Dear Colleagues,

The Idiap Research Institute in Switzerland has two openings for 
Research Scientists - group leaders - in the general area of AI and 
machine learning.

* Research Scientist in Foundational Machine Learning
We seek a Research Scientist to conduct research in foundational machine 
learning, who would be interested in translating these advances into 
impactful solutions across application domains or data modalities (e.g. 
language, vision, audio, video, graphs, time-series). The position has a 
level of responsibility of an early career independent group leader.
