Postdoc in Machine Learning (basic research)
A postdoctoral position in Machine Learning is available immediately at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) in the group of Christoph Lampert.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* Trustworthy machine learning (e.g., privacy, fairness, robustness, federated learning, LLM security, ...)
* Transfer/continual/meta learning (also multi-task learning, domain adaptation, lifelong learning, ...)
Applicants should hold a PhD in machine learning or a related area of modern data analysis, with a strong background in mathematics, programming, and analytic reasoning. A strong research record is required, documented by publications at first-tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) or journals (JMLR, TPAMI, ML).
We are looking for highly motivated and creative individuals who enjoy working in an excellent research environment, including state-of-the-art compute resources and generous funding for equipment and conference travel. The successful candidate will have no mandatory teaching or administrative duties, though voluntary teaching of PhD-level courses is encouraged and supported.

Good communication skills and fluency in English are required; German language skills are optional.
Conditions of employment: The postdoctoral positions are offered for one or two years with a very competitive salary. Extensions are possible. The starting date is flexible. There is no fixed deadline; applications will be considered until all positions are filled.
