NEC Labs Europe's Data Analytics group is looking for research scientists to develop and implement machine learning algorithms with real-world impact. We are an international team of researchers with a track record of producing top research (published at ICML, NIPS, KDD, SIGCOMM, WWW, UAI) and innovative data-driven products in and outside of NEC.
The current focus of the group is on neural network based learning. We work on novel methods for structured data (sequences, graphs, knowledge graphs) including unsupervised and semi-supervised learning as well as deep learning for multi-modal data. We work closely with NEC’s business units on internal research projects and participate in European R&D projects with industrial and academic partners. In addition, we have collaborations with the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. You will write papers and patents to document your accomplishments and present your work at international conferences. English is the working language in the lab. If you are excited about machine learning and ways to bring ML technologies to impact products and services, you should apply. More information about our research group and a list of recent publications is available at https://goo.gl/WhB3uA Requirements: ** PhD or PhD candidate in computer science or a related field ** A publication record at ML/AI conferences (e.g., ICML, KDD, WWW, WSDM, UAI, NIPS, etc.). ** Programming proficiency in languages such as Python, C/C++, and Java ** Familiarity with deep learning frameworks and GPUs is a plus (we maintain our own GPU cluster) NEC Laboratories in Heidelberg (Germany) provides an excellent working environment supporting individual creativity as well as strong teamwork. Heidelberg is a vibrant and multicultural city situated on the Neckar river in south-west Germany close the to Swiss and French borders. About 150,000 people live in the city and it is home to Heidelberg University, the oldest and top-ranked university in Germany. Heidelberg is a popular tourist destination due to its picturesque cityscape. In addtition to NEC Labs Europe and the research centers and institutes of the university, there are numerous research institutions such as the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), and the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research. Heidelberg is close to the headquarters of several international cooperations such as SAP, one of the largest software companies in the world, which is located 10 miles outside of the city center. Please send your application by October 31st, 2017 electronically via the applications web system http://www.neclab.eu/jobs with reference to [1708-261-NSDA]. If you want to know more about the position and NEC Labs Europe, please do not hesitate to contact Mathias Niepert.
