Research into the theoretical foundations of AI has never been more important, given the transformative impact AI technologies have on the world. This position is intended to focus on the fundamental understanding of deep neural networks, how and why these generalize, the power and limitations of generative AI, and related foundational issues in modern AI-grounded in rigorous statistical, probabilistic, and optimisation techniques. As an Assistant Professor in this field, you will be at the forefront of deciphering the inner workings of AI algorithms, contributing to our understanding of these powerful tools and shaping their development.
We are seeking candidates with a deep commitment to excellence in teaching and research, as well as demonstrated potential for outstanding scholarship. Your area of research lies within mathematical foundations of AI centered in theoretical computer science. As an Assistant Professor, you will develop and lead an active research program, supervise doctoral students, and teach and mentor at all levels within the department's educational programs. We expect you to engage in academic collaborations, forge strong connections both nationally and internationally, and attract and secure research funding from national and international funding agencies. Valuing collegiality, we envision you as an active and inspiring contributor to a thriving and diverse academic environment.
About the position
The Assistant Professor position is research focused, involving around 20 percent of teaching duties. A generous start-up package accompanies the appointment, providing funding for the recruitment of a research group.
The position is part of the program on mathematics for artificial intelligence within the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) - Sweden's largest individual research program ever and a significant national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education, and faculty recruitment. As a member of the WASP Faculty, you will join an esteemed network of researchers in Sweden.
The position is hosted by the Data Science and AI division, one of four academic divisions in the department. The other divisions are Computer and Network Systems, Computing Science, and Interaction Design and Software Engineering.
