Postdoctoral position in Large scale machine learning at Laboratory of Computational and Statistical Learning (IIT-MIT)

Country/Region : Italy

Website : https://www.iit.it/it

Description

The Laboratory of Computational and Statistical Learning (LCSL),a joint IIT-MIT Machine Learning Lab (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia & Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is opening 1 postdoc position.
The project related to the position deals with large-scale optimization for machine learning. In particular, the goal of the project is the development of randomized and online computational solutions that allow to scale to large, high dimensional datasets and are stable with respect to stochastic perturbations of data, while working with limited computational resources.
Candidates to this position have a Ph.D. in machine learning, optimization, or related areas. Research experience and qualification in machine learning/optimization are clearly a must and evidence of top quality research on the above specified areas in the form of published papers in top conferences/journals is mandatory.
Experience in the preparation and management of research proposals (EU, US, national) and a few years of postdoc experience, either in academia or industrial lab, will also be duly considered.
The scientist is expected to publish his/her research results in leading international journals and conferences. She/he is also expected to contribute to the set-up of new project proposals, participate in funding activities, supervising PhD candidates and collaborate with other scientists, also with different (neuroscience) expertise.
Salary will be commensurate to qualifications and experience and in line with international standards.
Workplace: Genova, Italy.
Please send your completed application forms along with a curriculum listing all publications (possibly including a pdf of your most representative publications), and a research statement describing your previous research experience and outlining its relevance to the above topics by email to applications-AT-iit.it, quoting “Post doc MIT BC 71730” in the mail subject.
