Postdoctoral Research Associate in Machine Learning
http://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk
We are seeking a highly creative and motivated postdoctoral Research
Associate to join the Machine Learning Group (http://
mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk) in the Department of Engineering, University of
Cambridge, UK, working with Professor Zoubin Ghahramani. The research
area for this position is Bayesian Machine Learning and the position
is funded through an EPSRC project on Advanced Bayesian Computation
for Cross-Disciplinary Research. The aim of this project is to develop
novel algorithms for probabilistic modelling applicable across a range
of physical, biological and social sciences. The project is a
collaboration between Cambridge (Engineering), Warwick (Systems
Biology), Sussex (Astronomy), and Kent (Statistics). The position will
be for two years, starting September 1, 2011 or soon afterwards, with
possible extension for a further year.
The successful applicant will have or be near completing a PhD in
computer science, engineering, statistics or a related area, and will
have extensive research experience and a strong publication record in
statistics, probability, or machine learning. Preference will be given
to applicants with some experience in large-scale modelling with
Bayesian methods, non-parametric Bayesian models, and approximate
inference.
Applications must be sent by email to Diane Unwin, ds...@cam.ac.uk,
and must include a brief letter of application, a CV including a list
of publications in pdf format, and names and email addresses of 2-3
referees. The cover sheet for applications, PD18 is available from http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/personnel/forms/pd18/
