Connectionists: Two postdoc positions available at Institute of Statistical Mathematics (Tokyo)

[Kenji Fukumizu]

Dear Connectionists,


The Research Center for Statistical Machine Learning at the Institute of 
Statistical Mathematics (in Tokyo) is looking for two postdoctoral 
researchers, who are expected to work in some projects on machine 
learning and statistics, collaborating with other project members.


(1) One of the positions is funded by the Institute of Statistical 
Mathematics, and a researcher is expected to work with Prof. Kenji 
Fukumizu and other colleagues on machine learning projects. Research 
topics include kernel methods, deep learning, Bayesian inference, and 
combinations of these approaches, but are not limited to them. The 
contract is fiscal-year based with competitive salary, and can be 
extended up to four years if both sides agree.


(2) The other is funded by JST CREST Project, "Topological data analysis 
for new descriptors on soft matters", and focusing on machine learning 
and statistical topics related to topological data analysis (TDA).A 
researcher is expected work in collaborations with some of other project 
members, who are working in aspects of TDA including mathematics, 
probability, statistics, and applications. The contract is fiscal-year 
based with competitive salary, and the position is up to the end of 
March 2021.
