Connectionists: Machine Learning faculty position (open rank) at the Gatsby Unit, UCL

[Maneesh Sahani]

The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College
London invites applications for an academic position in machine
learning or statistics at the rank of Lecturer, Reader/Associate
Professor, or Professor. We especially seek candidates whose work
addresses fundamental probabilistic or statistical machine learning.
The appointment will be made at a rank appropriate to the experience
and international standing of the successful candidate.

Established in 1998 through a generous grant from the Gatsby
Charitable Foundation, the Gatsby Unit has been a pioneering centre
for both machine learning and theoretical neuroscience. We have core
funding to support six positions, associated postdocs and PhD
students, and computational resources. Faculty may raise additional
funds through grants from national and international funding bodies
and charities. We have no undergraduate programme, so only
graduate-level teaching and supervision is required.

The Unit is located in London's vibrant West End, sharing a new
purpose-built home with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural
Circuits and Behaviour, near the Gower street campus. We are close to
cognate groups in the departments of Computer Science and Statistical
Science, as well as the Alan Turing Institute.

The Unit offers internationally competitive salaries.

We particularly welcome female applicants and those from an ethnic
minority, as they are under-represented within UCL at this level.

For informal enquiries, please contact Maneesh Sahani
(maneesh at gatsby.ucl.ac.uk). All applications received before 30
November 2018 will be reviewed together. If the position remains
unfilled following this review, further rounds of application will be
considered.
