Kerstin Bunte

We offer a postdoctoral researcher position within the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. The position is funded by an NWO Vidi project named “mechanistic machine learning: combining the explanatory power of dynamic models with the predictive power of machine learning“. Systems of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) gained a tremendous amount of interest in recent years, demonstrating great performance for a wide variety of tasks, but typically only if they are trained on huge amounts of data. Moreover, frequently no insight into the decision making is available or required. Experts desire to know how their data can inform them about the natural processes being measured. Therefore we develop transparent and interpretable model- and data-driven hybrid methods that are demonstrated for applications in medicine and engineering. As a postdoc, you will work together with Kerstin Bunte and her team within the Intelligent Systems group, as well as a network of interdisciplinary collaborators in the UK and Europe from various fields, such as Computer Science, Engineering and Applied Mathematics.
