از زمانی که کانال #اپلای تایم راه‌اندازی شده ‌است، اندکی بیش از 3 سال می‌گذرد! شاید باور کردنش دشوار باشد، ولی در طول این 3 سال بیش از 5000 موقعیت و یا بورسیه‌ی تحصیلی در مقاطع گوناگون، رشته‌های متنوع، و کشورهای مختلف با شما به اشتراک گذارده شده است! جدا از پست‌های دیگری که در برگیرنده‌ی فایل‌های آموزشی یا راهنمایی‌هایی جهت طی مسیر اپلای بودند. و سوا از ارائه‌ی مشاوره‌ی رایگان به بیش از 3000 نفر فقط از طریق تلگرام!!!

چه بسیار دوستانی که برای آن پوزیشن‌ها اپلای کردند، و چه بسیار کسانی که در نهایت پاسخ مثبت دریافت کرده‌اند. مبارک‌شان باشد! :)

در ادامه‌ی روند تصمیم گرفتیم که با ایجاد یک گروه تلگرامی برای کانال پوزیشن‌ها، مشارکت عزیزانی که علاقه‌مند هستند به دیگران کمک کنند را نیز جلب کنیم. بسیاری از ما احتمالا در طول روز با موقعیت‌ها یا بورسیه‌های تحصیلی‌ای برخورد می‌کنیم که برخی از آنها برای خود ما مناسب نیست، ولی شاید برای دیگر هم‌وطنان‌مان مفید باشد. در نتیجه چه خوب است که لینک آن‌ها را با دیگران به اشتراک بگذاریم! اگر اپلای تایم به تنهای توانسته بیش از 5000 پوزیشن را به اشتراک بگذارد، چنانچه همه‌ی ما با هم همکاری کنیم، چند پوزیشن می‌شود به اشتراک گذاشت؟!؟

شما می‌توانید با مراجعه به گروه زیر، لینک این گونه موقعیت‌ها یا بورسیه‌های تحصیلی‌ را با دیگران به اشتراک بگذارید:

https://news.1rj.ru/str/applytime_academic_positions

قوانین مربوط به اشتراک گذاری لینک‌ها در خود گروه توضیح داده شده است. اما به اختصار لازم به توضیح است، که این گروه برای تبادل نظر در زمینه‌ی اپلای طراحی نشده است، بلکه تنها و تنها جهت به اشتراک گذاری موقعیت‌ها یا بورسیه‌های تحصیلی می‌باشد.

اپلای تایم نیز مانند گذشته پوزیشن‌هایی را از طریق کانال یا وبسایت به اشتراک خواهد گذاشت.

7 Postdoctoral Research Positions - ML & AI for Healthcare

Computational Health Informatics (CHI) Laboratory,
Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford

The CHI Lab, led by David Clifton (Oxford Professor of Clinical Machine Learning), has sites in Oxford (funded by the Wellcome Trust, UK government, and NHS) and Suzhou, China (funded by the Chinese government), with over 30 researchers. We develop (non-imaging) interventions for use in healthcare that are based on machine learning, typically involving time-series analysis, Bayesian nonparametrics, and generative deep learning. In close collaboration with Oxford University Hospitals, we have acquired some of the world’s largest sets of patient data (> 1M admissions). We collaborate closely with industry to deploy our methods across hospitals at scale - our work is typically patented by Oxford University Innovation, for immediate translation into healthcare practice. Recent outcomes include the public listing on the UK stock exchange of a company (now approaching 100 employees) to implement our research, alongside other spin-outs.



