Dear Colleagues,

The Institute for Data, Econometrics, Algorithms, and Learning (IDEAL) 
invites applications for two postdoctoral fellowships starting Fall of 
2020, to conduct inter-disciplinary research that focuses on the 
theoretical foundations of data science. One fellowship is based at the 
Toyota Technology Institute at Chicago (TTIC) and one fellowship is 
based at Northwestern University.

About IDEAL: The Institute for Data, Econometrics, Algorithms, and 
Learning (IDEAL) is a multi-discipline (computer science, statistics, 
economics, electrical engineering, and operations research) and 
multi-institution (Northwestern University, Toyota Technological 
Institute at Chicago, and University of Chicago) collaborative institute 
funded by the NSF TRIPODS program, that focuses on key aspects of the 
theoretical foundations of data science. The institute will support the 
study of foundational problems related to machine learning, 
high-dimensional data analysis and optimization in both strategic and 
non-strategic environments.   Further details: 
https://www.ideal.northwestern.edu/ .

Candidates will be expected to spend at least one day a week at the 
other campus. Ideal candidates will have interests in several of the 
special quarters that will be run from Fall 2020 to Spring 2022 (please 
see https://www.ideal.northwestern.edu/ for details). By default, 
applicants will be considered for both postdoctoral positions. If you 
have a strong preference for one of the participating institutions, 
please specify in your cover letter. We encourage candidates to send 
applications as soon as possible.

Appointments begin Fall 2020 quarter. Applications received by February 
22nd, 2020 will be given full consideration.
