"Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in AI for Finance"

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled, motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join the UKRI National AI Research Hub in AI for Collective Intelligence (AI4CI) to conduct research in AI and machine learning for ensuring stability in financial markets and investments. The role is based at University of Bristol, School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology, and will involve close collaboration with researchers at Bristol and Cardiff, as well as non-academic stakeholder partners in the financial sector.

What will you be doing?

The primary focus of this post is to develop AI and machine learning applications to support and encourage financial stability from the level of the individual trader to national and trans-national markets. The research will leverage a combination of non-traditional sources of data (e.g., social media, news media) and traditional data from financial markets (prices, volumes, etc.) to provide regulators with early warning signals of bubbles/crashes and to protect investors from pathological investment behaviour. The project will involve collaborating with a range of non-academic stakeholders.

• You are interested in finance and financial systems.
• You can demonstrate high level analytical capability.
