    Postdoctoral and Postgraduate Research Assistants and PhD Studentship

    RADAR (Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis Research) group
    Department of Computer Science, Queen Mary, University of London

    Applicants are invited to join this active research group, with an
    international reputation,
    to work on the *application* of Bayesian Networks to decision support and
    risk problems.

    Three posts are available:

    * Postdoctoral research assistant. The successful candidate will have
    a PhD in a relevant quantitative discipline and be computer
    literate. The post will involve the creation of Bayesian risk models
    and the design of Bayesian risk tools.

    * Postgraduate research assistant. The successful candidate will have
    at least a 2(i) degree in a relevant quantitative or computing
    discipline. The post will involve the design and implementation of
    Bayesian risk tools using VB, C or Java.

    * The studentship is for 3 years, funded at the standard Research
    Council rate. Candidates should have or expect at least a 2(i) degree
    in a relevant quantitative or computing discipline and a strong
    interest in studying for a PhD.

    One of the research assistant posts can be offered as a part-time
    position over two years. The other research assistant post will be
    full-time for two years.

    For a suitably qualified candidate the postdoctoral salary will be up
    to £33,101 pro-rata (inclusive of London Allowance. The salary for the
    postgraduate position will be up to £34,500 pro-rata (inclusive of
    London Allowance). For both posts there is also the opportunity to
    significantly enhance this salary by doing related applied consultancy
    work.

    Successful candidates would primarily be engaged on the EPSRC funded
    SCORE(Sensing Change in Operational Risk Exposure) project, but would
    also contribute to the portfolio of other projects we are involved
    in. For full details of our research projects please see:

    The RADAR group prides itself on its close contact with a number of
    leading commercial organisations. Unlike many fixed-term university
    research posts, these vacancies offer the potential for clear career
    progression, which would suit somebody interested in applying
    leading-edge research in industry.

    Informal enquiries should be directed, by email initially to Dr Martin
    Neil (martin@dcs.qmw.ac.uk) or Professor Norman Fenton
    (norman@dcs.qmw.ac.uk). Further details on these posts can be seen at
