Research Fellowship at NCR Knowledge Lab

[Nakisa, Ramin]

Reminder: Closing date is in five days.

NCR's Knowledge Lab conducts leading-edge research in the areas of data
mining, consumer behaviour, emerging technologies and electronic commerce.
Research is carried out in close collaboration with a group of banking and
academic research partners. Our research interests are wide-ranging and
interdisciplinary within the financial services industry. In the area of
data mining the Knowledge Lab is investigating the potential of Bayesian
statistics applied to very large data sets.

The Knowledge Lab invites applicants for a Knowledge Lab Research
Fellowship. The fellowship will be awarded to conduct innovative research
in developing and applying new machine learning methods to banking
problems. Candidates will have a Ph.D. in a numerate discipline and sound
knowledge of the theory and computational practice of analysing large data
sets. The ability to code fluently in C/C++ is a prerequisite. Fellows are
expected to carry out research of an exceptionally high standard and to
publish in leading international journals.

The fellowship will be for an initial period of one year with the
possibility of a permanent position. The fellow will be based in the
Knowledge Lab in central London. Salaries will be above the post-doctoral
level (which ranges from £21,293 to £28,919).

The fellowship offers a unique opportunity to both conduct leading-edge
research and to also gain experience of the application of research with a
world-leading technology company. NCR is the world's leading provider of
electronic banking solutions and massively parallel computing for data
warehousing.
