Postdocs and Research Fellows: Probabilistic machine learning, Centre for AI Fundamentals, Manchester, UK, DL July 27, 2025

Jul 14, 2025

I am hiring in my machine learning group in Manchester, UK, DL July 27, 2025

Funded by UKRI Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship, in the Manchester Centre for AI Fundamentals.

We are particularly interested in developing new machine learning for research, which involves AI4Science and for health, sequential decision making and experimental design under uncertainty, and collaborative AI. Machine learning keywords include Bayesian inference, distribution shifts, generative modelling, human-in-the-loop learning, privacy-preserving learning, reinforcement learning, inverse reinforcement learning, computational rationality and user modelling, and simulation-based inference.

The positions come with excellent opportunities for collaboration with machine learning researchers in the ELLIS Unit Manchester and the rest of the ELLIS network, and with researchers in other fields for AI for Research.

These are fixed-term positions for a year, but there will be opportunities for excellent researchers to continue in my team in Manchester or Helsinki.

Contact me and for more details.

Samuel Kaski, Professor, University of Manchester and Aalto University
Turing AI Fellow, ELLIS Fellow

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
