Offer Description
Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) now offers a new fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor. The fellowship aims at external international scientists who are currently conducting research abroad. Applicants must have completed their PhD within the last seven years. The fellowship aims at authors (co-authors) of three or more publications in a journal with IF.
The postdoc is expected to advance the state of the art in algorithms that use HPC hardware for fast training of models on large datasets. The postdoc is expected to program distributed and shared memory algorithms, as well as use the new IPU technology. These algorithms will be applied to a range of applications ranging from machine learning for public health to quantum control.
The lab fosters a welcoming and stimulating environment, and comprises of approximately 15 people of mixed nationalities and genders, mostly consisting of PhD students and postdocs. English serves as the primary working language. A substantial portion of the total salaries are comprised of performance-related bonuses, which augment the quoted base pay.
