The Computer Science & Engineering department, which is a joint department of Göteborgs Universitet and Chalmers, in Gothenburg, Sweden with over 240 employees is undergoing an expansion in data science and related areas to complement existing strengths in CS and CE. A new Master’s program in applied data science is starting in 2017.
We are hiring an Associate Professor in Machine Learning at Chalmers. The application deadline is December 15. http://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/vacancies/Pages/default.aspx?rmpage=job&rmjob=4334 The CSE department and Chalmers and GU provide a very collegial, collaborative environment and access to well-educated students at the Bachelor and Masters level. Both in Bachelor and Masters programs a research-oriented thesis is mandatory and many students are interested in ML and data science projects. Frequently, theses are joint projects with industry. There is excellent support for entrepreneurial activities with a lot of industry (e.g. Volvo, Astra Zeneca) and startups (e.g. Spotify’s data science and ML activities) in the area. Note that in Sweden faculty owns IP, which drastically changes the equation for commercialization of research. Gothenburg is Sweden’s second-largest city, cosmopolitan, and culturally diverse with a rich history. It is located on Sweden's West coast. Sweden offers an excellent standard of living in particular with respect to universal health care, free education, public child care and public infrastructure. Achieving a healthy work-life balance and family friendly policies, such as internationally leading, very generous, paid paternity and maternity leave, are a national point of pride. We would like to encourage applications from excellent assistant professors and more senior colleagues.
