The Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at Umeå University is seeking a postdoctoral fellow in generalization theory of deep neural networks. The fellowship is for two years full time with starting date September 1, 2021, or by agreement. Stochastic optimization plays a key role in data driven decision making, where problems are often high-dimensional and of black-box nature. The focus of this project is to develop new theory and algorithms for the area, with a potential emphasis on stochastic derivative-free algorithms that combine dimensionality reduction and stochastic optimization. As an application, the applicant will interact with a multidisciplinary research team focused on optimizing the ambulance care in Sweden. The appointed candidate will get the opportunity to carry out collaborative research according to a mutually agreed research plan. The postdoc will become a part of the research group in mathematical statistics and be offered the opportunity to present the research at international conferences and to participate in joint workshops and seminars. This postdoctoral fellowship is financed by a tax-exempt scholarship from The Kempe Foundations that amounts to 312 000 SEK per year.
