Academia.edu looking for machine learning expert
www.Academia.edu is a Facebook-style site for academics, which has
recently launched. It is looking to hire an expert in machine learning
to join the team.
We are looking for someone to work with us to help us develop, and scale
up,
the paper-tracker. We are looking for someone who: -Has experience in machine learning -Is keen to develop tools for that improve academics lives -Loves problem-solving -Learns super-quickly -Is enthusiastic about working in a startup with a large equity stake Experience building a previous application is definitely a plus, though not essential. Experience extracting meta-data from documents is also a plus, but not essential. We are based in San Francisco. We are offering a salary of $80,000, and options of between 4-5%. We have a small very strong team, and want to hire really brilliant people. If you would like to hear more about Academia.edu, please contact Richard Price at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sep 21, 2007 From: Peter Auer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Research position in Machine Learning/CBIR Research position in Machine Learning/CBIR Chair for Information Technology, University of Leoben, Austria For an EU-funded project we are looking for a highly motivated post doctoral researcher in machine learning with an emphasis on on-line learning, active learning, and/or reinforcement learning. The application domain in this project is content based image/information retrieval (CBIR) and/or cognitive vision. To learn more about the above project and the research at the Chair of Information Technology, University of Leoben, Austria, please visit http://unileoben.ac.at/~infotech. This position can be filled immediately for up to four years. Depending on your qualification salary is in the range 30000-45000 EUR per year (after all social and insurance benefits and taxes this is net 1500-2000EUR per month). Highly qualified PhD candidates will be considered as well.
Applicants should submit 1) a CV, including a brief research statement, 2) 1-3 recent publications in electronic format, and 3) the names and contact information of three individuals who can serve as references.
