RESEARCH ASSOCIATE ON PRINCIPLED FOUNDATIONS FOR PROBABILISTIC PROGRAMMING
University of Oxford
Oxford OX1 2JD, UK
Job Description
Research Associate on Principled Foundations for Probabilistic Programming
Department of Computer Science, Parks Road, Oxford.
Grade 7: £32,817 - £40,322 p.a.
THIS VACANCY IS FOR INTERNAL APPLICATIONS ONLY
A full-time postdoctoral researcher post, fixed-term for 10 months, reporting to Sam Staton, is available to investigate foundational aspects of the theory of probabilistic programming.
The appointee will develop foundational aspects of the theory of probabilistic programming, for example, developing category theoretic foundations for synthetic measure theory, using tools such as s-finite kernels and quasi-Borel spaces. The exact scope of the research will depend on the skills and experience of the successful candidate.
Candidates should have a PhD (or be very near completion) in computer science or mathematics with a strong background in category theory and measure theory, evidenced by published papers that substantially use these methods.
The primary selection criteria include the abilities to conduct and complete research projects (as witnessed by peer-reviewed publications), and contribute ideas for new research projects; and writing skills.
We would particularly welcome applications from women and black and minority ethnic applicants who are currently under-represented within the Computer Science Department.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 2 April 2020.
Our staff and students come from all over the world and we proudly promote a friendly and inclusive culture. Diversity is positively encouraged, through diversity groups and champions, for example www.cs.ox.ac.uk/aboutus/women-cs-oxford/index.html, as well as a number of family-friendly policies, such as the right to apply for flexible working and support for staff returning from periods of extended absence, for example maternity leave.
