How and when to use artificial intelligence in your science job application
Nature, Published online: 10 August 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02435-2 A webinar offers advice to hiring managers and jobseekers.
Nature’s Careers team recently released a free webinar on utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) in science job applications. The one-hour recording, held in June, explores the increasing role of AI in science recruitment and provides guidance for job seekers on how to responsibly and effectively leverage AI tools in crafting CVs, cover letters, and interview questions.
The panel discussion features Julie Gould, Richard Stevenson from recruitment consultancy Barrington James, Fernando Spilki, a veterinary virologist, and Hilke Schellmann, a journalism scholar who authored the book "The Algorithm: How AI Decides Who Gets Hired, Monitored, Promoted, and Fired, And Why We Need To Fight Back". Schellmann's book, based on exclusive sources, exposes biased and harmful AI-driven decisions.
