Job description

Postdocs and Research Fellows: Probabilistic machine learning, Centre for AI Fundamentals, Manchester, UK, DL July 27, 2025

Jul 14, 2025

I am hiring in my machine learning group in Manchester, UK, DL July 27, 2025

Funded by UKRI Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship, in the Manchester Centre for AI Fundamentals.

We are particularly interested in developing new machine learning for research, which involves AI4Science and for health, sequential decision making and experimental design under uncertainty, and collaborative AI. Machine learning keywords include Bayesian inference, distribution shifts, generative modelling, human-in-the-loop learning, privacy-preserving learning, reinforcement learning, inverse reinforcement learning, computational rationality and user modelling, and simulation-based inference.

The positions come with excellent opportunities for collaboration with machine learning researchers in the ELLIS Unit Manchester and the rest of the ELLIS network, and with researchers in other fields for AI for Research.

These are fixed-term positions for a year, but there will be opportunities for excellent researchers to continue in my team in Manchester or Helsinki.

Contact me and [e-mail] for more details.
