We are looking for 1-3 postdoctoral researchers in the broad area of 
foundations of data science. Topics of interest include but are not 
limited to models and algorithms for knowledge discovery, novel methods 
for big data management, analysis of information networks and social 
networks, fairness, accountability, and transparency in learning 
systems. Applicants must have a strong interest in the development of 
the underlying theory, applications, and methods to distill knowledge 
from large complex datasets.

The advertised positions are funded by Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems 
and Software Program (WASP), Sweden's largest individual research 
program, and by the European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant 
REBOUND, which aims to study the phenomena of polarization and echo 
chambers in online media, and develop methods to mitigate these 
phenomena. Funding is also provided by the H2020 European project 
SoBigData++.

Successful candidates are expected to hold a PhD degree from a reputed 
institution. They are expected to have vision, ambition, and passion for 
research, and a strong publication track record in top conferences and 
journals in data science, machine learning, and/or artificial 
intelligence. They should be eager to co-supervise PhD and MS student 
projects.

Application deadline: March 13
