We are seeking a Research Assistant/Research Associate to join an exciting team at the University of Cambridge working with the Prob_AI Hub, a world-leading research programme in probabilistic AI. This £8.5M programme is funded by EPSRC and brings together research groups from the Universities of Lancaster, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester and Warwick. Interaction between the research groups at the six universities is strongly encouraged and resourced. The position will also initially contribute to the Machine Learning for Tomorrow research programme which is synergistic to the Hub and involves Microsoft Research Cambridge.
The Research Assistant/Associate will join the Machine Learning Group at the Department of Engineering, working with Prof. Richard E. Turner. We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise and interest in any of the following areas: machine learning for partial differential equations; stochastic processes, functional representations, and deep learning; diffusion and probability flow for spatio-temporal models. We will make methodological contributions that drive advancements in spatio-temporal prediction e.g. in the environmental sciences, weather forecasting, and climate modelling.
