Postdoctoral Fellow
Institute for Foundations of Data Science at UW-Madison

The Institute for Foundations of Data Science at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison (IFDS at UW-Madison) is seeking applicants for one or
two postdoctoral positions.

IFDS at UW-Madison (https://ifds.wisc.edu/) operates in partnership with
groups at the University of Washington, the University of California
at Santa Cruz, and the University of Chicago, and is supported by the
NSF TRIPODS program. It brings together researchers at the interface
of mathematics, statistics, and theoretical computer science, and aims
to epitomize the possibilities of the collaborative approach to
investigating fundamental issues in data science.

Successful candidates will conduct research with members of the IFDS,
both at UW-Madison and its partner sites, and will be based at the
Wisconsin Institute of Discovery at UW-Madison
(https://wid.wisc.edu/). A unique benefit of this position is the rich
set of collaborative opportunities available, allowing truly
interdisciplinary training. Initial appointment is for one year, with
the possibility of renewal. Travel funds will be provided.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in computer science, statistics,
mathematics, engineering or a related field, with expertise in data
science. Additional desirable qualities include the ability to work
effectively both independently and in a team, good communication
skills; and a record of interdisciplinary collaborations. Preference
will be given to candidates with partial funding from other sources
(e.g. through a current faculty member of IFDS or an affiliated
department), although all qualified applicants will be considered.

The University of Wisconsin is an Affirmative Action, Equal
Opportunity Employer and applications are strongly encouraged from
women and underrepresented groups.

Interested applicants should submit a statement of research interests,
CV, and contact information for three references. Review is ongoing,
and the positions will remain open until filled. To apply or for
questions regarding the position, please contact Prof. Steve Wright at
swright at cs.wisc.edu.
