Postdoc Position in Spiking Networks

hace 1 mes


Bellaterra, España Centre de Visio per Computador A tiempo completo

Learning and Machine Perception Group (LAMP), led by Dr. Joost van de Weijer, performs research on continual learning, active learning, generative models, transfer learning, and self-supervised learning.

We are seeking** one postdoc researcher to join the Learning and Machine Perception (LAMP) team.**

The position is linked to the project **Towards sustainable AI: Continual Learning for Energy-Efficient Training of Deep Neural Networks (CL-2E), **funded by Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación and by European Union’s NextGeneration/PRTR funding programme in the framework of TED - Proyectos Transición Ecológica y Transición Digital 2021 call.

The project focuses on research lines that explore the potential of Continual AI to address the challenges of sustainable-AI. Research lines include (but are not limited to):

- Energy-efficient continual learning: this direction studies and aims to propose continual learning methods that are best adapted for the energy-efficient retraining of neural network when new data arrives.
- Data secure (privacy protective) continual learning: this direction is devoted to the study continual learning techniques that ensure the privacy of clients (including the unlearning of knowledge).
- Biologically inspired energy-efficient continual learning: this line is devoted to the development of a computational model that follows the continual learning in the human brain: separating the learning process in a slow and fast learner to optimally address the stability-plasticity trade-off. Potentially investigating spiking models for energy-efficient continual learning.

**Main responsibilities**:
**Conditions**:
The position will be located at Computer Vision Centre (Campus Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)
- We offer a full-time contract, a good environment, flexible working hours.
- We offer a full-time temporary contract for 6 months starting on June 1st 2024.
- Living allowance of 36000€/year (gross salary).

**The Computer Vision Center**:
The Computer Vision Center (CVC) is a non-profit research center established in 1995 by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). Its mission is to carry out cutting-edge research that has the highest international impact in the field of computer vision. It also promotes the transference of knowledge to industry and society.

Computer vision is an exciting research area and an omnipresent technology, essentially empowering machines with the sense of vision. The CVC is a successful marriage between knowledge and innovation. In addition to our cutting-edge scientific achievements, we have established lasting ties with industrial partners and created several spin-off companies.

**Deadline**: 27/04/2024**:
This contract is part of the R&D project TED2021-132513B-I00 funded by MCIU/AEI/ 10.13039/501100011033 and by the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR.
