Faculty position at University of Edinburgh, UK

[Chris Williams]

Apologies if you receive this message multiple times.

I am keen to encourage people from the machine learning/probabilistic
modelling fields who work on life sciences problems to apply.
I shall be attending the ICML/UAI conferences at Stanford
and will be happy to discuss this further with interested parties.

The Division of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh
(http://www.informatics.ed.ac.uk) is seeking to make an appointment in
the area of Informatics and its applications to the Life Sciences. This

systems, theoretical computer science, cognitive science, artificial
intelligence, robotics and neural networks. The successful candidate will
add to our existing strengths in research and teaching, encourage the
integration of his or her own research with that of others and contribute
to the development of Informatics. The successful candidate can anticipate
profitable involvement with local researchers in Biology, Medicine and
Veterinary Medicine, including the new Edinburgh Genomic Microarray
Facility (http://www.gmf-microarray.ed.ac.uk/). It is anticipated that the
successful candidate will take a leadership role in the rapidly expanding
bioinformatics enterprise at the University.

The appointment will be at the Lecturer (17,238 pounds - 30,065 pounds),
or Senior Lecturer or Readership (31,356 pounds - 35,670 pounds) scale.
(Salary scales under review.)
