<div>Academic post<font color="#222222"> available at Lecturer or Senior Lecturer/Reader (equivalent to Assistant or Associate Professor), subject to eligibility. The salary will be on the Research and Teaching Grade, level 7, 8 or 9: £35,210 - £39,610 / £43,266
- £50,132 / £51,630 - £58,089 per annum. <br>
</font></div>
<div>Applications for the post are welcome in any research areas of Information, Data and Analysis (IDA) Section of the school, including Machine Learning, Data Systems, Computational Interaction, Vision & sensor-based systems and Information Retrieval. The
School has recently invested in a Media & Data Science research theme, recruiting experts in information retrieval and computational political/media science. The school now aims to further strengthen Media & Data Science theme by recruiting a post-holder that
can complement the existing strengths within the School, and can develop, lead and sustain research of international standard in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Data Systems/Information Retrieval; contribute to teaching, assessment, project supervision
and curriculum design at undergraduate and postgraduate levels; and participate in School management and organisation.<br>
</div>
<div>The School has existing strengths in machine learning and information retrieval applied in contexts such as Music Information Retrieval, Politics and Social media, Conversational interaction and Search. As part of our plans to expand our research and teaching
activities in this area and collaborate more closely with our neighbours at BBC Scotland, the Section aims to recruit three academic posts in the topics of Machine Learning, Data Systems, Computational Interaction and Information Retrieval that have the potential
to expand our existing strengths in media and data science, including but not limited to topics such as:</div>
<div> </div>
<ul style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<li>core machine learning technologies (e.g. graph convolutional networks, architectures for multimedia (video or audio) content)</li><li>conversational interaction and search</li><li>explainability/interpretability/ethics/fairness in artificial intelligence, machine learning, algorithmic bias, especially applied in a media and search context</li><li>data science for communications media</li><li>data science for politics and social media</li><li>social media analytics</li><li>algorithmic content generation</li><li>personalisation including (context-aware) recommendation systems/interaction</li><li>large-scale data system engineering</li></ul>
