The Hub is led by the University of Southampton with partners from the University of Nottingham and King’s College London. TAS Hub is the focal point of the £33m UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems programme (for more details see <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"http://www.tas.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\" target=\"_blank\">www.tas.ac.uk</a>)</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">You will undertake independent research as well as working as part of a team - this will include using approaches or methodologies and techniques appropriate to the type of research, and being responsible for writing up your work in order to contribute to published outcomes. There will be the opportunity to use creativity to identify areas for research, develop research methods and extend your research portfolio.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">As the research will need to generalise across more than one application domain (e.g., healthcare, autonomous vehicles, IoT, etc..) this offers the opportunity to collaborate with partners from across the TAS Hub and the wider TAS programme (i.e., the 60+ TAS hub industrial partners and the TAS Nodes) and undertake industry placements.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">To take advantage of these opportunities you will have a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in one of the following areas:- Machine Learning, Natural Language processing, and Speech Processing. As work will need to be carried out in a multi-disciplinary setting involving experts and researchers from fields such as healthcare, law, engineering, business, and policy - it is important that you are able to communicate research outputs in a way that is understandable and useful to researchers from diverse disciplines.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The candidates will have experience in Machine Learning (with applications to computer vision, speech or signal processing), Reinforcement Learning, and Natural Language Processing to develop and evaluate a range of autonomous systems for challenging real-world applications. Experience in evaluative methods such as user studies and surveys, and a demonstrable interest in autonomous systems would be a welcome addition.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">A strong track record of good publications at international venues (IJCAI, AIJ, JAIR, ICML, ICLR, AAMAS, NeurIPS) is desirable.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Equality, diversity and Inclusion is central to the ethos in the School of Electronics and Computer Science. We particularly encourage women, Black, Asian and minority ethnic, LGBT and disabled applicants to apply for this position. We are committed to improving equality for women in science and have been successful in achieving an Athena SWAN bronze award in April 2020.
