Call for Expressions of Interest, associate professor of Data
Science
The Department of Software Science
(https://taltech.ee/en/department-of-software-science) at the School
of Information Technologies of Tallinn University of Technology
(Taltech) invites expressions of interest for a tenured Associate
Professor in Machine Learning in Data Science.
Responsibilities include research and teaching, as well as the
promotion of early-career scientists. The aim of the position is
strengthening both the synergy and quality of the current research of
Taltech in the area of data science, while significantly enhancing the
capabilities of Taltech to cooperate with Estonian industry and public
sphere by joint work, consultations and education. The emphasis is on
increasing the capacity and competence in machine learning for data
science, in a close cooperation with our existing groups.
We welcome candidates owning a PhD in Computer Science or related areas
who are interested in joining an internationally renowned research
environment in Estonia. A strong experience in teaching both
undergraduate and graduate level is appreciated. Substantial research
experience track record of conducting experiment-oriented data science
research, strong knowledge of machine learning techniques and deep
learning applications are expected, proven by top tire journal and
conference publications (eg publishing in venues such as NIPS/NeurIPS,
ICML, KDD, ECML/PKDD, ECAI/IJCAI and/or AAAI conferences and/or in the
journals such as: Machine Learning, IEEE Transactions of Knowledge and
Data Engineering, Neurocomputing, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery).
We value a proven ability to gain and lead cooperative research
projects and to attract funding such as from the European research
funding schemes.
The position is partially supported by a recently started project
"Smarter use of data via machine learning" and has close ties to the
Estonian Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence (EXAI),
composed of groups from Taltech, Tartu University and AS Cybernetica.
There is an additional funding for a postdoc position and at least two
PhD positions available with the possibility to build up a separate
research group.
We are the leading university of technology in Estonia, providing
excellent working conditions in a lively scientific community. Estonia
ranks as the number one country per number of startups, unicorns, and
VC investments in Europe per capita, and Tallinn hosts most of the
Estonia's active start-up ecosystem. Since we have close connections
to the government agencies, there is a good chance of making a
significant impact to the rapid development of data economy in Estonia.
Our HPC centre is developing rapidly, provides local resources for
experimentation and additionally access to the resources of the LUMI
supercomputer (https://lumi-supercomputer.eu/).
For further information and expressions of interest, please send an
email by July 31 to:
ds-eoi@groups.taltech.ee .
Please include a short CV containing education record, current and
previous appointments, research interests and achievements, and a
publication list. We also ask to highlight maximum 5 best publications.
