Job Opportunity: Research Associate:Job description:Job location: Edinburgh Full time - 35 hours per week Fixed term contract - 24 months The Opportunity: Opportunity to work with Dr Antonio Vergari as a postdoc for two years in the APRIL research lab (https://april-tools.github.io/) in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, on projects in the research areas of Probabilistic Machine Learning, Neuro-Symbolic AI and Deep Generative Models. The candidate will research the methodological foundations for a new generation of probabilistic models and programs that come with guarantees while being efficient. Possible topics include but are not limited to: i) expanding the theoretical boundaries of reliable probabilistic inference and unifying modern probabilistic formalisms ii) designing modular algorithms for complex probabilistic inference with guarantees in the presence of logical constraints and heterogeneous data iii) devising novel and efficient algorithms to lgain probabilistic models and programs from data, iv) complex reasoning with deep generative models. This post is full-time (35 hours per week) however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. Your skills and attributes for success: » Ph.D degree (or nearing completion)in CS, Math or related areas » skills in probabilistic reasoning, modelling, or programming with particular emphasis on efficiency and relicapability » Proficiency with modern deep learning frameworks such as pytorch, jax » Proficiency in English (both oral and written) Skills:
