Connectionists: Machine Learning faculty openings: University of Edinburgh, UK

[Chris Williams]

Applications are invited for a Lecturer to join the Machine Learning
group in the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation, part of
the School of Informatics, at The University of Edinburgh. For an
exceptional candidate, appointment to the position of Reader will be
considered. [A Lectureship is roughly equivalent to a US Assistant
Professor, and a Readership to an Associate Professor.]

The Machine Learning group carries out research on principled models,
algorithms and applications of machine learning. The School of
Informatics plays a leading role in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral
Training in Data Science, with opportunities for the appointee to
supervise PhD students from the Centre (and from other sources). The
University of Edinburgh is also one of the five joint venture partner
universities in the UK's Alan Turing Institute for Data Science; this
gives rise to opportunities to interact with PhD students, research
fellows and senior researchers within the Turing Institute. In
addition, there are many opportunities to interact with other parts of
the University and beyond in order to further the candidate's research
agenda. The latest REF 2014 results confirmed that the School of
Informatics has the largest concentration of internationally excellent
research in the UK.

The successful candidate will have a PhD, experience as an established
researcher in Machine Learning, enthusiasm to undertake original
research including leading a research group, and the ability to engage
with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and academic supervision.

Lecturer grade: UE08 £38,896 - £46,414 per annum.  Reader grade: UE09
£49,230 - £55,389 per annum.  Closing date: Friday 15th January 2016
at 5pm (GMT) Interviews will be held in Edinburgh in March 2016.
