Deadline: 25 August 2021, 4pm UTC

Applications are invited for an academic position in machine learning in 
the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, as part of a 
continuing expansion in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. A 
lectureship is a full-time academic position roughly equivalent to an 
assistant professorship in other countries; a reader is roughly 
equivalent to associate professor.

We seek candidates with research interests in the development of 
cutting-edge machine learning methods. Candidates will have a research 
interests in principled approaches to machine learning, novel 
developments in deep learning, machine learning for new or important 
tasks, and/or the development of novel methods of wide applicability and 
with state-of-the-art capability.

The University of Edinburgh has one of the largest academic machine 
learning research groups in Europe. We also benefit from close links to 
groups in Maths and Statistics, and other active areas of artificial 
intelligence in the School, including natural language processing, 
speech processing, robotics, and computer vision.

The School of Informatics is host to the UKRI/EPSRC Centres for Doctoral 
Training in Biomedical Artificial Intelligence, in Natural Language 
Processing, and in Robotics and Autonomous Systems. The adjacent Thomas 
Bayes Centre for Data Technology is the home for data-driven applied and 
translational research at Edinburgh. The University is one of the five 
founding partner universities in the UK's Alan Turing Institute for Data 
Science, providing opportunities to interact with Turing PhD students, 
research fellows and senior researchers. In addition, the University has 
just established one of the first ELLIS units, which are recognized 
centres of excellence in AI research across Europe. In addition, there 
are many opportunities to engage with other parts of the University and 
beyond in order to further the candidate's research agenda.

The successful candidate(s) will have a PhD; experience as an 
established researcher in the theory and application of machine learning 
methods; enthusiasm to undertake original research including leading a 
research group; ability to engage with undergraduate and postgraduate 
teaching and academic supervision.
