A successful candidate will (a) perform independent research in the mathematical foundations of artificial intelligence with emphasis on uncertainty quantification of machine learning inference, (b) study and apply techniques from differential geometry and active subspaces to the analysis of results of large-scale simulations or measured data, (c) collaborate with NIST researchers to develop models and computational solutions supporting innovations in measurement of physical quantities, communication technologies, and material science, and (d) write research reports and make presentations at conferences and workshops. Applicants will be expected to have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent experience. NIST is a Federal measurement science and engineering laboratory with state-of-the-art research facilities and excellent benefits. For information on what it's like to work at NIST, see https://www.nist.gov/careers/working- nist. US citizenship is required. NIST is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Interested parties should contact Andrew Dienstfrey ([log in to unmask]) and Timothy Burns ([log in to unmask]). ------------------------------------------------------- From: Nick Polydorides [log in to unmask] Date: May 03, 2021 Subject: Postdoc Position, Data Science for Assisted Living Care We welcome applications to fill a postdoctoral position on statistical data processing in assisted living technologies from candidates with scientific computing, applied mathematics or computational statistics background. The post entails primarily independent research work but also some collaboration with other researchers from the New Technologies of Care Centre, a joint venture of the Schools of Engineering, Informatics, and Medicine. You will contribute to the research, analysis and development of randomised sketching algorithms for streaming sensor data in the context of online model learning. The goal of the project is to identify structure in streaming data from various sensors and capture it in a "data sketch", a low-dimensional structure that preserves the main features of the original data with respect to a given computational task. This utility is necessary to enable online model learning from data captured over prolonged periods of times e.g. months and years as in the setting of assisted living. In this paradigm, model learning and decision making have to be done at the edge, according to privacy rules, and it is thus imperative that these computations are kept tractable whilst streaming data accumulate to prohibitively-large dimensions. The post holder is expected to work closely with the PI to design the sketching algorithms subject to different specifications (memory, speed and complexity constraints), and analyse their performance theoretically, computationally and with real data. The initial appointment is for 18 months but there is a high likelihood of extension subject to performance.
