We’re seeking someone to join our team in the Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub, led by Mike Shaver, to help transform this interface. Candidates with a background in AI and a passion for sustainability are encouraged to apply. Prior experience in sustainability or life cycle assessment is a plus but not required. (One Research Associate position available)
2. UKRI Turing AI World-Leading Fellowship: Focused on developing new principles and methods for Advanced User Modelling, sequential decision making, and Automatic Experimental Design, with and without Human-in-the-Loop. (One Research Associate and one Research Fellow position available)
3. UKRI AI hub in Generative Models: Development of principles and tools for generative models, a key technology impacting our lives. (One Research Associate position available)
4. PhD student positions in the UKRI AI CDT in Decision Making for Complex Systems: Multiple positions available for UK-based students. Projects include "Human-in-the-loop generative models for experimental design" with Patrick Cai and Mingfei Sun, and "Learning theory and methods for novel types of distributional shifts" with Omar Rivasplata.
