job openings at NCRG

[D LOWE]

NCRG, Aston University, UK

Lecturer in Information Engineering

Over the next few months we will be looking to appoint 2 new lecturers and 
several postdoctoral research fellows to contribute to several funded 
international collaborative projects that the Group is involved in, in the 
broad areas of machine learning and system complexity issues that might be of 
interest to readers of this group. 

In the first instance, we are currently seeking to appoint an enthusiastic 
research-led individual as a full time lecturer to the Information 
Engineering Group within the School of Engineering and Applied Science who is 
also capable of contributing quality teaching to our undergraduate and 
graduate taught programmes which cover the mathematics provision of the 
School. 

The research areas of the Group are diverse, covering both theoretical and 
practical aspects of information analysis, with emphasis on the study of 
complex systems. Current interests include biomedical signal and pattern 
processing, bioinformatics, inference and graphical models, theory and 
algorithms of novel neural network structures,  nonlinear dynamical 
modelling,  data fusion, and the relationships between statistical physics 
and a variety of problems in information analysis, complexity and 
communications (specifically error correcting codes, steganography, 
cryptography and communication in distributed systems). Much of this work is 
in collaboration with other groups overseas and we are keen to extend this 
international scientific interaction. We are seeking someone who feels they 
can fit into the ethos of our Group and can contribute to these or related 
areas.
