As a member of FODSI (Foundations of Data Science Institute -- an NSF funded institute with the aim of advancing theoretical foundations for data science), I'm self-interestedly posting the call for postdocs for this year. Two of the areas are a) Sketching, Sampling, and Sublinear-Time Algorithms and b) Machine Learning for Algorithms (which includes what I call "Algorithms with Predictions.") I'd be happy to see postdoc applications in those areas from people who want to spend some time at Harvard, for example.... but of course there are lots of other exciting things going on with FODSI too and you should take a look.
The call is at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/20132
Call text below:
| The Foundations of Data Science Institute (FODSI), funded by the National Science Foundation TRIPODS program, is announcing a competitive postdoctoral fellowship. FODSI is a collaboration between UC Berkeley and MIT, partnering with Boston University, Northeastern University, Harvard University, Howard University and Bryn Mawr College. It provides a structured environment for exploring interdisciplinary research in foundations of Data Science spanning Mathematics, Statistics, Theoretical Computer Science and other fields. We are looking for multiple postdoctoral team members who will collaborate with FODSI researchers at one or more of the participating institutions. These positions emphasize strong mentorship, flexibility, and breadth of collaboration opportunities with other team members -- senior and junior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students at various nodes around the country. Furthermore, postdoctoral fellows will be able to participate in workshops and other activities organized by FODSI. The fellowship is a one-year full-time appointment, with the possibility of renewal for a second year (based upon mutual agreement) either at the same or at another FODSI institution. The start date is flexible, although most appointments are expected to start in summer 2022. Candidates are encouraged to apply to work with more than one faculty mentor at one or more participating institutions (in-person mentoring is preferred, but remote options will be also considered). The applicants should have an excellent theoretical background and a doctorate in a related field, including Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Economics. We particularly encourage applications from women and minority candidates. The review process will start on November 15, 2021 and will continue until positions are filled. |
