5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The synergy of distinct disciplines that all focus on behavioural models and the development of new state-of-the-art modelling frameworks holds the promise of providing new Data-Driven Behavioural Models (DDBMs) combining the strengths and addressing the distinct limitations of each area. The development of DDBMs will come at a time when big data sources constantly challenge traditional modelling approaches. Additionally, the growth in human-machine interactions, such as with the advent of autonomous vehicles, will require the development of AI consistent with human behaviour to guarantee public safety and wider adoption in the market.
Application Deadline: 02 August 2024
6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The role will involve working at the cutting edge of Machine Learning for analysing human decisions/behaviour, but with a keen focus on helping to build bridges across areas, helping to develop modelling frameworks that will actively shape future policy making. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate sufficient theoretical and technical knowledge in machine learning, and possess an open mind to new ideas and approaches. Knowledge of a programming language, with an emphasis on R and/or Python, is also strongly advised.

7. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This is a new role which has arisen through the award of an AHRC grant to Prof Alice Deignan to fund a project entitled ‘Young people, figurative language and criticality’. The project aims to describe the figurative language used with and by young people in the framing of ideology and new concepts, and to estimate their levels of awareness of this framing. The project will combine corpus building and analysis with interviews and think aloud protocol tasks. The project partners are the Universities of Birmingham and Lancaster, Oxford University Press, and schools in Yorkshire and Birmingham.
Application Deadline: 23 August 2024
8. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
One in ten people need surgery each year, but waiting times are at an all-time high with 7.2 million people awaiting routine treatment. This means people are living with prolonged symptoms, added anxiety, and employment issues, in addition to paying for additional care. This affects the quality of life for patients, carers, and their families. Demand for hospital care is limited by the availability of acute care beds with over thirteen thousand patients occupying beds (one-seventh of total NHS bed capacity) who are medically fit but don’t have access to suitable community and social care support. Technology can help to address these problems by making surgical care pathways more efficient.
Application Deadline: 28 July 2024

11. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
There is growing interest in understanding the potential role of soil carbon sequestration in achieving net zero in agriculture. However, the large heterogeneity between farms in terms of their pedo-climatic conditions and specific management pose a challenge to identify relationships and requires using a lot of empirical data. As a Research Fellow, you will help analyse large soil data sets collected from UK agricultural fields and build statistical and/or machine learned models to account for the relationships between agricultural soils properties and the context-specificity of the impact of regenerative agriculture practices and land use change (e.g. agroforestry) on soil health indicators, in particular soil carbon stocks and sequestration rates.
