Applications are invited for a Lecturer to join the Machine Learning group in the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation, part of the School of Informatics, at The University of Edinburgh. For an exceptional candidate, appointment to the position of Reader will be considered. [A Lectureship is roughly equivalent to a US Assistant Professor, and a Readership to an Associate Professor.]
The Machine Learning group carries out research on principled models, algorithms and applications of machine learning. The School of Informatics plays a leading role in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Data Science, with opportunities for the appointee to supervise PhD students from the Centre (and from other sources). The University of Edinburgh is also one of the five joint venture partner universities in the UK's Alan Turing Institute for Data Science; this gives rise to opportunities to interact with PhD students, research fellows and senior researchers within the Turing Institute. In addition, there are many opportunities to interact with other parts of the University and beyond in order to further the candidate's research agenda. The latest REF 2014 results confirmed that the School of Informatics has the largest concentration of internationally excellent research in the UK. The successful candidate will have a PhD, experience as an established researcher in Machine Learning, enthusiasm to undertake original research including leading a research group, and the ability to engage with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and academic supervision. Lecturer grade: UE08 £38,896 - £46,414 per annum. Reader grade: UE09 £49,230 - £55,389 per annum.
