Postdoctoral Research Assistant
The School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant/Research Assistant on a major new European Research Council Advanced Grant called "Effective Bayesian Modelling with Knowledge Before Data" (Short Name: BAYES-KNOWLEDGE) awarded to Professor Norman Fenton. The project aims to improve evidence-based decision-making in areas such as medicine, law, forensics, and transport. What makes it radical is that it plans to do this in situations (common for critical risk assessment problems) where there is little or even no data, and hence where traditional statistics cannot be used. The project will develop a method to systemize the way expert driven causal (Bayesian Network) models can be built and used effectively either in the absence of data or as a means of determining what future data is really required. Full details of the project can be found on www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/~norman/projects/B_Knowledge.html.
The successful candidate is expected to have outstanding experience in Bayesian Network modelling with data and expert judgment. The applicants should have expertise in working with Java and API programming and substantial experience in using statistical software, including Bayesian network packages is desirable. The post holder is expected to be able to work effectively with experts from a wide range of application domains in order to help develop models and requirements.
The post is full time for 48 months starting from April 2014 or as soon as possible after this date. The starting salary will be in the range of £31,113 - £34,626 per annum inclusive of London allowance. Benefits include 30 days annual leave, defined benefit pension scheme and interest-free season ticket loan.
Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. Where required this may include entry clearance or continued leave to remain under the Points Based Immigration Scheme.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Prof. Norman Fenton
Details about the School can be found at www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk
The closing date for applications is 21 March 2014.
Interviews are expected to be held soon after the closing date.
