Application deadline: 1 April 2022.

The research project aims to deepen our analytical understanding of the theoretical properties of causal inference concepts in sequential decision making setups. The project will seek for major contributions to the field of statistical learning theory and its implications to theoretically-guided algorithm development. The project is funded by a prestigious domestic grant.

IMADA has the unique feature of bringing mathematicians and computer scientists together within a single department to foster theoretically-supported data science research. IMADA is home to many ongoing externally funded research projects, as well as to a rich curriculum of data science courses. The Data Science and Statistics Group is a synergy platform for the data science experts in IMADA.

We are seeking candidates with a PhD degree earned via a world-class research output in statistical learning theory, causal inference, or reinforcement learning theory documented by first-author publications at the main-track proceedings/transactions of tier-1 level fundamental machine learning research venues including ICML, NeurIPS, UAI, AISTATS, ICLR, AAAI, IJCAI, JMLR, PAMI, etc.. We expect from the candidates excellent scientific writing skills in English. The successful candidate will participate in research projects and assist in the supervision of students.

Place of work:
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is located at the main campus of the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
The University of Southern Denmark was founded in 1966 and now has more than 27,000 students, almost 20% of whom are from abroad.
