| Position Description: |
| Postdoctoral position in the project "Quantum topology and deep learning" (NCN Sonata grant) - Topic: - Application of machine learning to the intersection of low-dimensional topology and quantum field theory - Keywords: knots, 3-manifolds, quivers, string theory, deep learning - Research questions: Can algorithm learn to generate a quiver for a given knot? What distinguishes symmetric quivers that correspond to knots from the rest? What is the relationship between quivers and various kinds of knot invariants? - Requirements: - Experience in machine learning - Interest (and preferably experience) in research applications of machine learning - PhD in computer science or in related area (for example mathematics or physics) - Tasks: - Searching the best machine learning algorithms for the tasks from the project - Acquiring and exploring the data (related to knots, quivers, and 3-manifolds, mostly generated artifically) - Designing, implementing and training deep learning models - Documenting and maintaining datasets and the code - Starting date: - Oct 1, 2024 - 2 years (till Sep 30, 2026) - Benefits: - Possibility of ordering the computer of your choice covered by the grant (for up to ~2000 USD) - Possibility of collaboration with researchers from California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Rutgers University, University of Amsterdam, Uppsala University, LMU Munich, IAS Dublin, Academia Sinica, University of Tokyo, and other institutions - Possibility of participation in workshops, conferences, schools and other research activities covered by the grant - No teaching obligations - Piotr Kucharski - Remarks: - Full announcement is available at https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/158131 - Applicants with background in physics are encouraged to apply via
European joint postdoc applications related to theories on the
unification of fundamental interactions (choosing Warsaw as a preferred place) at https://itf.fys.kuleuven.be/postdoc-application/instructions - Applications submitted via AcademicJobsOnline are fully valid, but candidates might be asked to send additional documents required by the university |
