2014), the top 50 for research excellence in its publications (RAE 2014) 
and approximately 10% above the sector average for graduate 
employability (DLHE 2014). In the most recently published subject league

country.

We are seeking to appoint up to Four (4) Lecturers/Senior Lecturers in 
Machine Learning. You will deliver modules in core computer science and 
contribute specifically to research in machine learning, both in theory 
and in practice, including related topics such as data science, 
artificial intelligence, knowledge representation & reasoning, NLP, 
multimedia analysis and applications. You will contribute to the 
University’s ambition to achieve international recognition as a 
research-intensive institution, conduct high quality research, seek 
external research income, encourage or facilitate commercial enterprise, 
supervise postgraduate research students and contribute to wider 
activities of the School.

Candidates should possess a PhD or equivalent experience, ideally in 
computer or information science and preferably with a track record in 
the delivery of study modules at undergraduate and/or postgraduate 
level. You should be able to demonstrate a commitment to maintaining the 
University’s high standards in teaching and learning. Your research 
interests will form an integral part of a new research group in Machine 
Learning at the School of Computer Science, working together with the 
newly appointed Founding Professor of Machine Learning. It is envisaged 
that the new group will focus on research into theoretical aspects, 
methodologies and practical applications of machine learning, as well as 
providing fundamental expertise in core machine learning to the School’s 
other research areas. We are seeking a good team worker who will be able 
to both align with and complement our existing research activity.

The University of Lincoln is a forward-thinking, ambitious institution 
and you will be working in the heart of a thriving, beautiful, safe and 
friendly city. The School provides a stimulating environment for 
academic research, and is located on the picturesque waterfront campus 
in the vibrant city of Lincoln. In 2017 the School will move into new,
