Postdoctoral positions in Machine Learning
Our research group in the field of Wirtschaftsinformatik (Management Information Systems) headed by Professor Dr Stefan Feuerriegel conducts research on artificial intelligence. For a project in the area of Artificial Intelligence for Businesses the group is looking to fill postdoctoral positions in Machine Learning.
Project background
Machine learning based automation of information extraction from business relevant documents is a fast-growing market. Many administrative processes in companies still begin with manually copy-pasting information from documents into computer systems.
BLP Digital AG is an ETH Spin-off company from our chair and industry leader in the field of information extraction from documents. BLP automates repetitive back office tasks with Artificial Intelligence. That means no more manually processing of incoming invoices, delivery notes, or purchase orders.
For a joint project to further develop the extraction technology to apply it to other document types we are looking for exceptional engineers who are driven to find simple solutions to complex machine learning problems.
Job description
You will work in close collaboration with leading Swiss and European companies with high volumes of data and diverse problems. The tasks are diverse and non-repetitive, building a new and innovative system using state of the art concepts and infrastructure. In addition, you will be closely working with the BLP team and discuss machine learning, data pipelines, deployment and many more topics with experts and talents working at university, in industry, and in other start-up ventures.
We offer a competitive salary in accordance with ETH standards and an interesting research and development agenda. Our research is driven by the strong desire to develop artificial intelligence for management in businesses, public organizations or healthcare. For this purpose, we draw upon recent advances in artificial intelligence and statistical modeling in order to gain deep insights. The close collaboration with our spin-off company offers the unique chance of applying research in practice.
