Job description

The successful candidate will be involved in cutting-edge research aimed at developing scalable sparse deep learning models that are not only powerful but also energy-efficient. This position offers the unique opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects, collaborate with world-renowned experts in the field, and publish in top-tier journals and conferences.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement scalable, energy-efficient deep learning algorithms.
  • Conduct rigorous experimental evaluations to benchmark the performance and energy efficiency of the developed models.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to apply these models to real-world problems in areas such as natural language processing, computer vision, and more.
  • Publish and present research findings in leading scientific journals (e.g., Machine Learning, JMLR) and conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, IJCAI, AAMAS, ECMLPKDD).
  • Contribute to the mentoring of graduate students and junior team members.

The Postdoctoral Researcher will be embedded in the DMB research group headed by Prof. dr. Maurice van Keulen and the supervision will be ensured by Dr. Elena Mocanu. This position is part of the Modular Integrated Sustainable Datacenter MISD project, and will have ample collaboration opportunities. As part of the MISD project effort led by Elena Mocanu, we are opening multiple positions (two Ph.D. candidates and one PostDoc) to join us and work at the interplay of dynamic sparse training in neural networks on various tasks.

Requirements

The ideal candidate we are looking for has:
  • A PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Computational Neuroscience, or a related field, with a strong background in deep learning.
  • Demonstrated experience in developing and optimizing deep learning models, with a focus on scalability and energy efficiency.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  • Strong publication record in reputable journals and conferences.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Conditions of employment

  • You will be appointed for a period of maximum 3 years full-time within a very stimulating scientific environment. The university offers a dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues.
  • Your salary and associated conditions are in accordance with the collective labour agreement for Dutch universities (CAO-NU);
  • Gross salary between € 3.877,- and € 5.090,- per month depending on experience and qualifications;

  • The flexibility to work (partially) from home;
  • Free access to sports facilities on campus
  • A minimum of 232 leave hours in case of full-time employment based on a formal workweek of 38 hours. A full-time employment in practice means 40 hours a week, therefore resulting in 96 extra leave hours on an annual basis.
  • Excellent support for research and facilities for professional and personal development.
  • We encourage a high degree of responsibility and independence, while collaborating with close colleagues, researchers and other university staff.
  • e are also a family-friendly institution that offers parental leave (both paid and unpaid) and career support for partners.

Department

Our DMB collective stands by its diversity, inclusivity, and interdisciplinary composition. We are doing research at the forefront of advancements in machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision to advance scientific knowledge and societal welfare in a large spectrum of data science applications. We disseminate our research findings through publications in leading conferences (such as NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, AAMAS, and CVPR) and prestigious journals (e.g. Nature Communications, Machine Learning, etc.).
