******** Postdoctoral Position in Machine Learning ********* School of Computing, University of Dundee, Scotland
The School of Computing at the University of Dundee seeks applicants for a research position on machine learning for assistive robotics. The goal of the project is to build a device for stroke rehabilitation that adapts to a user over time. The successful candidate will work on algorithms in reinforcement learning, including, but not limited to, decision theoretic models (MDPs and POMDPs). Experience in machine learning or reinforcement learning are necessary for the position. Experience in robotics, computer vision and human-computer interaction will be considered assets. The work will take place in the context of the DyNaMo consortium project, funded by EU and Mexican government agencies, that involves eight universities and two corporations in Mexico, Spain, Canada, France, the Netherlands, and the UK. The project's main goals are the investigation of probabilistic graphical models and their applications, and involves work in theoretical and practical directions. The successful candidate will be based at the School of Computing at the University of Dundee in Scotland, and will join the Computational Systems group there, a large and dynamic group of researchers in machine learning, multi-agent systems, and computer vision. The candidate will collaborate with the project partners at the Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica, Mexico, and the University of Toronto, Canada. This fixed-term post is available immediately for a period of 12 months, with a potential for a further 6 months conditional on funding. Informal inquiries should be made to Dr. Jesse Hoey (jesseh...@computing.dundee.ac.uk). Full details on how to apply can be found at www.jobs.dundee.ac.uk, reference AAE/3054. The University of Dundee is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. -- Jesse Hoey School of Computing, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland, DD14HN +44 (0) 1382 384154 ----- The University of Dundee is a registered Scottish charity, No: SC015096 _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
