I have a postdoc
opportunity at the University of Michigan
to begin in spring 2021, working with me and
also with the hope that the postdoc also establishes a co-mentor at UM
. Please
share with your colleagues and students and have them send their CV and research
statement to me at <
girasole@umich.edu> with the subject "Joining the Balzano lab -- postdoc 2021" if
they are interested.
I am seeking a postdoc who is interested in optimization methods for novel machine learning applications. Any topic under the umbrella of low-dimensional modeling would be appropriate for this
postdoctoral position. I am particularly interested in optimization for constrained SVD, nonlinear low-dimensional models, nonlinear or non-independent measurement models, joint dimensionality reduction and clustering, sketching within
optimization algorithms, and time-varying low-dimensional models. Applications that motivate my work recently include power systems monitoring, medical and computational imaging, preference learning and learning to rank, control systems identification, and
environmental monitoring. The position will be one year renewable for three (two is the most likely length).
I would be thrilled to receive applications from people in underrepresented groups in machine learning, such as women and BIPOC candidates. This postdoc has no requirements other than research. As I am keenly aware of extra service and outreach
workload burden for these groups, I do my best to advise those in my group on these matters and help them protect their time.
Thank you,
