities that match their research and profile. Mendeley Funding Suggest is set to make your grant application tasks so much easier!

So now, at the end of a hard day in the lab or sitting behind your laptop crunching vital data, you can rest assured knowing that Mendeley Careers and Mendeley Funding are working hard behind the scenes to help you make the next move in your career or secure that vital funding for your research. And perhaps more importantly, because these matches are sent to you as soon as they become available, you don’t need to worry about missing out on opportunities or finding time each day to check for the latest job adverts. All of this is done for you…automatically.
