24-29 St Giles’, Oxford, OX1 3LB The Department of Statistics is recruiting for two Florence Nightingale Bicentenary Fellows in Statistics. These are career development positions intended to carry around half the teaching load of an ordinary Oxford faculty position. The successful candidates would be expected to take up their role by 1 September 2025 at the latest. Funding for research costs of £2,000 per year will be available. The post holders will join the dynamic and collaborative Department of Statistics. The Department carries out world-leading research in computational statistics, machine learning, theoretical statistics, and probability as well as applied statistics fields, including statistical finance (including arbitrage and market microstructure), statistical and population genetics, bioinformatics and statistical epidemiology. We aim to hire two candidates who can teach computational statistics and advanced simulation topics or other mainstream topics in statistics. The successful candidates will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil with post-qualification research experience in statistics or a related subject. For Grade 7, the successful applicants are not required to have post-qualification research experience, but will hold or be close to completion of a relevant PhD/DPhil. They will have a strong publication record and sufficient specialist knowledge to develop research projects, along with effective teaching and supervision skills.This post is fixed-term for three years.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics. But while the technology continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to communicate it clearly has become just as important as building the models themselves. Whether you're applying for a junior ML engineer role, a research position, or a client-facing AI consultant job, UK employers increasingly expect candidates to explain complex machine learning solutions to non-technical audiences. In this guide, you’ll learn how to confidently present your work, structure your message, use simple visuals, and explain the real-world value of machine learning in a way that makes sense to people without a background in data science.
