10 PhD Positions in Machine Learning / Deep Learning, Hochreiter Group,
Linz, Austria
Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU), Austria, is looking for research
assistants and junior researchers in the area of machine learning and
deep learning with Sepp Hochreiter. These fully-funded positions will be
affiliated with the LIT AI Lab and the Institute for Machine Learning
andCandidates are expected to enroll into JKU’s PhD programme, and have
to option to complete their PhD under Sepp Hochreiter’s supervision.
Job description:
• conduct research in machine learning / deep learning with the aim
to obtain a PhD within four years,
• publish in renowned international journals and conferences,
• work in research projects at the LIT AI Lab or in collaboration
with partners.
Requirements:
• MSc degree or equivalent,
• strong interest and previous education in machine learning (e.g.
deep learning, reinforcement learning, kernel methods, probabilistic
modeling, meta-learning, attention models); a track record in the field
is a plus (e.g. MSc thesis, publications, project experience),
• knowledge in one or more of the following application domains is a
plus: signal processing, vision, speech, natural language processing,
physics, bio-/chemoinformatics, computational medicine, autonomous driving.
About the group: Within the last years, Sepp Hochreiter (who is best
known for the invention of LSTM, for the Vanishing Gradient problem,
“Flat Minima”, and “Learning to Learn”) has built up a dynamic team of
more than20 researchers. The group has recently achieved widely
acclaimed contributions and successes, such as, winning the NIH’s Tox21
toxicity prediction challenge with deep learning, the invention of the
ELU activation function, Self-Normalizing Networks, and providing a
convergence proof for GAN learning. The group has many international
collaborations and receives funding from national and international
research programs (like the EU) as well as from companies, such as,
Johnson&Johnson, Merck, Bayer, Zalando and from joined labs like the
Audi.JKU Deep Learning Center.
About the location: The area offers an excellent quality of living in
the heart of Europe – close to the alps between Vienna, Salzburg, Prague
and Munich. Linz provides a superb cultural environment, most famous for
the Ars Electronica Festival, the Brucknerfest, and the nearby Salzburg
Festival. The picturesque and versatile landscape provides countless
options for recreation and sports in nature (skiing, hiking, climbing,
cycling, and many more).
