The Machine Learning (ML) group led by Professor Ricardo Henao at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) has multiple openings for Postdoctoral level positions to conduct research in the field of machine learning, more specifically, deep learning and representation learning architectures. Application areas of ML include, but are not limited to, computer vision, natural language processing, computational biology and healthcare.
Our group focuses on important and fundamental open problems in machine learning research and challenging applications in diverse fields (e.g., biology and healthcare) where deep learning architectures, hierarchical learning models and representation learning can be truly impactful. The group strives to publish in top-tier ML venues such as NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, AISTATS, CVPR, ICCV, ACL, EMNLP, etc. Our group is embedded in the BESE (Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering) division, which supports and promotes a rich multi-disciplinary work environment. We are looking for like-minded scientists who are passionate about ML methodology and/or its potentially transformative applications in research and industry.
The positions are fully funded and for postdocs, initially available for up to three years with the possibility of renewal.
