could you please post the following job announcement to the list?

Thanks,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postdoctoral Position in Bayesian Machine Learning

EPFL's Probabilistic Machine Learning Lab (http://lapmal.epfl.ch/), headed
by Matthias Seeger, has an opening for a post-doctoral fellow in the
field of Bayesian machine learning / low level computer vision, as part of
a project funded by the European Research Council.

The initial appointment is for 12 months, extensions up to 3 years are
possible.
Topics of interest are:

- Variational approximate Bayesian inference (variational Bayes, expectation
propagation, MCMC)
- Bayesian techniques for large scale models (stacks of image frames, 3D
imaging, text)
- Exploring links between approximate Bayesian inference and large scale
optimization (theory and algorithms)
- Applications of variational Bayesian inference to adaptive compressive
sensing, magnetic resonance imaging, low-level computer vision or
neuroscientific models

The Probabilistic Machine Learning Lab is set within a vibrant, world-class
environment at EPFL, one of the leading technical universities worldwide
(the I&C department is top-ranked in Europe).
EPFL is located next to Lake Geneva in a beautiful setting 60 kilometers
away from the city of Geneva. Salaries are internationally competitive
(among
the highest in Europe).

Requirements:

Applicants are expected to have finished, or be about to finish their
Ph.D. degrees. They must have an exceptional background in probabilistic
machine learning, numerical optimization, or statistical physics. A firm
grasp
of approximate Bayesian machine learning and/or advanced (medical) image
processing is a plus.
A track record of relevant publications at top machine learning or computer
vision conferences (NIPS, ICML, UAI, JMLR, CVPR, ICCV, PAMI, IJCV, IEEE IT)
and/or top-ranked image processing or physics journals is essential.

The working language at EPFL is English (good skills essential), French is
not required.

Application:

Please send your applications by email to
Matthias Seeger (matthias.seeger@epfl.ch)

Make sure to include:
- Statement of interest
- Curriculum vitae
- List of publications (add copies of 2-3 strongest papers in the area of
interest of this call)
- Contact details for 2-3 letters of reference

If you happen to attend the forthcoming NIPS conference, December 12-17,
Granada, please do make yourself known to me there.
