Partially Funded Postdoctoral Fellowships in Italy at ICTP

The International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is offering the ICTP's Quantitative Life Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowships for researchers all over the world. ICTP's Quantitative Life Sciences (QLS) section seeks applications from outstanding scientists of any nationality with a strong research record for two postdoctoral positions, both starting fall 2022. The positions are linked to the project CHORAL on the Computational Hardness Of Representation Learning funded by the European Research Council, with QLS researcher Jean Barbier as Principal Investigator.

• The net monthly salary ranges between 2100–2,700 EUR depending on seniority. 
• Benefits include a private health insurance, a pension contribution, special allowances for family members, competitive travel funds as well as computer equipment.

Candidates should have a background in one (and ideally two or more) of the following disciplines:

• Random matrix theory.
• Multi-matrix models (as appearing in QCD, string theory or map enumeration).
• Statistical mechanics, disordered systems and spin glasses (math or physics).
• High-dimensional statistics, high-dimensional probability.
• Information theory, theoretical signal processing, statistical inference.
• Theoretical machine learning, theory of gradient-based dynamics.
• Theory of (approximate) message passing algorithms.
• Experience in the numerical implementation of inference and machine learning algorithms in addition to the analytic skills is a plus but is not mandatory.

About ICTP:-

The International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is an international research institute for physical and mathematical sciences that operates under a tripartite agreement between the Italian Government, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and International Atomic Energy Agency. For more than 50 years, the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) has been a driving force behind global efforts to advance scientific expertise in the developing world. Founded in 1964 by the late Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam, ICTP seeks to accomplish its mandate by providing scientists from developing countries with the continuing education and skills that they need to enjoy long and productive careers.
