Senior Data Scientist / ML Researcher (Tenure Track)
Paul Scherrer Institut
Deadline: 2023-06-25 | Apply

Details As a Senior Data Scientist at the Swiss Data Science Center, you will use your expertise in machine learning, statistics, computer vision, natural language processing, or related fields to help domain experts working in earth and environmental science, physical and engineering sciences, biology, biotechnologies, personalized medicine and health, computational social science, economics, and more, to identify how to analyze or model their data, and to answer precise scientific questions or develop algorithms that perform automatically some challenging tasks. This involves exchanging actively and regularly with the domain experts to understand the precise desiderata of the project in domain science terms, translating it in data science terms, determining which approaches and formulations are most effective to achieve the desired goals, implement the corresponding algorithms, perform the evaluations hand-in-hand with the domain experts, and eventually release opensource code and write research papers in the domain science with the domains expertise, and contribute to the communication of the results.

Assistant Adjunct Professor
UC Berkeley
Deadline: 2023-03-15 | Apply

Details The School of Information at UC Berkeley welcomes applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track position at the Assistant Adjunct Professor level in the area of Data Engineering, Machine Learning and/or Natural Language Processing. This faculty member will teach in and be an integral part of the Master of Information and Data Science program and will conduct research in one of, or at the intersection of, data-driven engineering, machine learning, and natural language processing. Applicants must be up-to-date with and conversant in the latest methods and techniques.

Postdoc Opportunities

Research Software Engineer / Systems Architect
University of Pennsylvania
Deadline: 2023-12-31 | Apply

Details The Center for Particle Cosmology (CfPC) at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking applicants for a research software engineer and/or systems architect in scientific computing. We are interested in candidates with a keen interest in data-driven astrophysics and a strong background in software development.

Postdoctoral Positions
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Deadline: 2023-12-31 | Apply

Details The candidates will work with professor Moo K. Chung (www.stat.wisc.edu/~mchung) on developing new innovative computational methods in modeling large-scale dynamically changing graph and simplical complex data structures. Candidates should be familiar with one of areas: dynamical systems including time series, statistical physics (particularly Ising model related), signal and image analysis, network science, graph theory, algebraic topology, topological data analysis, partial differential equations (computational), artificial neural networks (ANN).

Flatiron Research Fellow
Center for Computational Neuroscience
Deadline: 2023-12-31 | Apply

Details The Center for Computational Neuroscience (CCN) invites applications for Flatiron Research Fellowships (FRFs - our designation for Postdoctoral Fellows) in the Connectomics project of CCN’s neural circuits and algorithms (NCA) group. The goal of the CCN NCA group is to understand how the brain analyzes large and complex datasets streamed by sensory organs in order to aid efforts at building artificial neural systems and treating mental illness. The Connectomics project of the NCA group, specifically, is focused on reconstruction the brain wiring diagram of the microscopic wasp utilizing automated high-throughput reconstruction software, results that are then verified by a team of research analysts who proofread and annotate the software’s work; using this method, the Connectomics project has assembled the largest connectome to date based on synapse count. While the current open position is in the neural circuits and algorithms group only, CCN scientists are encouraged to collaborate across research groups and the wider Flatiron Institute.
