Now is the time to join the University of Manchester when it is significantly boosting its activities in Machine Learning.
Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (Assoc/Asst Prof) in Machine Learning The University of Manchester is making a strategic investment in fundamentals of AI, to complement its existing strengths in AI applications across several prominent research fields in the University, which give high-profile application and collaboration opportunities for the outcomes of fundamental AI research. The university is one of the most active partners of the national Alan Turing Institute, hosts 27 Turing Fellows and Fellows of the European Laboratory of Learning and Intelligent Systems ELLIS, in the new ELLIS Unit Manchester<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fellis.eu%2Funits%2Fmanchester&data=05%7C01%7Cuai%40engr.orst.edu%7Cf5d02a2f5009446fce8e08db83bcd6df%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638248619308592010%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Pqnb%2B%2B0oFm%2BcFYw3qf2DxDeR9siVdmLfNFnGMuKI4pI%3D&reserved=0>. The university’s ambition is to establish a leading AI centre at the cross section of these opportunities. The university has recently launched a Centre for AI Fundamentals<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmanchester.ac.uk%2Fai-fun&data=05%7C01%7Cuai%40engr.orst.edu%7Cf5d02a2f5009446fce8e08db83bcd6df%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638248619308592010%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=17gSSEmSx8HUNhsukUokk%2FzvbRujv0i%2By95tH0UPgIs%3D&reserved=0> and has already recruited four new academics to it. This lectureship continues this series of positions in establishing the new Centre. Applications are welcome in any area of the fundamentals of machine learning, in particular probabilistic modelling, deep learning, reinforcement learning, causal modelling, human-in-the-loop ML, explainable AI, ethics, privacy and security. This position is meant to contribute to machine learning methodologies and not purely to their applications, but note that applications of ML are highly valued within the University. You are expected to be interested in building your career by contributing to the new centre and exploring collaboration opportunities in both methods and applications in the university, in addition to building international networks. You will be located in the Department of Computer Science and, in addition to the new centre for Fundamental AI research, you will belong to a large community of machine learning, data science and AI researchers. The university takes pride in its ability to collaborate seamlessly across its departments, schools and faculties. Some of the most useful links include the Alan Turing Institute, ELLIS, the Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and the new Christabel Pankhurst Institute for Health Technology.

The recently established Centre for AI Fundamentals is a cross-Faculty initiative that builds on the award of a Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship together with significant internal investment, and forms part of an ambitious plan to establish Manchester as an internationally-leading centre for AI research and innovation. The successful candidate will play a major role in developing and shaping the Centre, working closely with its Director to grow the Centre and plan and deliver an exciting programme of activities, including leading key science translational activity and development of use cases in the Centre’s key domains, partnership development, bid writing, resource management, impact and public engagement strategies. The role will involve working synergistically with existing University functions and activities to maximise benefits to the University, including working closely with the Business Engagement and Knowledge Exchange functions on activities involving industry.
