Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Data Analytics (Fixed Term) (COS611)

We seek to employ as soon as possible a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow that will be working on a BBSRC seeding catalyst project “ReACT Refrigeration Al Control Technologies”. You should hold a good honours degree and ideally a PhD, and should be able to demonstrate a track record in at least one of the following fields:

- Data Analytics

- Statistical Modelling

- Programming in R, Python, Tensorflow or C++

Once in post, you will be working with Dr Georgios Leontidis (Senior Lecturer and Principal Investigator) on the aforementioned research project, primarily for running statistical models (on already available datasets) and write a scientific paper and project reports. It is also expected to have a direct collaboration with other researchers of the project. The successful candidate will be a member of the Machine Learning Research Group (Mlearn). The Mlearn is a rapidly expanding group, part of the School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln and specialises in the development of machine learning, neural networks, deep learning techniques, decision-making systems, signal processing and big data and various application fields such as healthcare, agri-food, energy and other industrial applications. We provide a highly-dynamic inter-disciplinary research environment with a broad range of collaboration opportunities. In this project, you will have access to various sources and knowledge within the University, as well as provided by other partners of the project. 

The University of Lincoln is a forward-thinking, ambitious institution and you will be working in the heart of a thriving, beautiful, safe and friendly city. The School provides a stimulating environment for academic research, and is located on the picturesque waterfront campus in the historic and vibrant city of Lincoln. The University has just announced a £130M investment programme, a significant part of which is being invested in new, purpose-built facilities for the School of Computer Science. Lincoln itself is a small but fast growing city in the east-midlands. It offers a fantastic life quality given by moderate living costs, a medieval city centre including a famous cathedral and a beautiful ancient canal system that is still in use by many house boats nowadays. 

If you would like to know more about this opportunity, please contact Dr Georgios Leontidis (Senior Lecturer in Computer Science, gleontidis@lincoln.ac.uk). Candidates will hear whether they have been successful at the shortlisting stage in the first week of January. 

Please note due to the short term nature of this post, this position does not fulfil the UK Visas & Immigration sponsorship criteria for Tier 2.
