Connectionists: UK EPSRC funded (3-year) COG-MHEAR Research Fellowship (Deadline approaching: 14 Jan)

[Amir Hussain]

Dear connectionists, **Please help forward to potentially interested
candidates, many thanks in advance!**

The School of Computing at Edinburgh Napier University (ENU) in Edinburgh,
Scotland, UK, has an immediate opening for a full-time postdoctoral
research fellow. The post is funded as part of the UK Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded Programme Grant:
COG-MHEAR (https://cogmhear.org).

One of the current COG-MHEAR priority areas of interest is the innovative
design of fully-decentralized, privacy-preserving federated learning
algorithms that can also leverage the hardware and latency constraints of
multi-modal (audio-visual) hearing-assistive technologies e.g., by
specialized compression techniques for latency optimization and
self-supervised techniques to decrease the dependency on remote machines.

Details of other priority areas for the research fellow position (which is
being offered at salary grade 5: £33,309 - £39,739 per annum/pro-rata, for
up to 3 years in the first instance) can be found here:

(closing date: 14 Jan 2022)

Please get in touch if you would like further information.

Many thanks and kindest regards

Amir
