Dear all,

We are pleased to announce an open professor position at the University of
Surrey:


https://jobs.surrey.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?id=14997

Closing Date:   Tuesday 30 September 2025

The School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at the University
of Surrey is seeking to recruit a Professor in Machine Learning and AI with
a focus on Large Machine Learning Models to expand our dynamic team of
internationally recognised AI faculty and researchers. This is part of a
strategic investment of 6 posts across the School in AI, Cyber Security and
Satellite Communications.

In conjunction with the postholder, the School will also appoint a Lecturer
to support their research direction and strategy.

The School is home to two established research centres with expertise in AI
and Machine Learning: the Computer Science Research Centre (CSRC) and the
Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP). This post is
aligned to the Nature Inspired Computer and Engineering group within
Computer Science.

Surrey has an established international reputation in AI research, 1st in
the UK for computer vision and top 5 for AI, computer vision, machine
learning, robotics and natural language processing (CSRankings.org) and
were 7th in the UK for REF2021 outputs in Computer Science research.
Computer Science and CVSSP are at the core of the Surrey Institute for
People-Centred AI (PAI), established in 2021 as a pan-University initiative
which brings together leading AI research with discipline expertise across
health, social, behavioural and engineering sciences, business, law and the
creative arts to shape future AI for the benefit of people and society. PAI
leads a portfolio of over £100m in grant awards including major research
activities in creative industries and healthcare, and two doctoral training
programmes with funding for over 100 PhD researchers: the UKRI AI Centre
for Doctoral Training in AI for Digital Media Inclusion and the Leverhulme
Trust Doctoral Training Network in AI-Enabled Digital Accessibility.

The candidate should have wide knowledge of the AI field and ideally
experience of working with industry. The candidate must have a proven
record of internationally recognised research contributions and leading
significant research programmes in AI and Machine Learning. Current
research in AI within the School focuses on solving foundational and
real-world problems in areas such as Natural Language Processing,
Optimisation, Audio and Vision, AI for Health and Medical Applications,
Robotics, and Security.

Informal inquiries can be directed to the Director of the Computer Science
Research Centre, Professor Steve Schneider at *s.schneider at surrey.ac.uk*
<s.schneider at surrey.ac.uk>.

The full advert, and application portal, is available at the link above.

Our staff and students come from all over the world and we are proud of our
friendly and inclusive culture. The University and the Department
specifically are committed to building a culturally diverse organisation.
Applications are strongly encouraged from female and minority candidates.

Best wishes,

Roman
