Description
This is a two year position with a possibility to extension with one year if additional external funding is received.

The recruited person will be expected to teach up to 20% and do research at least 80%, within one or several scientific projects. Research activities will depend on competences and interests, but are expected to build upon our existing portfolio.

The recruited person will carry out research, both independently and in collaboration with other members of the CAISR research group, across a variety of cutting-edge AI/ML topics, including representation learning, meta-learning transfer learning, multi-task, self-supervised and weakly-supervised learning, anomaly detection, and more. An example is jointly learning data representations that are useful for multiple tasks, allowing for autonomous adaptation to a specific task.

AI and machine learning is an important part of our education. The recruited person will have an opportunity to advance Bachelor and Master level courses such as Artificial Intelligence, Learning Systems, Data Mining, Applied Data Mining, and Deep Learning. The person will also be involved in the Graduate professional development program (second-cycle courses targeted at the business sector). Finally, the recruited person is expected to participate in supervision of thesis projects for bachelor and master level students.

Principal duties
The duties will be:

- To undertake machine learning research and application development within the project
- To contribute to academic publications and conference papers (where appropriate leading on these)
- To contribute to report writing

Qualifications
The applicant must hold a doctoral degree in Artificial Intelligence/Data Mining/Machine Learning/Information Technology or related fields. The applicant needs to demonstrate a strong research profile in the fields related to topics of interest for this position, including recent activities with high impact. The scientific production is expected to be published in high-quality, peer-reviewed research journals and conferences. Documented experience from innovation, research and development in an industrial environment is also a strong merit. The applicant should share the value that diversity and equality among researchers and teachers brings higher quality to research and education. Appointment to a post-doctoral position requires that the applicant has a PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position. The certificate proving the qualification requirement is met, must be received before the employment decision is made. Primarily should those who have graduated no more than three years ago before last application date, be considered.

For appointment as a postdoctoral researcher, the following assessment criteria will be applied:

- Ability to conduct research of high international quality in artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning
- Ability to conduct research independently
- Documented experience from research in collaboration with industrial partners and/or interdisciplinary teams
- Ability to conduct high-quality teaching and to develop courses at different levels
- Experience in supervision of master / PhD students
