Connectionists: Machine Learning Researcher Wanted (all levels)

[Wray Buntine]

Junior and Senior Machine Learning Researchers

The Statistical Machine Learning Research Group, based in Canberra, is a
team of junior and senior researchers, software engineers and PhD
students who pursue fundamental research in principled methods for data
analysis and its applications to a variety of fields, including document
and text analysis, computer vision and pattern recognition. We work at
the intersection of theory, methods and applications. As such, our staff
and students are encouraged to collaborate broadly and we are committed
to using machine learning to address diverse areas.

We are looking for applicants at the senior level and the junior level
who have a strong track record of basic research and research leadership
in one or more of the following areas:
• Document Analysis,
• Computer Vision
• Graphical Models
• Kernel Methods
• Learning Theory

The successful applicants will have an excellent publication record and
experience with supervising students. The group is particularly
interested in candidates with both a strong methodological background
and experience in practical domains or commercialisation. A record of
industry or government collaboration is also desirable.

The appointees will be eligible for an adjunct position at the College
of Engineering and Computer Science, Australian National University.
Consequently, appointees will have the opportunity to teach at the
postgraduate level and supervise PhD students.

Interested applicants should look at the following websites for more
information:

• About NICTA: http://nicta.com.au/about
Please direct enquires to the Project Leader Prof. Wray Buntine,
wray.buntine at nicta.com.au. Applications will be assessed during 2008 and
a selection made when a meritorious candidate has been identified.
