Postdoctoral Training Opportunity - Computer Science/Statistics/Applied Math - Machine Learning
The Northwestern University Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering (NAISE) is looking for a motivated and talented postdoctoral trainee to explore computer vision, artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML). Supervised learning approaches require a significant amount of “labeled data”. They seek a candidate to explore lots of CV/ML such as: 1) computer vision pre- and post- processing for ML, 2) computer vision- based approaches to assist in labeling, and/or 3) edge to HPC (approaches for movement of compute and data between the edge and HPC).
The successful candidate will be working in a diverse and multidisciplinary team as part of the Sage CyberInfrastructure project that aims to underpin the nation's science infrastructure with state-of-the-art edge computing and intelligence fabric.
Essential Skills
- Teamwork, the ability to work in large teams and tackle hard problems in a distributed version control environment
- Ability to work on interdisciplinary teams with domain scientists
- Computer science/applied math or statistics skills. Skills in advance analytical techniques such as ML/AI, computer vision, optimization. Either experience in or the ability to be able to learn (quickly) AI/ML frameworks such as Tensorflow or PyTorch
- Natural curiosity.
Desirable Skills
- Adherence to excellent coding practice: Self documenting code, testing, git, GitHub, CI platforms (Travis, appveyor etc).
- Skill in dockerizing applications, scheduling, kubernetes etc.
- Experience with HPC or cloud computing.
Interested candidates should send a CV and cover letter indicating the position for which they would like to be considered to Nicola Ferrier nferrier@anl.gov by December 1, 2020 to ensure consideration. They will continue to review applications until the position is filled.
