Connectionists: Multiple PhD positions in deep learning for neuroscience and NLP at Idiap (Switzerland)

[James Henderson]

The Idiap Research Institute seeks qualified candidates for three PhD 
student positions in deep learning for natural language, one focussing 
on neuroscience and two focussing on representation learning.  These 
researchers will work with Dr. James Henderson 
<https://www.idiap.ch/~jhenderson/> in the Natural Language 
Understanding group 
<https://www.idiap.ch/en/scientific-research/natural-language-understanding>.

Idiap offers competitive salaries, a beautiful location, and a 
world-class AI research community.  PhD students are registered at 
EPFL.  The researcher in deep learning and the neuroscience of language 
will work also in collaboration with Dr. Itsaso Olasagasti of Univ. 
Geneva's Fundamental Neuroscience Dept and Dr. Phil Garner of Idiap, and 
will benefit from visits to Campus Biotech in Geneva. This position is 
part of the Swiss center of excellence (NCCR) project: Evolving 
Language.  The two researchers in representation learning for NLP will 
be part of a Swiss NSF project building on our recent Bayesian extension 
of Transformers.

The ideal PhD candidates should hold a Masters degree in computer 
science, artificial intelligence, computational neuroscience, or related 
fields. She or he should have a background in machine learning, and 
experience in natural language processing or computational neuroscience 
would be a plus. The applicant should also have strong mathematical and 
programming skills.

Please apply on the Idiap jobs site at https://www.idiap.ch/en/careers 
<https://www.idiap.ch/en/careers>. All questions related to these 
positions should be sent to Dr. James Henderson (james.henderson at idiap.ch).
