Applications are invited for a position of Research Associate on 
Algorithms and Machine Learning, which is provided by Dr He Sun’s 5-year 
£1.51M EPSRC Fellowship “Efficient Spectral Algorithms for Massive and 
Dynamic Graphs”. This fellowship aims at advancing our understanding of 
spectral techniques, investigating new spectral algorithms for 
fundamental graph problems in different settings, and implementing and 
evaluating these algorithms on real-world data sets.

This post will involve working on algorithmic aspects of graph 
clustering, including developing new notions of graph and hypergraph 
clustering, designing efficient algorithms for graph clustering in 
various settings, as well as building connections between graph 
clustering and other problems. There will be opportunities to take 
responsibility for supervising PhD students and collaborating with the 
project partners on other related research problems, all within the 
freedom of an academic research environment. The post will offer many 
opportunities for travel and collaborating with the four project 
partners of the Fellowship (Cambridge, ETH Zurich, UW, and the Turing 
Institute).

The post is full time, fixed-term for 3 years with a possibility of 
extension.

Closing date 9th April 2020 at 5pm.
