Post-doctoral research associate position at the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the Univ. of Wisconsin

The Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison invites applications for a talented and motivated post-doctoral research associate to work at the interface of cancer biology, statistics, and bioinformatics. The post-doctoral associate will work under the supervision of Dr. Christina Kendziorski. The primary research focus will be on developing statistical and computational methods that integrate data from multiple sources to identify biomarkers useful for predicting risk to and/or treatment response within specific cancers. In addition to conducting creative, independent, and cutting-edge research, the associate will also be invited to co-lead an effort that extends latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) models and computer graphics to address these goals, and so expertise in LDA, related methods for topic modeling, and/or visualization is a plus.

Faculty member in machine learning or statistics

The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London is looking to recruit a junior or senior level faculty member in machine learning or statistics. We especially seek candidates who work in probabilistic or statistical machine learning. The Gatsby Unit was set up at UCL in 1998 as a research institute devoted to machine learning and theoretical neuroscience. We have core funding for five faculty and for associated postdocs and PhD students. PIs can raise additional funds through grants. We have no undergraduate programme, so only teaching and supervision of graduate-level Gatsby students is required.
