2 PhD student positions in Machine Learning for Geosciences
by Luca Martino 21 May '16

21 May '16

We are searching for outstanding candidates with a strong interest in machine learning and geosciences to cover 2 PhD student positions to join the Image and Signal Processing (ISP) group in the *Universitat de Valencia, Spain,* http://isp.uv.es. The positions are funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant 2015-2020 entitled "Statistical Learning for Earth Observation Data Analysis" (SEDAL), http://sedalproject.wordpress.com, under the direction of* Prof. Gustau Camps-Valls*. More info about the openings in http://isp.uv.es/sedal.pdf *** The project and job description We aim to develop the next generation of statistical inference methods to analyze Earth Observation (EO) data. Machine learning models have helped to monitor land, oceans, and atmosphere through the analysis and estimation of climate and biophysical parameters. Current approaches, however, cannot deal efficiently with the particular characteristics of remote sensing data. We will develop advanced regression (retrieval, model inversion) methods to improve efficiency, prediction accuracy and uncertainties, encode physical knowledge about the problem, attain self-explanatory models, learn graphical causal models to explain the complex interactions between essential climate variables and observations, and discover hidden essential drivers and confounding factors in Climate/Geo Sciences. Highly motivated researchers with a degree/PhD in computer science, statistics, machine learning, electrical engineering, physics, or mathematics are encouraged to apply. All candidates should have a solid understanding and knowledge of machine learning and statistics, and being particularly interested in remote sensing and geoscience problems. The theses will be devoted to: *(PhD1) regression, model inversion and time series analysis, and* *(PhD2) structure learning, graphical models and causal inference*. In both cases, good programming skills (Matlab/Python/R/C++), a critical and organized sense for data analysis, as well as maturity and commitment, strong communication, presentation and writing skills are a big plus. *** Application details - *Deadline: Send your application no later than **June 1st 2016.* - How? Send me: 2-pages CV, motivation letter, 3 best papers, 3 recommendation letters or contacts - When? Preferred starting dates: September 2016 - How long? 3 years contract - How much? Salary according to UV scales including social security, health insurance benefits, and travel money - Where? Valencia, Spain, Mediterranean city, nice weather, hike and beach. Excellent cost-of-living index = 55 *** Contact - Before applying: Informal inquiries may be addressed to Prof. Dr. Gustau Camps-Valls, gustau.camps(a)uv.es - Ready to apply? Send your dossier in one single PDF to gustau.camps(a)uv.es, subject: SEDAL application

21 May '16

*Postdoctoral Position - Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia* The Department of Management at Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship within the research project: "Interactions in complex economic systems: innovation, contagion and crises”. The general area of of interest is Decision Sciences, with special reference to Mathematical Methods for Economics and Finance. Prospective candidates are expected to have relevant experience on the research topic, and should preferably be holding a Ph.D. or being close to receiving one. The research shall be carried out in English. Duration of contract: 12 months (expected starting date: September 2016). Deadline: June 20th 2016, 12 a.m. (GMT+2, Rome Time) Stipend: The research fellowship amounts to 19.367,00 Euros per year, including taxes and social charges. Research allowance: 1.500,00 Euros, aimed at covering research costs. Abstract of the Project: The study of complex economic systems requires quantitative tools to develop suitable models. Depending on the skills and preferences of the candidate, different lines of research can be undertaken. 1. A methodological research related mainly to statistical mechanics or probability theory (e.g., spatial interaction models and/or probabilistic cellular automata). 2. An applied line of research related to diffusion of innovations on social networks. 3. An applied line of research related to the heterogeneous agents in economics and/or finance (e.g., differences in opinion/information in financial markets, dynamics of populations in social sciences). All the relevant information for applicants is available in English (link) <http://www.unive.it/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=138305> and in Italian (link <http://www.unive.it/bandiassegni>).

Colloquium di Arnaud Guillin a Roma Tre, mercoledi 25 maggio alle 16

COLLOQUIUM DI MATEMATICA ROMA TRE Prof. Arnaud Guillin Universite' Blaise Pascal Titolo: When Lyapunov meets Poincare' and (log-) Sobolev Mercoledi' 25 Maggio 2016 ORE 16:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Aula F, primo piano, edificio Aule - Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 Abstract: Functional inequalities such as Poincare' or log-Sobolev inequalities have proved to be crucial in various fields, enabling to prove concentration of measure, speed of convergence to equilibrium, contractivity properties... and so much more, for example linked to curvature dimension condition. In probability, completely different techniques based on return time to nice set established via Lyapunov conditions and coupling enable to establish convergence to equilibrium. We will present here both approach, and their fundamental properties, and will finally link them in a (nice ? and) novel way.
