<div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br></span></div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"></div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">This is an exciting opportunity to join a team at the forefront of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Secondmind Labs is a team of twelve researchers and engineers that provides internal expertise for our product, and explores innovative ideas that can improve the state of the art in probabilistic models and active learning. In the past four years our team has published over 75 papers and filed 10 patents. Our main areas of expertise are probabilistic modelling and Bayesian optimization.</span><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">You will be working in highly collaborative research teams developing algorithms that are theoretically rigorous, yet scalable to domains of real-world complexity, with the aim of publishing papers at leading machine learning conferences, and integrating your research directly into our products. This means lots of variety, and involves working on both client projects and internal product development.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><b>What will you be responsible for?</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><b><br></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">As a member of Secondmind’s Bayesian optimization research team, you will be expected to develop your own research program, with a view to developing new tools and techniques. In addition to conducting novel research, you will also be expected to contribute to customer projects, assisting in the application of cutting edge machine learning research to real world problems. Finally, this position is also an opportunity to take an active role in the development of our open source libraries GPflow, GPflux and Trieste.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><b>What skills, experience, and qualifications do you need to succeed in this role?</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">You will hold a PhD in a technical field, or have an equivalent level of experience, having published work in leading machine learning, statistics or optimization conferences and/or journals.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">A strong background in Bayesian optimisation and probabilistic modelling is essential, along with experience in numerical programing (Python/NumPy/Tensorflow/PyTorch). Experience in any of the fields of variational inference, active learning or reinforcement learning are desirable but not essential.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">You will be keen to work as part of a team, to review documents and code, and to provide constructive feedback. You have a passion to continuously develop your own machine learning and research skills, and to help others to improve theirs.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">About </span><span><a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="http://Secondmind.ai"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Secondmind.ai</span></a></span></b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Secondmind exists to help automotive innovators design better cars in less time, and achieve greater sustainability through machine learning.
