PhD Studentship in Large-Scale Data Mining
The School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham invites
applications for a PhD studentship under the supervision of Dr. Jaume
Bacardit in the context of large-scale data mining.
Bacardit and his colleagues have spent several years developing machine
learning methods able to process vasts amounts of information by using a
combination of advanced machine learning algorithms and hardware
advances such as GPGPUs. These methods have been successfully applied to
a variety of real-world problems in bioinformatics and biological data
mining. This line of research has won several prizes, international
competitions and best paper awards, and has been published in major
conferences and journals. For a list of publications in this area,
please see http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~jqb/#pub
The successful applicant will join Bacardit’s team within the
Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex Systems (ICOS) research group.
The mission of ICOS (http://icos.cs.nott.ac.uk/) is to derive new
knowledge and provide innovative solutions to problems arising in
complex systems, both natural (e.g. in biology, chemistry, physics) and
man-made (e.g. socio-technical organisations, infrastructure in
healthcare, logistics). To accomplish its mission, the group leverages
its interdisciplinary expertise in advanced information processing (e.g.
image analysis, machine learning, data mining), process modelling (e.g.
optimisation under uncertainty), and high-performance computation (e.g.
distributed, cloud and GPU computing). ICOS currently has five
academics, six research fellows and 13 PhD students.
Applicants should have at least an upper second-class honours degree
(ideally a first class degree), or a combination of qualifications
and/or experience equivalent to that level. Ideally, students should
have a BSc or MSc degree in computer science. The specific topic of the
studentship will be determined based on the applicant’s background and
research preferences, within the context of large-scale data mining.
The studentship provides full tuition fees and a tax-free stipend of
£13,590 per annum for 3.5 years for UK students only.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr J Bacardit, tel: +44 115 846

Applications, with a detailed CV, a research statement and the names and
addresses of two referees, should be sent to Ms D Pitchfork, School of
Computer Science, The University of Nottingham, Jubilee Campus, Wollaton
Road, Nottingham, NG8 1BB. Tel: 0115 846 6543. Email:
[log in to unmask] Please state clearly Dr. Bacardit’s
name in the application and quote ref. SCI/1118.
This studentship will remain open until a suitable candidate is found,
thus we recommend applying early.
