Research within the frame of the national effort on artificial intelligence, with emphasis on the increasing and significant connection between Machine learning and Optimal transport theory. This means that the research activities should focus on computational aspects of Optimal transport theory, such as development of effective and large-scale algorithms, motivated by applications in machine learning. Interest in exploring the recently discovered relation between optimal transport and the so-called Generative Adversarial Nets (GANs) is meritorious, and in investigating connections between Machine learning/Optimal transport theory and other areas that are studied at the department, like geometry of spaces of probability measures, Kähler geometry, and Statistical mechanics.
Job assignments

At first hand the duties involve research in mathematics within the scope of the position as well as supervision of the doctoral student and the postdocs that are connected to the position. You can pose your own research questions as well as the project descriptions for postdocs and doctoral student.

Your duties also include teaching up to 25%. You should display initiative in seeking challenges and opportunities for development in your work. You should be willing to challenge traditional ways of working, but also follow decisions and priorities. Many of your duties will be carried out in conjunction with others, so you must be willing to listen and cooperate.

If you have no courses in University teacher’s training you are supposed to take such courses within two years from the start of the employment. You are supposed to be able to teach in Swedish within two years. The university offers Swedish language courses.
