København Ø
The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship in high-performance computing for machine learning commencing 1 June 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Description of the scientific environment
The PhD student will be part of a strong team with expertise in language and compiler support for high-performance computing and machine learning at DIKU, which publishes results in top tier venues in the field of computer science such as KDD, ICML, PLDI, PPoPP, ICFP, VLDB, or SIGMOD.
Project description
The remote sensing field witnesses an explosion in the amount of available data, with petabytes of data being gathered by single satellites every year. Such data allow the identification of fine details in the landscape and the recent breakthroughs in machine learning facilitate application areas such as agricultural monitoring, infrastructure management, mapping forest development, and many others. Applying machine learning models on a global scale can become extremely time-consuming with analyses potentially taking weeks, months, or even years.
This project aims at the development of language and compiler technology for highly-efficient parallel implementations for machine learning methods that allow to detect and monitor “changes” visible in time series satellite data—efficiently and at low cost. This interdisciplinary project will be conducted at the Department of Computer Science (DIKU, University of Copenhagen), in close collaboration with researchers from the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN, University of Copenhagen), with domain experts from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), and with international partners from the Wageningen University (Netherlands).

Formal requirements
Applicants should hold an MSc degree in Computer Science/Mathematics/Physics with good results and good English skills. As criteria for the assessment of your qualifications emphasis will also be laid on previous publications (if any) and relevant work experience in machine learning and/or high-performance computing, including language and compiler support for it.
Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
The starting salary is currently at a minimum DKK 328.355 (approx. €43,750) including annual supplement (+ pension at a minimum DKK 53,360). Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
Integrated MSc and PhD Scheme
The position is also available for candidates who are (or are eligible to be) enrolled at one of the faculty’s master programmes in Computer Science/Mathematics/Physics. The duration of the integrated programme depends on the amount of credits that you have passed on your MSc programme. For further information about the study programme please see: www.science.ku.dk/phd, “Study Structures”.
Scholarship and terms of employmentfor integrated MSc and PhD
PhD grant portions (Ph.D.‐SU klip)
In the period up to the completion of the MSc programme (up to three years), the student is entitled to so-called PhD grant portions. The grant portions are financed by the grant donor but not by the Danish State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme Agency (as is the case for the ordinary study grant portions on the BSc and MSc programmes). They are called PhD grant portions because this kind of remuneration is regulated and described in the Executive Order on the State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme in Denmark (SU‐bekendtgørelsen), and because the value of a PhD grant portion corresponds to the value of an ordinary Danish study grant portion. Students are awarded 48 PhD grant portions during the period of their MSc and PhD studies.
48 PhD grant portions at DKK 6,166 each, corresponding to DKK 295,968 (approx. €39,460).
'Duty work'
As a supplement to the PhD grant portions, the student may, in accordance with the collective agreement of the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC), be offered 'duty work'. In the period up to the completion of the MSc programme, students performing 'duty work' are paid by the hour. UCPH has decided to offer students on integrated MSc and PhD schemes 150 hours of 'duty work' per year during Part A of the programme (until two years of the combined programme of study remain). 'Duty work' during Part A if it has a duration of three years: 450 hours at a rate of DKK 217.94 (+ 12.5% holiday pay), corresponding to DKK 110,331 (approx. €14,710)
For further information about Part A please see: https://www.science.ku.dk/phd/studystructure/integratedphd/.
Salary in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC)
In the period after the completion of the MSc programme, the student is employed as a PhD scholar and is remunerated in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The scheme is arranged in such a way that students graduate from the MSc programme at a time when there are two years left of the integrated programme. For this reason, the salary must be paid for a period of two years in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The amounts specified include a supplement locally agreed upon as well as pension contributions: Salary as a PhD scholar: 24 months at a rate of DKK 31,809 (including pension contributions and supplement), corresponding to DKK 763,430 (approx. €101,790).
