PhD fellowship in Trustworthy Machine Learning , Department of Computer Science. Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen
The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Machine Learning with a particular focus on Trustworthy Machine Learning or learning with imperfect data. Start date is (expected to be) on 1 November 1 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
As machine learning algorithms become increasingly prevalent in everyday life, needing substantial volumes of user data, it is critical to consider their societal impacts. This project aims to enhance the trustworthiness—encompassing privacy, fairness, and robustness—of contemporary machine learning algorithms, particularly when faced with inadequate data (e.g., noisy, unlabelled, biased, etc.). Consequently, this project will offer an opportunity to delve into a wide array of topics within modern machine learning, including differential privacy, semi- and self-supervised learning, robust machine learning techniques, and ensuring fairness within machine learning models.
Who are we looking for?
We are seeking exceptional candidates with expertise in Machine Learning and Statistics. Ideal applicants may come from a diverse range of areas within machine learning, such as learning theory, robust and private machine learning, as well as semi-supervised or self-supervised learning approaches. This project encompasses both theoretical and applied sides, inviting applicants with a keen interest in either domain to apply. Additionally, individuals with a background in theoretical aspects of Computer Science or Mathematics, who have prior experience with machine learning, are encouraged to join our team.
Our group and research- and what do we offer?
Our group works on various fundamental topics within machine learning with a recent focus on two areas – 1) robust and private machine learning algorithms and 2) machine learning algorithms with limited or imperfect data. We are also a part of the DeLTA Lab, Pioneer Center of AI, and will work closely with BARC. The group is located in the Department of Computer Science (DIKU), Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We offer a creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.
The project will be supervised by Professor Amir Yehudayoff and Assistant Professor Amartya Sanyal in the University of Copenhagen and in collaboration with Professor Varun Kanade at the University of Oxford.
Qualifications needed for the regular programme
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. Computer Science, Maths, or Statistics. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.
Terms of employment in the regular programme
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.
Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. The position is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.
Responsibilities and tasks in the PhD programme
We are looking for the following qualifications:
