[DMANET] Postdoc Position in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Machine Learning at University of Liverpool

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Optimisation Algorithms, Combinatorics and Machine Learning
(Three Year Position)

Leverhulme Centre for Functional Materials Design
University of Liverpool

Salary: £34,805 to £40,322 pa
Closes: 25th March 2020
Job Ref: 016801

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BYP815/postdoctoral-research-associate-in-optimisation-algorithms-combinatorics-and-machine-learning-grade-7

Applications are invited for an ambitious scientist with a strong track record of excellence
to work within an interdisciplinary team of researchers as part of the new Centre for Functional
Materials Design funded by the Leverhulme Trust – one of only 4 such centres funded
in the UK in this new scheme. The successful applicant's research skills and experience
will contribute to and determine the future and path of the Centre's Research.

You will have a PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics or a relevant discipline and excellent,
transferable skills evident in the disciplines of computational complexity, optimisation algorithms,
machine learning or crystal structure prediction. It is important to note that this role
has a broad scope and that many skills sets could be relevant rather than recruiting to
fill a narrow list of technical requirements.

The Research Themes of interest are Optimisation Algorithms, Combinatorics and Machine Learning.
We are looking for a person with a strong background at least in one of these themes,
but who would be able and interested to contribute in other two themes.

You will work within an interdisciplinary team of researchers, developing and implementing
modern computer science methods and algorithms to tackle optimisation and combinatorics problems
related to the design of inorganic crystalline materials. Your application should therefore set out
how your skills, experience, career ambition, and capabilities will contribute to the success of t
he centre at all levels.

Please contact Professor P Spirakis email: P.Spirakis@liverpool.ac.uk or
Professor M Rosseinsky email: m.j.rosseinsky@liverpool.ac.uk for all enquiries.
