Research Fellow in Machine Learning and Spatial Statistics

Research Fellow, Dept. of Statistics and Dept. of Computer Science, University of Warwick

An enthusiastic individual is sought as a postdoctoral research fellow to work in the area of machine learning and spatial statistics. The post is a joint appointment between the Departments of Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Warwick, and the successful applicant will be based at The Alan Turing Institute in London (a London allowance will be payable).

You will join a team of researchers affiliated with the ATI and led by Dr. Theo Damoulas, including research assistants and PhD students in computer science and statistics.

Responsibilities include performing high-quality research under the supervision of Dr. Theo Damoulas and Prof. Mark Steel, as part of the Turing-Lloyds Register Foundation funded project ‘Air Quality Sensor Networks’. This project is likely to involve hierarchical Bayesian models, nonparametric Bayesian inference, graphical models, active learning, experimental design, and issues in spatiotemporal inference such as non-stationarity and non-separability.

Requirements include a PhD or equivalent qualification in Statistics, Computer Science, or Applied Mathematics. You should have a strong background in one or more of the following areas: Bayesian inference, spatial statistics, probabilistic machine learning.

Salary: £29,799 – £38,833 per annum (plus £3000 London Allowance)
Location: The Alan Turing Institute, London
Fixed Term Position for 24 months

Closing date: 12 July 2018

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK. Whether you work in finance, healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, robotics, or consumer applications, there’s a need for dedicated machine learning teams that can deliver models into production, maintain them, keep them secure, efficient, fair, and aligned with business objectives. If you’re hiring for or applying to ML roles via MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, this article will help you understand what roles are typically present in a mature machine learning department, how they collaborate through project lifecycles, what skills and qualifications UK employers look for, what the career paths and salaries are, current trends and challenges, and how to build an effective ML team.
