Apologies if you receive this message multiple times. I am keen to encourage people from the machine learning/probabilistic modelling fields who work on life sciences problems to apply. I shall be attending the ICML/UAI conferences at Stanford and will be happy to discuss this further with interested parties.

This is aimed not only at extending the applications of Informatics to biological problems but also at stimulating fundamental research in Informatics. The Division has inherited a very strong tradition of research in computer systems, theoretical computer science, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, robotics and neural networks. The successful candidate will add to our existing strengths in research and teaching, encourage the integration of his or her own research with that of others and contribute to the development of Informatics. The successful candidate can anticipate profitable involvement with local researchers in Biology, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, including the new Edinburgh Genomic Microarray Facility (http://www.gmf-microarray.ed.ac.uk/). It is anticipated that the successful candidate will take a leadership role in the rapidly expanding bioinformatics enterprise at the University. The appointment will be at the Lecturer (17,238 pounds - 30,065 pounds), or Senior Lecturer or Readership (31,356 pounds - 35,670 pounds) scale. (Salary scales under review.)
