We are seeking a highly creative and motivated PhD student to join the Machine Learning Group in the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, UK.

Probabilistic methods in time series analysis and control To improve approximate Bayesian inference in non-linear dynamical systems, allowing for learning and control in the face of data scarcity, noise and uncertainty. Simultaneous solution to dynamics learning and control through experimental design.

The Machine Learning Group is internationally renowned, comprising about 30 researchers, including Dr. Turner, Prof. Zoubin Ghahramani, Prof. Carl Edward Rasmussen, and Dr. Miguel Hernandez Lobato.

For further information contact Professor Carl Rasmussen [email protected]

Applicants should hold (or be expected to hold) a degree in Information Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Physics, or Computer Science preferably with 1stclass honours (or equivalent).
