University of Amsterdam

The Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics (KdVI) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) invites you to apply for a postdoc position in Mathematical Machine Learning for 13 months. You will carry out research within the framework of the VIDI Grant “Adaptive Online Machine Learning” of Tim van Erven. The starting date is flexible, but would ideally be around September 2022.

What are you going to do

You will be working with Tim van Erven to design and mathematically analyze new machine learning algorithms by proving new results in learning theory. The ambition is to publish at top-level international conferences and journals, like COLT, NeurIPS, the Journal of Machine Learning Research, etc.

Possible topics include

Adaptive Online Learning: Online learning deals with learning algorithms that process data sets sequentially, one data point at a time. Such algorithms play a key role in machine learning for very large data sets, for instance when training deep neural networks. The goal of this project is to develop new online learning algorithms and prove that they are optimal for multiple types of loss functions and under multiple different types of assumptions, without the need to manually tune any hyperparameters.

Mathematical Formalization and Analysis of Explainability Methods: Recently there has been much interest in generating explanations that clarify and communicate how machine learning methods make their decisions. But none of the existing methods gives any formal mathematical guarantees on how well they can be expected to work and under which conditions their explanations can be trusted. The goal of this project is to formalize explainability and to design new methods with provable guarantees.

For a small part of your appointment (around 10%) you will be involved in teaching (in English). You will also assist with supervising PhD students. A travel budget will be provided to attend conferences and present relevant publications.

What do we require

1. A PhD in Mathematics, Computer Science, AI or related area.

2. Research experience in learning theory, as witnessed by publications with mathematical proofs at COLT, NeurIPS, ICML or in JMLR or Machine Learning.

3. Fluency in English, both written and spoken.

4. Experience in teaching is a plus.

CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

Fixed-term contract: 13 months.

A temporary contract for 38 hours a week for the duration of 13 months. The start date is flexible. The job profile Researcher level 4 is applicable. The salary will be €2,836 tot €4,474 gross per month, based on a fulltime contract (38 hours a week). This is exclusive 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus. A favourable tax agreement, the ‘30% ruling’, may apply to non-Dutch applicants. The Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities is applicable.
