Postdoctoral fellowship in MML, Monash University (Australia), Deadline: 21 July 2008

David Dowe <David.Dowe@infotech.monash.edu.au> is looking for a 
postdoctoral fellow for collaborative work on (Bayesian) Minimum Message 
Length (MML) and/or Kolmogorov complexity applied to any of (e.g.) 
clustering, mixture modelling, hierarchical clustering and hierarchical 
mixture modelling, latent factor analysis, regression, time series, DNA 
microarray analysis, decision trees, decision graphs, support vector 
machines (SVMs), classification, Bayesian nets, Inductive Logic 
Programming (ILP) and hybrids thereof, etc.

The relevant researcher should have between two and eight years of 
post-doctoral experience as of September 2008.  A successful applicant 
will be appointed as Research Fellow (Level B) beginning January 2009, 
with a salary per annum up to Aus$82,951 (including superannuation) and 
Aus$50,000 additional research support for 5 years.  More specific and 
detailed information is at 
www.csse.monash.edu.au/~dld/2009_DDowe_MML_MonashFellowships-guidelines.pdf 
.

The stated University deadline is Tuesday 5 August 2008, but Monash's 
Faculty of I.T. will have a much earlier internal deadline of approx. Mon. 
21st July - so we should try to aim for that.

Enquiries direct to David, please.

Cheers,

Alan
