Position Type
Fixed Term
Duration
Fixed term contract for 36 months
Salary
£35,116-£45,413 per annum
About the Role
*For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Gareth Roberts at
Gareth.o...@warwick.ac.uk*
Fixed term, full-time contracts of 36 months available. Start date to be
agreed with the successful candidate.
We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the
OCEAN project (On intelligenCE And Networks: Mathematical and
Algorithmic Foundations for Multi-Agent Decision-Making,
https://oceanerc.com/). This timely project will develop statistical and
algorithmic foundations for systems involving multiple incentive-driven
learning and decision-making agents, including uncertainty
quantification at the agent’s level. The project will bring together
ideas from Statistics, Probability, Machine Learning, Statistics and
Game Theory and is an ambitious 10M Euro project funded by ERC (UK
component from the UKRI funding guarantee), and led by 4PIs: Gareth
Roberts (Warwick), Eric Moulines (Ecole Polytechnique), Christian Robert
(Dauphine) and Michael Jordan (Berkeley).
About You
We are seeking to recruit a Research Fellow to join the team of
investigators led by Gareth Roberts. The successful applicant will be
based at Warwick but expected to work alongside other researchers from
Roberts’s team (including Adam Johansen at Warwick, Murray Pollock and
Hongsheng Dai at Newcastle University, and Louis Aslett at Durham
University), as well as researchers from the teams in Paris and
Berkeley. They will participate in the many collaborative activities of
OCEAN, while also enjoying the vibrant research environment of the
Warwick Computational Statistics group.
We encourage applications in all areas of the theory, methodology and
applications of Computational Statistics or Machine Learning. Previous
knowledge of statistical privacy, distributed inference, and/or game
theory would be useful, but are not expected.
You should have, or be close to completing, a PhD in Statistics,
Probability, Machine Learning or a related discipline. You will work
directly with the investigators to undertake and support research
necessary to achieve the aims within this grant. This will include, for
example, publishing in leading methodological/application journals,
presentation of research at workshops and conferences, developing code
implementing new statistical methods, and active involvement in project
meetings. You will be experienced in one or more of the following areas:
Statistics, Computational Statistics, Theory and methodology of
Stochastic Algorithms, High-Performance Computing, and Machine Learning.
You will have demonstrated the ability to develop new statistical or
machine learning methodology. We are particularly keen to encourage
applicants with strong computational skills, as part of a team of
researchers with skills that cover theoretical, methodological, and
applied statistics. A demonstrable ability to produce academic writing
of the highest publishable quality is essential.
Candidates who are considering making an application are strongly
encouraged to contact Professor Gareth Roberts
(gareth.o...@warwick.ac.uk).
For further information regarding the skills required for this role
please see the personal specification section of the attached job
description.

not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as
Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade
structure
<https://warwick.ac.uk/services/humanresources/internal/payroll/salscalescurrent/current/>.
Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will
