LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY (LiU) hereby advertises a position as Research fellow/Assistant professor in Optimization for Machine Learning at the Division of Optimization of the Department of Mathematics. The application deadline is December 9, 2019. Starting date: by agreement.

The major task for this position is fundamental research in the area of mathematical optimization theory and novel techniques for machine learning. Examples of research topics are: sparse optimization, saddle point search, multi-objective learning, and stochastic quasi-Newton methods. Although the expertise should primarily be in optimization, the applicant should ideally also have experience in machine learning. Duties include research, teaching, supervision and some administrative duties. The position is for 5 years, of which 80% is for research and 20% for pedagogical qualification/teaching.
