1. Postdoc position in computing science with focus on federated learning
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The rapid increase of autonomous systems, connected devices, and distributed applications pose challenges in dealing with petabytes of data in diverse resource-constrained environments. Federated machine learning (FML) is collaborative learning to handle these problems without sharing data with centralized servers. However, several emerging threats target FML training, learning, and inference to fail or mislead models at early learning rounds. Attackers aim to break trustworthiness under different threat models such as insiders-outsiders attacks, semi-honest or fully malicious participants, and attacks in training, learning, or inference phases. As a result, the learning models fail to provide acceptable performance. Therefore, this project aims to develop and implement trustworthy federated learning algorithms for scarce and diverse non-iid (independent identically distributed) data under non-standard and adversarial settings, which are ideally suited for constraint environments and edge computing infrastructures.

2. Post doctor (2 years) within Financial Mathematics
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The appointment is for two years at the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. The successful candidate is expected to take on the research question with enthusiasm and high ambitions, actively engage with collaborators, and to participate in the daily activities of the research environment. Starting date can be at Janury 1, 2023 with some flexibility (earlier or later is possible). Project description and working tasks Our investigation will build up on benchmark multi-factor models from the commodities futures pricing literature, but clearly distinguishing the different channels that can create seasonality, spot price and preferences. We will link the preference channel to utility-based determination of risk premia, using the well-known utility indifference pricing approach.

4. Postdoctoral Research Associate
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Gene isoforms play key roles in disease etiology and outcome. Despite that gene isoforms are involved in most biological processes, they are commonly ignored because we lack tools to understand them. In this project we will build new large-scale machine learning tools to extract gene isoform information from commonly existing single-cell RNA-seq data. The approach we consider is based on variational autoencoders and sequence models. The challenges lie in the data being extremely large, sparse, and noisy. The project will open doors into the currently most rapidly expanding field in biology. You will carry out formulation, implementation and testing of machine learning approaches to model and understand single-cell RNAseq data. You will present your findings, write manuscripts, help supervising students, and actively contribute to a collegial lab culture.

9. Postdoctoral position in molecular neuroscience project A
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
It is not known how stable silencing of alternative gene programs is maintained once a neuronal identity has been established. This project aims to understand fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying maintenance of differentiated serotonergic and dopaminergic neuronal identity and function. Both cell types are involved in several psychiatric disorders which take a huge toll on individuals and society. In addition, midbrain dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta constitute the key population whose degeneration is associated with Parkinson’s disease, further underscoring the clinical significance of the project. Work tasks will include but not be limited to designing, performing and analyzing experiments in collaboration with the supervisor. The post-doc will perform experiments with animals, cells and in vitro to address the role of long-term transcriptional repression for maintaining cellular identity and function in differentiated dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons of the CNS. The applicant is expected to exhibit a high level of autonomy and be able to independently and responsibly address the scientific questions of the project.
