Two Post-doc Positions in Statistical Machine Learning and Algorithmic Mechanism design at Xerox Research Centre Europe

The Machine Learning for Optimisation and Services group (MLS) at
Xerox Research Centre Europe in Grenoble, France, is expanding. We
conduct fundamental research in statistical machine learning and
algorithmic mechanism design, with applications to abstract knowledge
representation, content creation, recommendation systems and dynamic
pricing. Our research is the result of combining state-of-the-art
expertise in computational linguistics, large-scale data mining,
computational statistics and game theory.

We are currently looking for two very strong researchers in the following areas:
1. Statistical Machine Learning for Text Understanding and
Multi-document Summarisation:

2. Statistical Machine Learning and Algorithmic Mechanism design:
www.xrce.xerox.com/About-XRCE/Career-opportunities/Research-Scientist...
Applicants will have to demonstrate their capacity to define and/or
implement research plans, to carry out leading research through
collaboration with Xerox researchers and also the wider academic
community.

As a researcher you will be expected to formalize
challenging problems, develop new solutions, and work with business
and development teams to ensure that these solutions have a
significant impact. We work together with top academic partners and
expect our researchers to publish results in top-tier conferences and
journals.

Requirements:
- PhD in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics or Computer Science
- Strong publication record in top tier conferences and journals
- Evidence of implementing systems
- Strong English-language written and oral communications skills

The application deadline is August 15, 2010. Applications will be
considered after this date until the positions are filled.
