School of Computer Science & Information Technology Automated Scheduling, Optimisation & Planning (ASAP) Group
EPSRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow Modelling Variation in Automated Decision Support Applications are invited for the above post, one of two researchers to be employed on an EPSRC funded project jointly held at the Automated Scheduling, Optimisation and Planning (ASAP) Research Group at the University of Nottingham, and the Centre for Computational Intelligence (CCI) at De Montfort University. The successful candidate will work closely with the Research Fellow at De Montfort University, Leicester, on combining various aspects of fuzzy methods for modelling the variation in expert decision making to enable a new framework for consensus modelling amongst multiple experts. In particular, this post will develop new type-2 fuzzy models in which a range of expert opinions are combined into a single overall collective decision. This will lay the foundations for an entirely new form of automated decision-support utilising fuzzy ensembles, which could make a significant contribution to future developments of fuzzy expert systems that model multiple experts reaching consensus. Candidates must have a relevant PhD, together with experience in fuzzy methodologies, good programming skills and the ability to articulate research in research papers. The successful candidate will be expected to travel between Nottingham and Leicester on a regular basis, as well as present the results of their research at international conferences. Salary will be £23,457 per annum. This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of three years. Candidates should send a completed application form (available at: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/hr/vacancies/applicationform.pdf), together with a detailed CV and the names and addresses of two referees, to Ms C Fletcher, School of Computer Science and IT, The University of Nottingham, Jubilee Campus, Wollaton Road, Nottingham, NG8 1BB.
