Job offer: stochastic system modeling

[Herbert Jaeger]

The School of Engineering and Science of International University Bremen 
(www.iu-bremen.de) invites applications for a

Ph.D. or Post-Doc Position in Computational Science

The candidate should have a strong background in modeling stochastic 
systems with machine learning techniques. Specifically, his/her research 
will be concerned with observable operator models (OOMs, see 
http://www.ais.fraunhofer.de/INDY/oom_research.html). OOMs are 
superficially similar to hidden Markov models, but arise from 
operator/state methods related to the quantum mechanics formalism. OOMs 
and related models are currently being investigated in areas as diverse 
as theoretical physics (J.P. Crutchfield, H. Honerkamp) and learning 
methods for robots (R. Sutton). The rigorous mathematical  theory 
underlying OOMs gives rise to new, highly efficient learning algorithms 
which would be the object of both theoretical and applied research in 
the offered position.

The School of Engineering and Science at IUB offers a research-oriented 
working environment with an informal and dynamic atmosphere and a high 
degree of interactions between students, faculty and staff. IUB offers 
highly competitive salaries based on qualifications and experience. The 
contract would initially run over 2 years.

Interested candidates with a degree in mathematics, computer science, 
physics, or signal processing and control engineering please direct 
inquiries and applications to
