PhD position in quantum computing at University of Trento

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  August 23, 2018, 4.00 PM  CEST

Topic: 

Definition and simulation of algorithms on an adiabatic quantum computer - AdiabaticQC 


P.I.: 

- Luciano Serafini (ICT department of Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento)
- Andrea Passerini (Dept. of Information Engineering and Computer Science, University of Trento)
- Valter Moretti (Dept. of Mathematics, University of Trento)


Contacts: 

serafini@fbk.eu; andrea.passerini@unitn.it; valter.moretti@unitn.it 


Synthetic denoscription of the activity and expected research outcome: 

The research activity will be focused on developing and testing a methodology for encoding algorithms in the target Hamiltonian and in the evolution scheme of an Adiabatic Quantum Computer. In particular main goals are: The direct implementation and simulation of the Grover algorithm on the target adiabatic architectures, the implementation of a compiler based on the universality theorem of adiabatic computing to generate the Hamiltonian that encodes the considered problem. The strategy will be modeling the adiabatic scheme (problem Hamiltonian and a suitable evolution) as a varying scalar function and learning it with Bayesian Optimization and reinforcement learning. A final research outcome will be the application of the methodology to implement, simulate and test a version of the genetic quantum algorithm. 


Ideal candidate (skills and competences): 

- Either master's degree in Physics or master's degree in Computer Science; 
- Bases of either quantum computing or machine learning; 
- Attitude to interdisciplinary research; 
- Attitude to learn new subjects; 
- Knowledge of one major programming language;

Postdoc opening: Development and Plasticity of Mammalian Sensory Circuitry

Interviews available at FENS-Berlin

Seeking dynamic and motivated Ph.D. for a postdoc in developmental neurobiology and neural plasticity in the laboratory of Professor Sarah Pallas, in anticipation of starting a new laboratory in the New England area.  This fully-funded position will provide an intelligent and highly motivated candidate with the opportunity to gain research skills across systems, cellular, and molecular neuroscience, using different mammalian species as subjects.  Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in a related field (e.g. Neuroscience, Biology, Biophysics, Biopsychology, Bioengineering) and evidence of productivity.  The lab was recently awarded two federal grants (NSF and DARPA) and is well-positioned to address long-standing questions about the interactions between sensory experience and genetic programs during development and plasticity of the visual and auditory systems.  Seehttp://sites.gsu.edu/spallas/ .   
 

Interested candidates should contactspallas@gsu.edu for details and instructions on how to apply.

Fully funded Ph.D. grant in prenoscriptive analytics including additional funding

DEADLINE FOR PRELIMINARY APPLICATION PHASE: 30/JULY/2018

The Ph.D. Programme in Informatics Engineering at the University of Porto is starting a groundbreaking funding initiative in collaboration with some of the leading IT companies in Portugal to support outstanding candidates in areas including machine learning, artificial intelligence, software engineering, blockchain and others.

The funding includes:
-a monthly grant of 1100€ (above the value of the portuguese national grants, 980€)
-tuition fees
-some additional funding for traveling and equipment
-2 MSc grants/year, to be supervised by the PhD student

The candidate should have a very strong background in Informatics engineering, computer science and, ideally in artificial intelligence/machine learning.

The first grant is funded by InovRetail (https://www.inovretail.com) and aims to develop a platform for prenoscriptive analytics to automate decision making processes based on predictive models. The project will be supervised by Carlos Soares (https://scholar.google.pt/citations?user=Lw7ojGsAAAAJ&hl=en).

Interested students should send a 1 page PDF document to csoares@fe.up.pt UNTIL 30/JULY/2018, containing:
-a summarized CV
-a one paragraph statement of why you should be selected for the grant

Additional advantages of this initiative are:
-a PhD project tightly coupled with industry and focused on problems of great interest to industry;
-Access to training activities and workshops promoted by the funding company (including training on additional technical areas and soft skills);
-Advice on writing the cv, on best ways to behave on interviews, on time management, etc.
-Privileged access to technical reports and technology;
-Advise on business plans and IP (registration, patent applications, etc.)
-Privileged access to investors investor capital and startup programs;
-Possibility to achieve higher impact based on the combination of two worlds (academia + industry) and on the associated resources;
-Influence and propose future technology, methodologies, and practices (Informatics Engineering of the Future);
-Acquire the expertise to strongly contribute to decision making in terms of technology;

The Ph.D. project will be carried out at the Department of Informatics Engineering (https://dei.fe.up.pt/pt/home-page/) of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, one of the most dynamic and fastest growing departments of the U. Porto.

Postdoctoral Fellow – Computer Vision in Health Monitoring Applications, Canada

Location: Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Start Date: Immediately

Closing Date: Until the position is filled

Keywords: Computer Vision, Deep Learning, Human Pose Tracking, Facial Expression Analysis, Machine Learning, Health Monitoring

Denoscription:

The Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Research (AIRR) team at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (TRI) invites applications to the position of Postdoctoral Fellow. The project relates to the application of deep learning and computer vision techniques to health monitoring. You will join a leading multi-disciplinary research team centred at TRI, part of the University Health Network and affiliated with the University of Toronto.

TRI is the largest rehabilitation hospital in Canada and is the number one rehabilitation research center in the world. We are affiliated with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, one the best CS schools in the world. We are only a few minutes away from the CS building and also from the Vector Institute. So you will have a chance to attend seminars, talks, and paper reading sessions.

You will be working with real data, from real patients, and solving real-life healthcare problems. At the same time, there are plenty of inspiring computer science questions and challenges to tackle. So you will have a chance (and you are expected to) conduct computer vision (and/or machine learning) research and publish in major CS journals and conferences as well as publications geared towards clinical audiences. We have a goldmine of clinical data, including longitudinal gait and posture data (videos) and facial expressions data (images/videos) of older adults with dementia.

Multi-disciplinary work experience is a plus, but this could also be an ideal position for a hands-on recent graduate who has proven herself/himself in theoretical and algorithm development/implementation aspects and wants to apply her/his knowledge to solve practical problems in healthcare.

Requirements:

The successful candidate will hold a PhD in computer science or a related discipline or will be graduating by September 2018. She or he is also expected to have a solid research and publication record related to computer vision and deep learning (e.g. human pose estimation/tracking, facial expression analysis). A strong publication record and solid programming skills (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn) are expected.

Application:

The nominal start date is ASAP. There is no official closing date and applications will be reviewed as they are received. To apply, submit your CV and a link to your github page to Dr. Babak Taati. Please include [Computer Vision PDF 2018] in the subject line. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

Scientist, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – University Health Network
