Job description

2 Senior Lecturer / Lecturer (Asst Prof) and other positions in Machine Learning in Manchester, UK

Apr 25, 2022

Manchester Centre for AI Fundamentals has positions open at all levels: Senior Lecturer, Lecturer, Research Fellow, Postdoc, and PhD (funded).

Now is the time to join the University of Manchester as it significantly boosts its activities in Machine Learning.

The University of Manchester is making a strategic investment in the fundamentals of AI, complementing its existing strengths in AI applications across several prominent research fields. This provides high-profile opportunities for collaboration and application of fundamental AI research. The university is a key partner of the national Alan Turing Institute, hosting 33 Turing Fellows and Fellows of the European Laboratory of Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS), in the new ELLIS Unit Manchester. The ambition is to establish a leading AI centre at the intersection of these opportunities. Recently, the university launched a Centre for AI Fundamentals and has recruited four new academics to it. These positions are part of the ongoing effort to establish this new Centre.

Applications are welcome in any area of the fundamentals of machine learning, including probabilistic modelling, deep learning, reinforcement learning, causal modelling, human-in-the-loop ML, explainable AI, ethics, privacy, and security. These roles focus on advancing machine learning methodologies, though applications of ML are highly valued. Candidates are expected to contribute to the new centre, explore collaboration opportunities within the university, and build international networks.

You will be based in the Department of Computer Science and will be part of a vibrant community of machine learning, data science, and AI researchers. The university promotes seamless collaboration across departments, schools, and faculties. Notable links include the Alan Turing Institute, ELLIS, the Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and the Christabel Pankhurst Institute for Health Technology.
