Subject: 	[DMANET] 2 PhD positions in KTH on Data Science
Date: 	Tue, 20 Oct 2020 20:24:13 +0000
From: 	Aristides Gionis <argioni at kth.se>
To: 	dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de <dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de>



We are looking for two highly-qualified and motivated individuals to 
pursue a PhD in the area of data science. The prospect PhD students will 
join a research team in KTH led by professor Aristides Gionis 
(https://www.kth.se/profile/argioni/). The research team focuses on 
developing novel methods to extract knowledge from data, modeling 
large-scale complex systems, and exploring new application areas in data 
science. Emphasis is given in the areas of graph mining, social-network 
analysis, modeling of information networks and social-network dynamics, 
as well as in emerging domains, such as interpretable AI. The work 
combines foundational research in algorithms with development of novel 
applications.

The advertised positions are funded 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, and by the H2020 European project SoBigData++, 
which aims at using big data analysis to understand complex social 
phenomena.

Successful applicants should have completed successfully, or expected to 
complete, a Master of Science degree, and have strong background in 
algorithmic design, data mining, machine learning, and combinatorial 
optimization. Applicants are required to have strong implementation 
skills and experience with managing large-scale data. Doctoral students 
are expected to be able to publish high-quality papers and develop 
research prototypes.

Application deadline: Oct 29, 2020
