Quantitative Researcher for UK Technical Talent Study

Hi, The UK debates why it loses frontier companies, but no systematic data exists on the people those companies are built from. We are building it: an open dataset mapping where 500 to 800 of the UK’s standout technical people from the past decade ended up, designed to inform UK government policy. Full brief attached.
