[Weigend, Andreas]

Do you want to build quantitative models millions of people will use,
based on data from the world's largest online laboratory?  Are you
passionate about formulating relevant questions and producing solutions
to initially ill-defined problems?  Do the challenges and opportunities
of terabytes of data excite you?  Can you think abstractly and apply
your ideas to the real world?  Can you contribute to the big picture and
are not afraid to handle the details?

Amazon.com is solving incredibly interesting machine learning problems
in areas ranging from pricing to personalization, from fraud detection
to warehouse picking.  Emphasizing measurement and analytics, we build
and automate solutions that leverage the Web's scale and instant
feedback.

We are looking for people with the right blend of vision, intellectual
curiosity, and hands-on skills, who want to be part of a highly visible,
entrepreneurial team at company headquarters in Seattle.  Ideal
candidates will have a track record of creating innovative solutions,
and typically a Ph.D. in computer science, physics, statistics, or
electrical engineering.  Significant research experience is desired in
fields including active learning, probabilistic graphical models and
Bayesian networks, data mining and visualization, Web search and
information retrieval, judgment and decision making, consumer modeling,
and behavioral economics.

If this position excites you, please send your resume, clearly
indicating your interests and strengths, to aweigend at amazon.com. Thank
you.
