The Intelligent Systems Laboratory Amsterdam, part of the Informatics Institute at the University of Amsterdam is seeking an
Assistant Professor in Cooperative Machine Learning (tenuered position)
vacancy number 06-1040
and a
Postdoctoral Researcher in Distributed Intelligence
vacancy
number 06-1042The Intelligent Systems Lab Amsterdam (ISLA) conducts research in sensory and text information processing and autonomous systems. It performs both theoretical and applied research. Machine learning is at the core of many intelligent systems. The emphasis at ISLA is on cooperative machine learning in such areas as surveillance by cameras and other distributed sensors, and interaction and monitoring in health care and in sensor networks. ISLA has an outstanding group in these areas and collaborates with national and international research institutes and companies.
============================================================
Assistant Professor in Cooperative Machine Learning (tenuered position)
The appointee will participate in an internationally competitive research programme. He or she will be expected to help with the administration and with the acquisition of funding, and to participate in the teaching of Bachelors and Masters students. We are looking for someone who has a strong theoretical background but is oriented towards applied research in machine learning in such areas as agent technologies, distributed multimedia processing, or sensor networks in a real-world setting.
Candidates must have:
a PhD
postdoctoral research experience
published research in relevant journals and for relevant conferences
proven educational experience in computer science, informatics or AI, including the supervision of graduate students
the social skills required to perform in a dynamic team
mastery of both the Dutch and the English language or the ability to achieve such within two years (the UvA provides language courses).
Experience with the acquisition and management of research projects (including the supervision of PhD students) is a plus.
============================================================
Postdoctoral Researcher in Distributed Intelligence
The appointee we are looking for has a strong, theoretically well-founded background in probabilistic models, machine learning or sensor networks in real-world settings. The appointee will be expected to cooperate in the Interactive Collaborative Information Systems (ICIS) research project at the DECIS Lab, which is an open research partnership between Thales Nederland, TNO, the UvA and Delft University of Technology (see http://www.decis.nl).
The ICIS project combines human sciences and information & communication technologies in a quest to shape human cognition and artificial intelligence into collaborative decision-making in chaotic environments. In such settings, situation awareness is indispensable as situations must be inferred from large sets of observations and critical events must be predicted. In this context, the research focuses on approaches to distributed modelling with Bayesian networks, which can support efficient and robust situation awareness.
Candidates must have:
Written a PhD thesis on a topic relevant to this position
Evidence of experience in research by publications at relevant conferences and journals
Sufficient social skills to perform optimally in a dynamic scientific team
Willingness to take part in organizational tasks.
The appointee will be required to attend regular project meetings at the DECIS lab in Delft.