CHI Lab has openings for postdoctoral researcher scientists, in ML & AI for healthcare, across three sites:

· Four postdocs across a variety of novel Oxford-based clinical collaborations; https://bit.ly/387NZAI

· One postdoc in our Chinese lab in Suzhou; https://bit.ly/2OQsVYa

· Two senior postdocs in our new Wellcome Trust-funded “Flagship Centre”, based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, sited within the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (containing 300 Oxford researchers). This initiative focuses on developing novel hospital-based AI interventions suitable for resource-constrained settings, and the posts include a generous package of “overseas allowances”. https://bit.ly/2DGQ5d4



Our lab’s members come from a variety of backgrounds, including machine learning, signal processing, imaging, statistics, and clinical medicine. You will have the opportunity to develop novel technologies based on machine learning as part of a highly collaborative team, with coinventorship on patents, publication in the engineering and medical literature (with leading clinical collaborators), and potential involvement with spin-out and industrial activity according to your interests.

Fully-funded Post Doctoral Position at InterDigitl, Information Theory for Understanding and Designing Flexible Deep Neural Networks

Running deep neural networks (DNNs) at the Edge and in consumer electronic (CE) devices remains still very challenging due to limited computational and memory resources. Moreover, usually those resources are constantly varying due to other concurrent processes that may start or stop. To optimally use varying resources, one needs so-called flexible DNN models, i.e., models that can optimally exploit all resources available at a given time.

We are targeting the design of such flexible models as follows. A flexible DNN is a network containing several simplified sub-networks of different complexities. This should allow optimally exploiting all available computational resources by executing an appropriate sub-network. However, designing such networks is difficult and time consuming. More precisely, designing an architecture of a usual (non-flexible) DNN is already time consuming, since one needs trying various numbers of layers, various numbers of neurons in each layer, etc. In case of flexible models we are targeting, one needs designing architectures of all sub-networks, which drastically increases the number of tries needed.

In this work we propose to look at the DNNs under the angle of information theory. Indeed, several recent works proposed to study DNNs [1, 2, 3, 4] using the information bottleneck principle [5]. This principle allows obtaining some theoretical bounds of DNN performance by quantifying mutual information between its layers. This will allow finding some near-optimal network simplification rules (going from one sub-network to another) based on theoretical findings, thus avoiding exhaustive cumbersome design of each sub-network. Moreover, we hope that this theoretical work will lead to other new results and findings.

Qualifications

PhD, in Computer Science, Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Mathematics.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Excellent Mathematical / Statistical Skills, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Strong knowledge in Information Theory
Good programming skills and / or simulation tools. SW (C/C++/Python)

Research Fellow / Senior Research Fellow at the intersection of machine learning and robotics

We are looking for a Research Fellow / Senior Research Fellow at the intersection of robotics and machine learning.

We are looking for a (Senior) Research Fellow at the intersection of robotics and machine learning.

Autonomous robots will play an increasingly important role in the future, e.g., in the context of healthcare, space exploration, or supporting humans in day-to-day activities. Key challenges, autonomous robots face are that they need to be able to learn from data and adapt fast to new situations without strong human interventions. Currently, autonomous learning systems either require vast amounts of data or they require human guidance. This project centers around approaches for data-efficient autonomous learning for robotics, e.g., by means of probabilistic modeling, transfer learning or using generic priors that constrain the learning system.

You will be part of the Statistical Machine Learning Group, which is located at UCL's Centre for Artificial Intelligence. We have a strong background in probabilistic modeling, data-efficient machine learning, and reinforcement learning. The successful applicant will lead and contribute to research projects at the intersection of statistical machine learning and climate science. They are also expected to contribute to student supervision and interact with research and project partners. The key objective is to design and evaluate machine learning approaches to advance the current state of the art in robot learning.

The post is graded as Grade 7 or Grade 8, with starting salary in the range £35,965 to £43,470 (Grade 7) or £44,674 to £52,701 (Grade 8) per annum (including London Allowance). Progression through the salary scale is incremental.

The funding for this post is for 24 months in the first instance.

The successful applicant will have a PhD (or close to be obtaining a PhD) in machine learning, statistics, computer science, robotics or a relevant area. They should have a track record of internationally recognized research and be able to work as part of a team. Research skills (theoretical and empirical, planning and documentary) plus effective written and verbal communication skills are essential.
