Postdoctoral Fellow in Theoretical Physics

Postdoctoral Fellow in Theoretical Physics

Stockholm University

Stockholm, Sweden

Project description

The candidate will work on problems at the intersection of mathematical statistics, machine learning, and generative modeling, particularly for sequential data arising in complex dynamical systems. The candidate is expected to carry out research and publish their findings in top conferences and journals, and help in the management of the group, as well as supervision of students on research projects. The position is meant to further the careers of early-career researchers who wish to pursue a career in academia. The job description may be changed during the contract period or upon contract renewal.

This position is part of the Wallenberg Initiative on Networks and Quantum Information (WINQ), supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation (KAW).

Main responsibilities

The position involves carrying out of research and other work in accordance with the themes of the research group under the direction of the PI.

Qualification requirements

Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.

Assessment criteria

The degree must have been completed at latest before the employment decision is made, but no more than three years before the closing date. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances. Special reasons refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.

In the appointment process, special attention will be given to candidates with strong research background in mathematical statistics and machine learning, particularly generative modeling and sequence modeling. Candidates who have demonstrated independent research and have published in top machine learning venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AISTATS, JMLR, TMLR, etc.) will be given priority.
