Postdoctoral position in Probabilistic Machine Learning and Amortized Inference (2 years, fully funded)
The Machine and Human Intelligence research group is looking for a postdoctoral candidate eager to work on amortized and sample-efficient (surrogate-based) approaches in probabilistic and simulator-based inference. The candidate will join our group at the University of Helsinki with active collaborations within the Finnish Center of Artificial Intelligence FCAI and internationally (New York, Geneva, Paris).
The position is fully funded for 2 years with possible extensions (pending funding) and will be filled as soon as possible, with a starting date to be negotiated. The starting salary will depend on previous qualifications and experience. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.

Eligibility for Master's Student Internships and MSc Thesis Positions
Our research group primarily accepts Master's students currently enrolled in in the Master's Programme in Data Science or Computer Science at the University of Helsinki. In some cases, we can also consider current students from Aalto University. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we regrettably cannot respond to all inquiries. Priority is given to students from the institutions mentioned above.
If you are interested in our work but do not meet these criteria, we encourage you to directly apply to the Master's programmes in Data Science or Computer Science at the University of Helsinki. For application procedures and requirements, please refer to the university's official admissions website for the Master's programmes, linked above.
