Research Fellows and Postdocs in Probabilistic Machine Learning and Bayesian Inference

I am looking for researchers to my new team in Manchester, UK, funded by the UKRI Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship programme “Human-AI Research Teams – Steering AI in Experimental Design and Decision-Making”. Closing date of call: September 6, 2021.

The research is fundamental research in probabilistic modelling and Bayesian inference, applied to the exciting problems of how do we steer machine learning systems. Particularly challenging is to steer when we cannot (yet) precisely specify our goal, and ultimately we would like to have machine learning systems that help us in experimental design and decisions.

Keywords include: advanced user modelling, automatic experimental design, Bayesian inference, human-in-the-loop learning, machine teaching, privacy-preserving learning, reinforcement learning and inverse reinforcement learning with or without multiple agents, and simulator-based inference. I am not expecting anyone to master all of these, though if you do, please apply immediately…

The team will have excellent opportunities of applying the methods to medicine, especially cancer research and remote medicine; experimental design in synthetic biology and drug design; and digital twins. We have top-notch collaborators in each, both in Academia and in companies, locally and internationally. We can also discuss jointly funded positions with partner companies, hospitals or collaborator groups.

More info about these positions and a link to the application portal:

  1. Because we are there
  2. Great university, with fluent collaboration with outstanding groups of application fields
  3. It is the place to be right now for machine learning. New Fundamental AI Research Centre with several new academics is being launched, on top of the already wide AI activity including Turing Institute partnership with 27 Turing Fellows and ELLIS Fellows.
  4. The most livable city in the UK (https://www.investinmanchester.com/why-manchester/living-in-manchester/quality-of-life )

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
