</span><span><br>
</span><span><strong>Postdoctoral Researcher in Artificial
Intelligence / Machine Learning Engineering [Academic
Research Software Engineer]<span><br>
</span><span><br>
</span></strong></span>to a postdoctoral-level position.
The desired start dates would be as soon as possible in 2025.<span><br>
</span><span><br>
</span>Are you more of a programmer than your researcher
colleagues? Are you more of a researcher than commercial
developers? Do you want a career that involves research and
science but isn't the academic tenure track? The Academic
Research Software Engineer position is your next step on that
path.<span><br>
</span><span><br>
</span>This position will be similar to a postdoc, but with an
emphasis on research infrastructure and technology rather than
preparation for an academic career path. You will be involved
in research, but more focused on learning and improving how
computing, workflows, and data are used in research than
finding your own novel research results and publishing them.<span><br>
</span><span><br>
</span>You will work in a research group and be affiliated
with<span class="white-space-pre"> </span><a class="NnVeUBLeYkojoTFunqrMWBIUoyvJEONsslMc " target="_blank" tabindex="0" href="https://scicomp.aalto.fi/about/" data-test-app-aware-link="">Aalto Scientific Computing</a><span class="white-space-pre"> </span>(ASC). You'll serve as an
intermediary between the two. Compared to the staff of ASC,
you will be directly based in a research group, much more
involved in day-to-day research, follow projects for a much
longer period, and more involved in publications. Compared to
a typical academic position, you will have a joint affiliation
with ASC and get extra training in research engineering. There
will be less emphasis on novel results for the sake of
novelty, and more on applying and developing best practices in
the way the research is done.<span><br>
</span><span><br>
</span><span><strong>In this position, you will:<span><br>
</span><span><br>
</span></strong></span><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>Serve as the local research software engineer for your
research group(s) and improve the use of computing among all
group members.</li>
<li>Stay up to date with the latest HPC, AI, and general
computing/data management practices, evaluate latest
developments, and implement whatever is most suitable.</li>
<li>Possibility to take part in publications as a research
engineer.</li>
<li>Provide one-on-one and group research support from a
software, programming, Linux, data, and infrastructure
perspective: short-term projects helping researchers with
specific tasks, so that the researchers gain competence to
work independently.</li>
<li>Provide good role models of best open science practices.</li>
<li>As needed and depending on interest, teaching and other
research infrastructure support.<span><br>

<span><strong>General qualifications</strong></span>: As
expected for a computational-science postdoc or doctoral student
position in your field, with a special focus on high-quality
computation and data management<span><br>
</span><span><br>
</span><span><strong>This particular call emphasizes general AI
skills and interest to take part in MLOps, including (but
not limited to) performance tracing for improved
scalability, energy efficiency and fault tolerance in ML
training / inference. We seek to improve our AI and machine
learning work by bringing in tools to assist in training and
inference, integrated with our cluster. You don't need
special knowledge already when applying - general knowledge
of machine learning practices is enough, and you'll learn
more later.<span><br>
