*Duties and Responsibilities * The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit invites applications for a training fellowship in machine learning and related areas. The Unit is especially keen to recruit researchers with expertise in probabilistic and Bayesian modelling, time series modelling, reinforcement learning and control. The Unit is a world-class centre for theoretical neuroscience and machine learning. The Unit has significant interests across a range of areas in machine learning, including unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, Bayesian modeling, statistical theory, nonparametric methods, kernel methods, optimization, and applications to neuroscience, linguistics, vision and bioinformatics. Machine learning research at the Gatsby Unit is led by Yee Whye Teh and Arthur Gretton. For further details of our research please see: http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/research The Unit provides a unique environment in which a critical mass of researchers interact closely with each other and with other world-class research groups in related departments at UCL. A cross-faculty Centre for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning opened at UCL in 2006, currently directed by Mark Girolami and spanning the departments of Computer Science, Statistical Science and the Gatsby Unit. The Unit's visitor and seminar programmes enable staff and students to engage with leading researchers from across the world. Training fellowships that are funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation are part of a continuing program of training postdoctoral researchers in the discipline. The position is available for an initial period of between one and two years. Due to the joint funding arrangement of this training fellowship, the post may be funded up to a maximum of four years subject to the requirements of the project. *Key Requirements * Candidates must have a PhD in a relevant subject area by the agreed start date of the position, and possess strong analytical and computational background with demonstrable interest and expertise in machine learning.
