Postdoc position in data science at the University of Edinburgh

We welcome applications to fill a postdoctoral position on statistical data processing in assisted living technologies from candidates with
scientific computing, applied mathematics or computational statistics background. The post entails primarily independent research work but also some collaboration with other researchers from the NewTechnologies of Care Centre (https://www.ed.ac.uk/usher/advanced-care-research-centre). You will contribute to the research, analysis and development of randomised sketching algorithms
for streaming sensor data in the context of online model learning. The goal of the project is to identify structure in streaming data from
various sensors and capture it in a “data sketch”, a low-dimensional structure that preserves the main features of the original data with
respect to a given computational task.
Deadline: 31st of May.
The initial appointment is for 18 months extension subject to performance.
