Funded Postdoc Position in Machine Learning Theory

Apply for a funded Postdoc position in Machine Learning Theory at IISc Bangalore, focusing on optimization and theoretical ML, with a duration of 1-2 years.

A highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher is sought to join the Department of Computer Science & Automation at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), led by Anant Raj. The group focuses on foundational questions in machine learning theory and optimization.

Research areas include:

• Optimization theory (SGD, GD, overparameterized networks)
• Sampling from arbitrary distributions and large-deviation methods
• Robustness and dynamics of modern ML systems

Requirements:

• Ph.D. in CS, Mathematics, Statistics, EE, or related fields
• Strong theoretical foundation in optimization or machine learning theory
• Evidence of strong research capability (publications at top conferences or journals)

To apply, send a CV, research statement, and two representative publications to anantraj@iisc.ac.in. For more information, visit Anant Raj’s homepage and Google Scholar.
