Connectionists: 3 Postdoctoral positions in Machine Learning

[Massimiliano Pontil]

I have openings for 3 postdocs to start in 2016. The positions are
based at IIT but collaborations and extended visits at UCL are
possible.

Areas of research interest include:

deep learning
kernel methods
multitask and transfer learning
numerical optimization
reinforcement learning
representation learning
sparsity regularization
statistical learning theory

Candidates must hold a PhD in computer science or a related discipline
(mathematics, statistics, signal processing, operations research).
Please note that outstanding applications in other areas will also be
considered.

Candidates should either have a strong background in machine learning
theory and algorithms or strong programming skills involving machine
learning algorithms and their applications.

Interest and prior expertise in applications to robotics, computer
vision and related disciplines is a plus but not a requirement.

An internationally competitive salary package subject to experience
will be offered. The scientific environment at IIT is a world-class
one offering full support to do research at outstanding levels.

The positions are based at IIT but collaborations and extended visits
at University College London are possible.

Interested applicants should submit CV, list of publications, a
statement of research interests and names of 2 references to
applications at iit.it quoting “3 Postdoctoral positions in Machine
Learning” in the e-mail subject.

To receive full consideration please apply before February 29, 2016.
