Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
We invite applications for a Research Assistant / Research Associate position at the University of Cambridge to join the Prob AI Hub. The vision of the Prob AI hub is to develop a world-leading, diverse and UK-wide research programme in foundational aspects of AI. The hub will develop the next generation of mathematically rigorous, scalable and uncertainty-aware AI algorithms. This will be achieved by bringing together world-leading researchers across Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Probability and Statistics, who engage with a range of non-academic partners; transforming the people pipeline; and producing a culture change within the mathematical sciences more broadly, so that cross-disciplinary mathematics research in AI is the norm.
This £8.5M programme is funded by EPSRC and brings together research groups from the Universities of Lancaster, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester and Warwick. There is a 3-year position available at each of these six institutions. This advert relates to the PDRA position at the University of Cambridge. Interaction between the research groups at the six Universities will be strongly encouraged and resourced, with broad research projects to involve substantial cross-institutional collaborations.
The Research Assistant / Associate will join the Cambridge Image Analysis group at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, working with Prof. Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb. We are particularly interested in the following areas: mathematical imaging, inverse problems, mathematical foundations of deep learning, physics-informed learning, structure-preserving deep learning, and have interdisciplinary collaborations with clinicians, biologists and physicists on biomedical imaging topics, chemical engineers and plant scientists on image sensing, as well as collaborations with artists and art conservators on digital art restoration.
