The new department of Computing Sciences, created four years ago and in a
phase of rapid expansion, is an interdisciplinary department with leading
international researchers in various fields including Theoretical Computer
Science, Machine Learning Theory, Statistical Physics Modeling, Natural
Language Processing, Computational Neuroscience, Computer Vision, as well as
biomedical applications. In terms of teaching, the department has recently
opened a bachelor in AI, a master in AI, and is strongly involved in the PhD
program in Statistics and Computer Science. It has a strong core in 
theory and
applied CS, and aims at broadening its portfolio, in particular towards
applications of machine learning not yet currently represented. We are 
looking for
outstanding candidates, curious and open to collaborations with 
colleagues from
other fields.
