2 Senior Lecturer / Lecturer (Asst Prof) and other positions in Machine Learning in Manchester, UK

Apr 25, 2022

Manchester Centre for AI Fundamentals has positions open at all levels: Senior Lecturer, Lecturer, Research Fellow, Postdoc, and PhD (funded).

Now is the time to join the University of Manchester as it significantly boosts its activities in Machine Learning.

The University of Manchester is making a strategic investment in the fundamentals of AI, complementing its existing strengths in AI applications across several prominent research fields. This provides high-profile opportunities for collaboration and application of fundamental AI research. The university is a key partner of the national Alan Turing Institute, hosting 33 Turing Fellows and Fellows of the European Laboratory of Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS), in the new ELLIS Unit Manchester. The ambition is to establish a leading AI centre at the intersection of these opportunities. Recently, the university launched a Centre for AI Fundamentals and has recruited four new academics to it. These positions are part of the ongoing effort to establish this new Centre.

Applications are welcome in any area of the fundamentals of machine learning, including probabilistic modelling, deep learning, reinforcement learning, causal modelling, human-in-the-loop ML, explainable AI, ethics, privacy, and security. These roles focus on advancing machine learning methodologies, though applications of ML are highly valued. Candidates are expected to contribute to the new centre, explore collaboration opportunities within the university, and build international networks.

You will be based in the Department of Computer Science and will be part of a vibrant community of machine learning, data science, and AI researchers. The university promotes seamless collaboration across departments, schools, and faculties. Notable links include the Alan Turing Institute, ELLIS, the Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and the Christabel Pankhurst Institute for Health Technology.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
