Postdoctoral Research Associate in Machine Learning
4 weeks ago
Applicants are invited for the post of Postdoctoral Research Associate at the interface between probabilistic machine learning and sustainability.
You will join a team of probabilistic modellers and machine learning researchers developing new collaborative AIprinciples and methods. This is an exciting topic which inspires new problemsin fundamental ML work, and allows attacking new applications which make a difference, for instance in scientific research. Different team members have different expertise, and by working together are able toaddress more novel problems. Keywords includeautomatic experimental design, Bayesian inference, human-in-the-loop learning, machine teaching, privacy-preserving learning, reinforcement learning, inverse reinforcement learning, computational rationality and user modelling, and simulator-based inference. These probabilistic models will be used to improve sustainability in a collaboration with the Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub, using – for the first time – sustainability inputs to direct outcomes. Prior experience in sustainability or life cycle assessment is a plus but not required.
The team is funded by a collaborative Horizon Europe project and is jointly hosted in the recently established Centre for AI Fundamentals and Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub. These cross-Faculty initiatives sit at the interface between university’s excellence in AI and environmental sustainability research and innovation.
