Are you passionate about causality and its applications to domain adaptation and optimization? We have a vacancy for a PhD candidate in the recently established Mercury Machine Learning Lab (MMLL). In this lab, researchers from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will be working together with data scientists from Booking.com to develop the statistical and machine learning foundations for a new generation of recommendation systems. Motivated by real-world problems faced in industry, we will investigate fundamental problems regarding generalization and bias removal in data analysis, and develop more usable machine learning and reinforcement learning techniques.

The successful candidate will be based in the Korteweg-De Vries Institute of the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, under supervision of prof. dr. Joris Mooij.

Application closing date: January 31, 2022 Preferred starting date: Early 2022 Duration: 4 years
