The School of Applied Mathematics at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EMAp) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, invites applications for one open-rank faculty position in Data Science to strengthen and complement our existing research activity in this area. We are looking for established researchers (associate/full professor) or outstanding young researchers (assistant professor) who have demonstrated research and teaching expertise in Data Science. We will prioritize applicants whose research focuses on natural language processing, computer vision, reinforcement learning, network science and data mining, but we also welcome applications from other fields in Data Science. The successful candidate is expected to develop an externally funded research programme, publish in high-impact venues, supervise research (postgraduate) students, teach at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and provide service to the department and institution. In general, teaching duties consist of two courses per year, one at Undergraduate and one at Graduate level. Peer-reviewed external funding is expected to be obtained and sustained. Industrial partnerships are also strongly encouraged.

Call for 5 open-rank positions at IT:U — a new public university just founded in Austria. One of the focuses is Theoretical Foundations of Data Science — engaging with areas such as mathematics of data science, statistical learning, or specific topics like topological data analysis and causality. The concept of “Data Science” here is very broadly defined. The positions are attractive, and include permanent (i.e. recurring) funding for a number of PhD students and post-docs, depending on rank.
