POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION, IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON
Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering,
Intelligent Systems and Networks Group

Salary: 22,870 - 26,830 UK Pounds per annum dependent on experience
Fixed term appointment for two and a half years, commencing 1 October 2006

A Research Assistant/Associate Position is available, with a start date of
1st of October 2006 for 30 months, in the area of machine learning for
decision support in controlling multi-agent systems, under the supervision
of Dr Yiannis Demiris.

The post requires that you have or are about to complete a PhD in an area
with strong mathematical and computational content. Excellent programming
skills are essential, while knowledge of machine learning algorithms,
particularly involving graphical models, will be very advantageous.  You
will be working in close collaboration with an industrial partner to develop
trainable intelligent mobile decision support systems, where experience of
previous actions (inverse models) and tailored agent profiles (forward
models) interact to support the decision making process.  You will be
developing and testing these ideas in simulators involving multiple agents
(for example, multiple robots, or vehicles) with real word dynamics.

How to apply:

To apply, please send your completed application form (downloadable from
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/employment/applicationformacademic
or obtainable from Ms Shahareen Hilmy), CV and a cover letter explaining
your current interests and relevant background for this project to Ms
Shahareen Hilmy, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering,
Imperial College London, South Kensington campus, London SW7 2AZ, UK.  We
encourage application by e-mail, to s.hilmy at imperial.ac.uk, with a copy to
y.demiris at imperial.ac.uk, to who informal enquiries about the position can
also be addressed.  Your CV should indicate two persons who can provide a
reference.

CLOSING DATE: 28 July 2006
