The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at UCL is looking to recruit a junior or senior level faculty member in machine learning or statistics. We are especially interested in candidates whose work in these fields integrates well with the Unit's focus on probabilistic inference and learning, or its wider interests in the brain. Along with the statistical machine learning focus at Gatsby, led by Yee Whye Teh, UCL offers a rich environment across the breadth of the field. Activities in these areas are anchored by the new Centre for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning which is directed by John Shawe-Taylor, involving the departments of Computer Science (Mark Herbster; Massimiliano Pontil), Statistics (Phil Dawid; Trevor Sweeting) and Gatsby itself. The Gatsby Unit was set up at UCL in 1998 as a research institute devoted to computational neuroscience and machine learning. We have core funding for five faculty, six postdocs and around six PhD students. PIs can raise additional funds through grants. We have no undergraduate programme, so only teaching and supervision of graduate-level students is required. We have close ties with the Departments of Anatomy, Computer Science, Psychology, Physiology and Statistics at UCL and with groups in Engineering and Physics (Zoubin Ghahramani, David MacKay) at Cambridge and beyond. We are located in a leafy haven in Queen Square, London. Applications, consisting of a CV, a statement of research interests and accomplishments and full contact details for three academic referees, should be sent by e-mail to: asstadmin 'at' gatsby.ucl.ac.uk Applicants are directed to further particulars about the positions available from: http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/vacancies/ Applications must arrive no later than 5th January 2007. For further information, please see www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk; for informal enquiries, please contact Yee Whye Teh at ywteh 'at' gatsby.ucl.ac.uk We particularly welcome applications from women and ethnic minorities.
