Connectionists: Post-Doc on Machine Learning for COVID-19 data analysis

[Georgios Exarchakis]

Post-Doc on Machine Learning for COVID-19 pandemic analysis
<https://exarchakis.net/post/post-doctoral-researcher-position/>

Keywords: Machine Learning on Graphs, Geographic Information Systems,
COVID-19

Profile: Doctoral degree in ML for Graphs or a related topic

Institute: IHU Strasbourg

Location: Strasbourg, France

Supervisor: Dr Georgios Exarchakis

Application Deadline: 04 April 2021

We offer a post-doc position
<https://exarchakis.net/post/post-doctoral-researcher-position/> attached
to the CAMMA team <http://camma.u-strasbg.fr/> at IHU Strasbourg for
motivated researchers interested in developing state of the art Machine
Learning algorithms for monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. The Institute
provides a multi-disciplinary environment where clinicians collaborate with
engineers to provide real-world medical solutions. The intended project
considers managing geographic data, at a neighborhood level resolution, in
Graph format to identify regions of interest in the COVID-19 spread
patterns. An analysis of the dynamics of the spread will also be considered
to provide insights on the evolution of the pandemic. The post-doc will be
expected to perform data sanity checks, to design and apply a  bottom-up
Machine Learning analysis for the geographic structure of the pandemic, and
to apply state of the art Deep Learning algorithms for the analysis and
prediction of the evolution of the pandemic.

An ideal applicant will have a strong background in Machine Learning with a
particular emphasis on Graph based algorithms. Experience with Geographic
Information Systems will also be highly considered.  Experience in the
Python programming language with at least one of the popular ML libraries,
e.g. Pytorch, TensorFlow. The successful candidate is expected to have high
quality publications in leading journals in their field.

Working conditions and remuneration are negotiable and will depend on the
profile of the candidate. The project will be supervised by Dr. Georgios
Exarchakis <https://exarchakis.net> in close collaboration with  Prof.
Benoît Gallix, and Prof. Nicolas Padoy <http://camma.u-strasbg.fr/npadoy>.

For further information on the application please contact Dr Georgios
Exarchakis <https://exarchakis.net/> at
georgios.exarchakis at ihu-strasbourg.eu with “COVID-19 Post-Doc” as the email
title. For applications, please provide your CV, copies of your academic
degrees, and a cover letter detailing your interest in the position.
