Postdoctoral research position in Data-driven Research on Sports
& Healthy Living<br>
===================================================================<br>
The Amsterdam Machine Learning Laboratory (AMLAB) in the Faculty of
Science at the University of Amsterdam seeks a highly qualified
postdoctoral researcher with a strong background and interest in
adaptive intelligent interactive systems for the project “Playful
Data-driven Active Urban Living”. We want to understand how physical
activity of city dwellers can be increased by using app technology
for coaching. The challenging project is an international
collaboration between Dutch and Brazilian research groups from Sao
Paulo. The team consists of a Ph.D. in game research (at Utrecht
University), two researchers of the Amsterdam University of Applied
Sciences and researchers from the Federal University of São Paulo
(UNIFESP).<br>
<br>
The postdoc will focus on the development of machine learning
methods to obtain optimal motivational, coaching and feedback
strategies. The position is funded for one year, with an expected
renewal of another year.<br>
<br>
A successful candidate must have obtained a recent Ph.D. in
artificial intelligence, computer engineering, mathematics or a
similar discipline. Candidates with a Ph.D. in biomedical
engineering, medicine, psychology, or other clinical sciences will
be considered if they have a demonstrated ability for technical
(e.g. mathematical or computational) research. The candidate must
have experience in decision making/reinforcement learning, as well
as machine learning.<br>
<br>
Publication of significant research in high quality venues will be a
top priority for successful candidates. Start date for the position
is July 2017. Successful candidates will receive a one-year
contract, with expected extensions based on performance to (at
least) current funding timelines of three years.<br>
