The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at UCL is looking to recruit one or more faculty at senior and/or junior levels in machine learning, statistics or control theory. We are especially interested in candidates whose work in these fields integrates well with the Unit's focus on inference and learning in the brain, and with the wider research environment at UCL. The Computer Science Department at UCL is in conjunction recruiting for a senior faculty position to act as a Director for a proposed UCL Centre for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning, reflecting the substantial cross-campus links in this area.
The Gatsby Unit was set up at UCL in 1998 as a research institute devoted to computational neuroscience and machine learning. We have core funding for five faculty, eight postdocs and around twelve PhD students. PIs can raise additional funds through grants. We have no undergraduate programme, so only teaching and supervision of graduate-level Gatsby students is required. We have close ties with the Departments of Anatomy, Computer Science, Psychology, Physiology and Statistics at UCL and with groups in Engineering and Physics (David MacKay) at Cambridge and beyond. We are located in a leafy haven in Queen Square, London. Applications, consisting of a CV, a statement of research interests and accomplishments and full contact details for three academic referees should be sent to Alexandra Boss by email: alexandra 'at' gatsby.ucl.ac.uk, or post: Gatsby Unit, UCL, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, UK. Applicants are asked to provide standardised monitoring information by completing and returning the forms available at: www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/vacancies/Applications_by_CV.pdf Applications must arrive no later than 5th January 2006. Unless otherwise requested applicants will also be considered by the Computer Science Department. Appointment at a senior level is subject to the normal senior appointments process at UCL.
