Experimental Officer in Machine Learning Platforms

Are you an ambitious person looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in Machine Learning? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research-intensive Universities?

You will work on the Development in Africa with Radio Astronomy (DARA) project with Prof Hoare and colleagues to establish a Machine Learning training platform for radio astronomy trainees in Africa. You will liaise with members of the DARA team to develop a training platform that will complement other aspects of data science training within DARA and beyond. The platform should have different levels for those with beginner, intermediate and advanced level prior knowledge. You will develop exemplar codes and data sets in both astronomy and Earth Observation. Consultations with DARA industrial partners will also be involved to showcase the synergies between the use of Machine Learning in astronomy and commercial opportunities in the space sector.
