Open position for a Senior Researcher in Machine Learning
---------------------------------------------------------

The Dalle Molle Institute for Perceptual Artificial Intelligence (IDIAP, 
http://www.idiap.ch) seeks qualified applicants to fill the position of 
Senior Researcher in its Machine Learning group.

Given the current scientific strengths of IDIAP, the ideal candidate should 
have strong research experience in machine learning problems related to speech 
processing, vision processing, and above all, multimodal processing.

The ideal candidate will have been active for several years in the machine 
learning research community, and have yielded a strong publication record. He 
or She is expected to supervise PhD students and postdoctoral fellows in 
machine learning, propose new research projects at a national and European 
level, and be open to eventually giving lectures (either at IDIAP, or at the 
nearby EPFL engineering school, http://www.epfl.ch). In fact, given the strong 
relationship between IDIAP and EPFL, extremely qualified and experienced 
candidates have the possibility of being offered an academic title of 
professor at EPFL, while working at IDIAP.

IDIAP has recently been awarded several large research projects in multimodal
processing, both at the national and European level (see for instance 
http://www.im2.ch), and the ideal candidate will be interested in the research 
projects associated with this funding.

IDIAP is an equal opportunity employer and is actively involved in the 
European initiative involving the Advancement of Women in Science. IDIAP seeks 
to maintain a principle of open competition (on the basis of merit) to appoint 
the best candidate, provide equal opportunity for all candidates, and equally 
encourages both females and males to consider employment with IDIAP.

Although IDIAP is located in the French part of Switzerland, English is the 
main working language. Free English and French lessons are provided.

IDIAP is located in the town of Martigny (http://www.martigny.ch) in Valais, 
a scenic region in the south of Switzerland, surrounded by the highest 
mountains of Europe, and offering exciting recreational activities, including 
hiking, climbing and skiing, as well as varied cultural activities. It is 
within close proximity to Montreux (Jazz Festival) and Lausanne.

Interested candidates should send a letter of application, along with their 
detailed CV to jobs at idiap.ch. More information can also be obtained by 
contacting Samy Bengio (bengio at idiap.ch).
