Post-doctoral Researcher in Machine Learning-based

2 weken geleden


Maastricht, Nederland Maastricht University Voltijd

The position is embedded in the Systems and Control research group of DACS.

You will conduct research on data-driven decomposition of signals. More specifically, you will work on advancing the theoretical background of traditional techniques, and integrating those with both deep learning frameworks and tensor-based decomposition approaches. You will start by working on developing methods for decomposing univariate signals, followed by extending your findings to methods for decomposing multivariate signals. The final goal is to develop new flexible and versatile methods for decomposition of (multivariate) signals in physically meaningful components.

Your tasks will include:

- Perform scientific research in machine learning-based data-driven signal decomposition;
- Publish results at top-tier (international) conferences and in international journals;
- Present the results in internal research group meetings as well as national and international scientific conferences;
- Assist with educational tasks (e.g., assist labs, supervise bachelor and master students, PhD students, and internships);
- Participate actively in the activities of the Systems and Control research group such as grant acquisition and event organization.

We encourage collaboration and you will also benefit from a supportive local research community as well as a strong industry and research network.

**Requirements**:

- PhD (completed, or to be completed shortly) in Signal Processing, Machine Learning / Deep Learning, Applied Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.
- Demonstrated (e.g., through publications, code, projects, etc.) interest and experience with the field of signal processing, and at least one of the following fields: signal decomposition, machine learning / deep learning, tensor decomposition.
- Knowledge of at least one of the following techniques and interest in developing skills in the other two:

- Traditional decomposition techniques like Empirical Mode or Variational Mode Decomposition, Wavelet Decomposition, Principal and Independent Component Analysis.
- Machine learning and deep learning frameworks.
- Tensor-based methods for signal processing or machine learning decomposition (e.g., canonical polyadic decomposition, multilinear singular value decomposition, and tensor trains).
- Experience in programming (preferably in Python and Matlab).
- Proficiency in English (oral and written).
- Excellent communication skills, and ability to collaborate in a multi-disciplinary and team-oriented research environment.
