The Institute of Mathematics in Aberdeen is currently advertising a postdoctoral position funded by an EPSRC Network grant under the title “The Mathematical Foundation of Artificial Intelligence – An Erlangen programme.” The network, led by Oxford, includes 6 institutions, 38 researchers, and a growing number of business partners. The programme aims to produce a study based on rigorous mathematical principles that would bring better understanding of existing AI methods as well as a new generation of methods that have guaranteed expressive and generalisation power, better interpretability, scalability, and data- and computational-efficiency.

The part Aberdeen will play within this programme is based on the work and experience of Professor Ran Levi in applications of algebra, graph theory, category theory, and algebraic topology to science, and particularly neuroscience. Work will be carried out primarily within the Institute of Mathematics which is a part of the School of Natural and Computing Science.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in pure or applied algebraic topology, and a working knowledge of mathematical programming in python and/or C++.  The post will require collaborative work with Prof Levi on the subject of the programme, as well as meetings, discussions and collaborative work with other parties involved in the project.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on Grade 6, £37,999 - £41,421 per annum with placement according to qualifications and experience.

Informal enquiries should be made to Professor Ran Levi, Chair in Mathematical Sciences e-mail: r.levi@abdn.ac.uk
