A postdoc position is available in the Data Science department of the 
Institute for Computing and Information Sciences, Radboud University 
Nijmegen. The group, headed by Prof. Tom Heskes, works on the 
development and understanding of (probabilistic) machine learning 
methods, with a keen eye on applications in other scientific domains as 
well as industry. Through various collaborations with clinicians, we 
have unique access to challenging real-world patient data, with the 
opportunity to make a tangible contribution to better patient care. This 
particular postdoc position is predominantly funded by the TOP ZonMW

Bloem (Radboudumc) and Prof. Anne Stiggelbout (Leiden University).

Successful applicants will have a (nearly completed) PhD in computer 
science, statistics, or a related discipline. A strong background in 
mathematics and programming (e.g. Python, R, Matlab), and experience 
with machine learning, pattern analysis, or advanced statistics are 
essential.

We offer a 2,5 year postdoc position, with competitive pay and excellent 
benefits, in a very friendly, interactive and international working 
environment, at the top computer science institute in the Netherlands.
