Dear colleagues and friends,

The machine learning group at UCLA, led by Fei Sha (
http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~feisha/) and Ameet Talwalkar (
http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~ameet/) , has 1 remaining open postdoctoral position.
We seek applicants from all areas of machine learning. Candidates must hold
a PhD in computer science, statistics or a closely related discipline, and
have a strong publication record in top conferences and journals (NIPS,
ICML, JMLR, etc.). The expected start date is July, but is also be
flexible.

The postdoctoral researcher is to interact and collaborate closely with
both faculty and graduate students in our research group, which consists of
about 10 students and postdocs. While the research group has a rich set of
ongoing research projects, the postdoctoral researcher is also encouraged
to be independent and develop his/her own research agenda that complements
existing research endeavors. Quality of research is the ultimate criterion.

The UCLA CS department is rapidly growing with core strengths in machine
learning, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, data science, computer
vision and robotics. UCLA provides a thriving research environment with
interdisciplinary activities between these areas and others, and with
cross-cutting collaborations among various departments and schools on
campus.

The campus is located on the west side of Los Angeles, with convenient
access to beaches / mountains / national parks and a fantastic assortment
of cultural diversity and activities throughout the metropolitan LA area.
UCLA is also in close proximity to many other renowned academic
institutions such as Caltech, USC, and other UC campuses.

Interested candidates should email Fei Sha (feisha at cs.ucla.edu) and
Ameet Talwalkar (ameet at cs.ucla.edu) with their CVs, research statements
and a list of reference letter writers.

Thanks.

-Ameet
