Advert: Professorship in AI, Bristol University

[ICG Campbell, Engineering Mathematics]

Advertisement for position:
Professor of Artificial Intelligence,
Department of Engineering Mathematics,
University of Bristol,
United Kingdom

We seek to appoint a research leader in Artificial Intelligence to
complement the strengths and further enhance the international reputation 
of the existing AI Group in fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainty, 
kernel-based methods and the mathematical treatment of learning in 
intelligent systems. An established track record in any aspect of AI and 
its applications is
required, such as intelligent data analysis, uncertainty modelling,
graphical methods, machine learning, emergent behaviour or robotics. A
willingness to actively collaborate and engage in interdisciplinary
research is also essential.

The Department of Engineering Mathematics is unique in being the only
research-intensive mathematics department in the UK within an
engineering faculty. Its remit is therefore to pursue innovation
in mathematics relevant to engineering (inclusive of computer science)
and other application areas. Its research received a 5*A rating in the
2001 Research Assessment Exercise. It is anticipated the appointee
will use the existing base and further appointments to build a
group with an international reputation.
