(mi scuso per il cross-posting) Segnalo questa ottima opportunità di dottorato ad Eindhoven (TU/e) per 5 anni con Nelly Litvak. Scadenza tra poche settimane. ================ ================ ================ *Fully funded PhD-TA position in Algorithms for Complex Networks at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands.* Deadline: June 16, 2024 As a PhD TA candidate you will develop new distributed algorithms for large networks and analyze these algorithms using probability theory and the theory of random graphs. In particular, you will study algorithms for computing the stationary distribution of random walks and policy evaluation. Random walks are used in network analysis for ranking vertices, community detection, and embedding of the vertices in multi-dimensional space for machine learning tasks. Policy evaluation is widely used in reinforcement learning, for instance, for training large language models. The PhD TA position is for 5 years with 25% of your time spent on education. The applicants are required to have MSc in mathematics or applied mathematics. Eindhoven University of Technology offers excellent conditions of employment: - Full-time employment for five years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 25% of your employment on teaching tasks. - Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the *Collective Labour Agreement* for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,770 max. €3,539). - A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%. - High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process. - An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities. - An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs. - A Staff Immigration Team and a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) for international candidates.
