The Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering (http://www.ntnu.edu/ime) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) invites applications for a full-time associate professorship in Machine Learning affiliated with the Department of Computer and Information Science (http://www.ntnu.edu/idi).

 

Information about the Department

 

Currently there are 24 professors and 14 associate professors at the department. In addition there are 16 adjunct associate professors, 15 postdoctoral researchers, approx. 65 active PhD students, and 18 technical/administrative staff. Five of the tenured scientific positions are held by women, and eight are from other countries than Norway. Research activities are organized into groups and strategic European and National projects as documented here http://www.ntnu.edu/idi/research.

The department has a wide range of study programs and teaching responsibilities, including a 5 year Master of Science in Computer Science, a Bachelor and Master program in Informatics, an International Master in Information Systems, and a PhD program in Information Technology. We also provide fundamental education in information technology for other engineering and natural science students, as well continuing education.

  

Field of research and teaching

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, from the perspective of this position announcement, concerns methods and tools for enabling computers to learn from their own experience in order to improve their competence and performance. Research in these areas include knowledge-based as well as bio-inspired methods, and has had a substantial impact on the way advanced applications currently are built.

 

The associate professor will be a member of the Intelligent Systems (AI) research group, which has research in areas related to decision support, automated data analysis, evolutionary computation, and language technology. Methods that combine general domain knowledge with situation-specific experiences is a particularly focused area. For this position preference will be given to candidates with a strong focus and documented research contributions in learning methods that combine models of generalized knowledge with case-based reasoning.

The associate professor is expected to be in his/her early career and to play a leading role in research and research-based education in AI and Machine Learning in collaboration with the existing staff. Research activities are expected to have a strong international profile and impact. The research should have a long-term perspective according to the strategy of the department and contribute to the current group research.

 

Responsibilities and duties

 

MSc and PhD candidates from the study programs of the faculty are expected to be competitive in an international job market. The associate professor will play a leading role in developing the educational profile in artificial intelligence and machine learning, in collaboration with colleagues, students, and external stakeholders. The faculty's study programs aim at having a strong international profile, and the associate professor is expected to be able to contribute to the development of international alliances and collaboration. The associate professor is expected to teach relevant courses at all levels, as well as supervis
