From: Laura Balzano <girasole@umich.edumailto:girasole@umich.edu> Subject: Fwd: Postdoctoral position at UM Date: 25 January 2021 at 23:34:46 CET To: undisclosed-recipients:;

Dear colleagues,

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.edumailto: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, Laura Balzano Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~girasole/https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http:%2F%2Fweb.eecs.umich.edu%2F~girasole%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C8e08045812ea41fdd36808d8c18172d1%7Ccc7df24760ce4a0f9d75704cf60efc64%7C1%7C0%7C637472109013592959%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=hOIatIpiug%2BmF%2FOj5otWSDSmAXXDkCrVheQtK8s6n6k%3D&reserved=0
