[Taxacom] Fellowship opportunity at Kew

[Nicky Nicolson]

Hello,
A 4 year fellowship for a computer scientist is available in the Intelligent Data Analysis team at Kew Gardens - we manage one of the world's largest scientific plant and fungal specimen collections and associated data. Our scientific work over the past decades and centuries has assembled labelled datasets which we can now reposition as training data for machine learning applications. This fellowship will develop this area to research and develop advanced techniques to mobilise the data and integrate it with complementary datasets from other organisations.
