The Data Science Chair at JMU Würzburg as a member of the Center for AI and Data Science (CAIDAS) offers two positions for doctoral researchers (m/w/d) in the area of machine learning.
Both positions will work within the BigData@Geo2 project, the followup of the successful BigData@Geo project [1], that provides machine-learning-aided decision support for agricultural measures in the light of regional climate change. This includes prediction of crop yields and enabling proactive agricultural strategies.
In the first position, you will build machine and deep learning improved climate models that provide a basis for the prediction of regional climate change and agricultural risk assessment, allowing agriculture to react in time by applying appropriate policies to deal with the challenge of changing climate-related conditions. This work focuses on the use and extension of state of the art deep learning architectures such as transformers to solve important downstream tasks such as increasing climate model resolution, identifying relevant climate indicators, integrating additional ecosystem information, and transfer function.
The second position focuses on natural language processing and will allow you to work on data from many small companies in the form of historical yearbooks, as well as general information from local newspapers or social media discussing local climate events. Using this data, you will develop new methods for discovering climate, ecosystem and agriculturally relevant events that assist in the overarching goal of BigData@Geo2 of assessing the economic viability of agricultural decisions, such as which crops to grow in future seasons, or predicting crop yield.
Payment is at the level of E13 according to the German federal wage agreement scheme (TV-L). Candidates are expected to have a strong background in computer science and mathematics, with a specialisation in machine learning and interest in the topic of one of the positions. Prior knowledge in the field of deep learning in one of the subject areas is advantageous.
Please send your application (letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, academic records) at your earliest convenience, but no later than August 25th, 2023, to Prof. Dr. Andreas Hotho (dmir-jobs(a)uni-wuerzburg.de). You are welcome to contact us on the same address for additional details.

Hi all,
We have an opening for either a postdoc or a PhD student: https://www.leuphana.de/en/university/open-positions/research-teaching/eng-…
As postdoc, you could bring your own topic that you motivate in a research statement. As a PhD student, you’d work on one of the core topics of the group dealing with spatiotemporal machine learning (see ml3.leuphana.de/ulf.html).
Let me know in case you have questions.
Best,
Ulf
Dear all,

Please apply NOW to take part in the autumn school: https://forms.gle/iLt3Nt2ivuqHmC2H9
The autumn school will take place at Schloss Dagstuhl and will be free of charge. Thanks to our generous sponsors, there will be no fees, no costs for accommodation, and free full-service meals at Schloss Dagstuhl. Please be aware that we can not pay for your travel costs.
We have room for approx. 20 participants. Therefore, we have to ensure that students have a particular background and context knowledge in information retrieval and/or information foraging. We ask you kindly to describe your motivation and background in a short paragraph. The deadline to send this application is 15 August 2023. We will check every application and give feedback by 18 August 2023, but we reserve the right to decline applications due to overbooking or a lack of topical match to the autumn school.
Hope to see you at Dagstuhl.
Please don't hesitate if you have any questions and check out the program and topics of the autumn school:
