Postdoc opening at KAUST Vision-CAIR Group starting Fall 2020-Spring 2021

Vision-CAIR group at KAUST (https://cemse.kaust.edu.sa/vision-cair) is inviting top postdoctoral researchers with experience with computer vision/ AI/ machine learning starting Fall 2020/Spring 2021. Posdoc researchers at the Vision-CAIR group are expected to develop principled understanding and computational approaches in the following research themes: A) learning efficiency /computational creativity (zero/few-shot/long-tail learning of visual tasks. This also includes efficient generative models that are capable of generating and understanding unseen art/fashion/3d design ) B) continual learning (e.g. alleviating catastrophic forgetting in various learning settings including recognition RL), C) vision and language (this overlaps with the former themes as we integrate 2D/3D vision with language in most of the work different these themes). This is a video, about imagination inspired AI where I describe what is Imagination Inspired AI which relates to A and C themes, part of the research we do at Vision-CAIR group among other topics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1dytXfbFkM. This is also a presentation that covers continual learning (theme: B) methods that we have worked on https://www.dropbox.com/s/sdtbmptu7a2chks/deepcontinuallearning.pdf.

ML and NLP Postdocs at Northwestern University Medical School (working with >8 million patient data)
We are recruiting multiple postdoctoral fellows at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to conduct research under guidance from Dr. Yuan Luo, Associate Professor and Chief AI Scientist, Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute. Our group website: https://labs.feinberg.northwestern.edu/lyg/. The fellow will also have the opportunities to work closely with top-notch clinicians from Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and clinical, genetic and imaging data of >8 million patients from Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse.

The successful candidate will have PhD in EECS, Biomedical Informatics, IEMS, Physics or related fields with solid programming skills. Experiences in one or more of the following areas are desirable: Machine Learning (ML) and/or Natural Language Processing (NLP) and/or time series analysis and/or -omic analysis. The candidate should demonstrate good communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment, to coordinate and supervise part of the research project.

We offer a competitive salary and an initial appointment of 12 months, starting 2019/2020. Extension of the postdoctoral position for up to 3 years is possible. Northwestern University is an exceptional research institution that has a world-class medical school and is an emerging hub in biomedical AI; our department is located in downtown Chicago, one of the most vibrant cities in the US. Be part of a prestigious institution that offers great benefits, and enjoy our lakefront working environment.

Please send your application to Yuan Luo <[email protected]>, which should include:
- Curriculum vitae
- List of publications (attach a copy of one of your strongest papers)
- Contact details for 2 to 3 references
