Postdoctoral position in LIP6 (Sorbonne Université, Paris, France) - Time-dependant topic models
The Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris 6 (LIP6) in Paris, France, has a 12 months funded full-time Post-Doctoral Researcher position available in machine learning. The main topic is to learn time-dependent topic and word representations for large scientific document collections.
The position takes place in the context of the EPIQUE project, which aims at building phylomemies (graphs of time-dependent topics). One particular goal is to leverage work conducted on latent topic models, and especially temporal adaptation of those. The focus will be on developing and implementing word/topic representation-based models adapted for phylomemies, and to exploit continuous word/topic representations.
The ideal candidate will have:
- A PhD in machine learning, data mining or other strongly related data science topics.
- A very solid background in computer science and mathematics. Special areas of interest include topic models, deep learning, big data processing and optimization.
- Strong publication record in the area of machine learning and data science.
- Solid programming skills (Python, with one or more ML frameworks) to conduct experiments
- Excellent command of English and team work capacity.
The successful candidate will join the Database team of the DAPA department, Sorbonne Université, Paris, France, led by Prof. Bernd Amann. The candidate will have strong interactions with the MLIA team (Machine Learning and Information Access team) of the DAPA department and will be supervised by Prof. Bernd Amann and Dr. Benjamin Piwowarski. Sorbonne Université is referenced as the first French university in the academic ranking of international universities.
Location: LIP6, University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris (France)
Start: September-December 2019
Duration: 1 year
Net salary (indicative range): from 1,800 Euros to 2,400 Euros per month, commensurate with experience.
Candidates should send to [email protected] and [email protected] :
- a CV
- a short text explaining why their skills, knowledge, and experience make them a particularly suitable candidate for the given position
- Their three most representative papers
- The name and emails of two referees

PhD student at the Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences
The Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences of Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands, invites applications for a four-year PhD position (1,0 fte) in continental political philosophy, the philosophy of culture, or cultural studies, starting November 1, 2018 or later this year, on the topic of social media and the public sphere.
Profile
Candidates must hold a MA/MSc degree or equivalent by the time of appointment. Apart from philosophy graduates, candidates with degrees in other relevant disciplines are welcome if they can demonstrate a high level of familiarity with political philosophy or philosophy of culture.
The selected candidate will be a member of the Graduate School of the Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences. The selected candidate is expected to become member of the research groups Philosophy of Humanity, Culture and Ethics and Rapid Social & Cultural Transformations. They sustain large international networks and regularly organize conferences, workshops and seminars in different traditions of continental philosophy and cultural studies, respectively.
The candidate is expected to have written a PhD thesis on the topic of social media and the public sphere by the end of the contract. The PhD thesis is funded by the Advancing Society: Impact program of Tilburg University, theme: Empowering Resilient Society. The subject of the thesis is expected to be an interdisciplinary research, which combines two or more of the following disciplines:
Philosophy of Humanity, Culture, and Society; Philosophy of Art and Media;
Cultural Studies; Literary theory; Online culture and Digitalization
Philosophy of Law; Critical Theory; Democratic Theory.
The thesis will be written under the supervision of Prof. M.S. Prange (Department of Philosophy); Prof. O.M. Heynders (Department Cultural Studies); Dr. M. Bot (Department of Law).
This PhD project explores possibilities for democratic communication in an age of social media and digital technologies. The project explores how social media and digital technologies can facilitate free communication among equal members of democratic publics, and it explores how social media and digital technologies can undermine such free communication, for instance through bots and trolling and by providing platforms for narratives, symbols, and sentiments of inequality, particularly of race, religion, gender and sexuality.
Employment terms and conditions
Tilburg University is rated among the top Dutch employers and offers very good fringe benefits (it is one of the best non-profit employers in the Netherlands), such as an options model for terms and conditions of employment and excellent reimbursement of moving expenses. The collective labor agreement of Dutch universities applies.

PhD Position: Cavity Enhanced Nanochemistry, Netherlands
Scientific aim: :
It has been recently shown that it is possible to control the rate of chemical reactions by strong coupling of molecular transitions to the vacuum electromagnetic field. For this purpose, chemical reactions are typically confined within a closed optical cavity composed of two parallel mirrors spaced by a controlled distance. The present research project studies how strong coupling affects the rate of chemical reactions, using open cavities made of plasmonic nanoparticle arrays. The arrays will be fabricated using e-beam and nano-imprint lithography techniques available at the Nanolab@TU/e. Strong coupling between collective plasmonic modes and electronic or vibrational modes of the reactant and product molecules will be achieved by tuning the cavity resonance frequency to the desired molecular transitions. Compared to classical optical cavities, the proposed nanophotonic geometry has the promise of a much greater ease of operation, spectral modulation, and detection of the reaction products.
Responsibilities and tasks:
The proposed research is perfectly aligned to the current strategy at DIFFER, focused on fundamental research on novel materials, processes, and devices for energy conversion. The research tasks are highly interdisciplinary, ranging from nanophotonics modeling, to optical microscopy and spectroscopy, to the characterisation of catalytic reactions. In particular, you will:
Select suitable model catalytic reactions to study under the strong coupling regime.
Perform numerical modeling of the optical modes of the cavity and find optimal nanoparticle array geometries.
Assemble a flow cell microscopy setup and study catalytic rates under strong coupling regimes.
Write scientific publications and present your work at national and international conferences.
Qualifications:
We seek an outstanding candidate that is willing to work in an international and interdisciplinary team of physicists and chemists. You should have a recent Master degree in physics, chemistry, materials science or a closely related field. Prior experience in numerical modeling, nanophotonics, or optical microscopy and spectroscopy is not required, but is considered a plus. You should also have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
Closing date:
Friday, August 31, 2018

Perform numerical modeling of the optical modes of the cavity and find optimal nanoparticle array geometries.
Assemble a flow cell microscopy setup and study catalytic rates under strong coupling regimes.
Write scientific publications and present your work at national and international conferences.
Qualifications:
We seek an outstanding candidate that is willing to work in an international and interdisciplinary team of physicists and chemists. You should have a recent Master degree in physics, chemistry, materials science or a closely related field. Prior experience in numerical modeling, nanophotonics, or optical microscopy and spectroscopy is not required, but is considered a plus. You should also have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
Closing date:
