Phd On Trustworthy and Secure Ai with Focus On Ood

2 weken geleden

Eindhoven, Nederland TU Eindhoven Voltijd

**Job description**:
Our goal is to provide theoretically founded Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) methods as a stepping stone toward trustworthy machine learning models that know what they don’t know. We can distinguish different types of OOD data, such as adversarial examples, near-OOD, and far-OOD. A challenge here is that, unlike for adversarial examples, we don’t have a mathematical framework (yet) for near-OOD and far-OOD data. The topic of OOD detection also links to explainable AI, whose exploration might be worthwhile to identify differences in the processing of in-distribution data and OOD data.

This project is a collaboration between the Data and AI cluster from TU/e and the industrial semiconductor company NXP. This gives the position a unique opportunity to experience and build a network in both academic industrial research.

The position is available from October 1st and will be performed under the supervision of Profs. Wil Michiels (Security Group, NXP), and Sibylle Hess (Data and AI).

**Job requirements**:

- A master's degree (or an equivalent university degree) in Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Experience in programming and empirical analysis in Deep Learning (e.g. in Python, PyTorch).
- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively.
- Strong written and oral communication skills in English.

**Conditions of employment**:
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

- Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
- Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,770 max. €3,539).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
- An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
