We are welcoming applications across 13 research areas, one of which is in Machine Learning, and we will make 6 appointments.

About the Prize Fellowship

Our Prize Fellowship offer early-stage researchers the opportunity to join a cohort of like-minded rising research stars. These two-year research fellowships in our priority research areas are part of a scheme intended to fast-track fellows to a permanent appointment at Bath. Alumni of the scheme have become scientific leaders, progressing rapidly within the university to Senior Lecturer, Reader and Professor. As a University of Bath Prize Fellow you will have the opportunity to:

* conduct high quality research as an independent researcher, including securing funding via research grants and/or fellowship applications and building a research group appropriate to the academic department and discipline; * develop international research links; * contribute to advanced undergraduate teaching and supervision, training and research of graduate students; * promote research in the discipline, including public engagement.

About the department

The Department of Computer Science is home to the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Accountable, Responsible and Transparent AI (ART-AI). ART-AI offers a uniquely interdisciplinary doctoral training approach, recruiting PhD students from a wide range of backgrounds across computer science and artificial intelligence, engineering and technology, and humanities and social sciences. ARTAI brings these students together in interdisciplinary teams with ML researchers and leading researchers in other fields from across the university and partners.

Machine learning (ML) underlies many of the recent developments and excitement in AI. Bath’s strength in this field has been growing in recent years and there is a critical mass of research and impact activity in this area. We are continuing to grow our machine learning staff base and research portfolio and benefit from teaching very capable and enthusiastic students.

Our MSc Data Science attracts the best students and was listed by Forbes in the top 10 best AI and Data Science courses in the world for 2021.
