University or Organization: University of Zurich 
Department: NCCR Evolving Language
Job Location: Zurich, Switzerland 
Web Address: https://evolvinglanguage.ch/
Job Title: Data Science Consultant Specialized in Machine Learning (80-100%)
Job Rank: Consultant

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Data Science, Machine Learning


Description:

With the launch of a new National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR)
Evolving Language, which involves nearly 40 different research groups from a
large variety of disciplines across Switzerland, we seek to fill a position as
data science consultant specialized in machine learning at the University of
Zurich. The position is initially limited to one year but will be converted
into a permanent position after a positive performance assessment.

Your responsibilities: 
The successful candidate will join a data science task force at the NCCR's
headquarters in Zurich in co-affiliation with the University of Zurich's
Technology Platform LiRI (Linguistic Research Infrastructure). The task force
will work intensively with researchers across the entire network of the NCCR
and so the members of the task force are expected to also spend time in the
various labs of the network (conditions permitting). The task force will
actively collaborate with data science platforms at the ETH Zurich and EPF
Lausanne (e.g. the Swiss Data Science Centre) as well as with partners in
industry (e.g. the Google Research Natural Language Processing Group in
Zurich).

Your profile: 
The ideal candidate has a PhD degree in a relevant discipline such as speech
recognition, sound separation, computational neuroscience, neuroinformatics,
or natural language processing. S/he is knowledgeable in problem settings in
the domains relevant to the NCCR and well versed with machine learning
techniques including deep learning and reinforcement learning. S/he is
experienced in developing efficient solutions in both small and big data
settings. The NCCR places great emphasis on teamwork and on multidisciplinary
perspectives. Excellent communication and collaboration skills are essential.

What we offer: 
We offer varied and interesting work in an inspiring and socially relevant
environment. Diversity and inclusion are important to us. The NCCR places
great emphasis on gender balance; we particularly encourage women to apply.

Place of work: Zurich

Applications should include: 
 - a cover letter stating your motivation and vision for the field,
 - a CV with publication list,
 - a copy of the highest degree,
 - and the names of three references.

Review of applications starts November 15 and applications are accepted until
the position is filled. Please submit your application as a single PDF
labelled 'MachineLearning-YourSurname.pdf' via the job portal of the
University of Zurich (see the application link below).



Application Deadline:  (Open until filled)
