Postdoctoral Fellowships in Machine Learning, University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia
Job Summary
Job Description
The first call for applications for SMASH postdoctoral Fellowships, co-funded by Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions, is now open! It offers excellent research opportunities that revolve around applications of machine learning to the fields of climate research, linguistics, precision medicine and fundamental physics.
In this call, SMASH aims to hire 15 fellows who will be hosted in five Slovenian institutions. They can also spend up to 1/3 of their fellowship duration at one of our international academic partners (including top EU centres like Gravitation and Astroparticle Physics at the University of Amsterdam, and world-leading institutions like CERN and UC Berkeley) or at some of the most successful Slovenian companies.
Each fellowship offers excellent working conditions, access to top infrastructure (including the peta supercomputer Vega), substantial research and travel funds and a salary that is significantly higher than local costs of living.
In order to apply, fellows need to contact their desired supervisor who will assist them in preparing short research proposals and provide them with the necessary letters of support from the host institutions (for more information see: https://smash.ung.si/).
The application deadline is April 15th.

Fellows will be entitled to the statutory benefits granted by national regulations and hosting institution rules for working hours, flexi-time, paid annual leave, sick leave, parental leave, social security coverage, pension insurance and family allowance.
