18 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience (CSN) group at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences is looking for a highly qualified and ambitious postdoctoral researcher to conduct research activities within the context of a recently awarded European project.  Current research of the group focuses on neural mechanisms of perception, multisensory integration, interactions between sensory and memory systems and conscious representation. These topics are addressed using a variety of methods, such as ensemble recordings and two-photon calcium imaging, optogenetics, computational modelling and advanced analysis of neural data. 

The objective of the post-doc appointment is to investigate in-band network telemetry (INT) solutions for evolving 6G systems with attention to 6G-optical integration. In this context, INT should support the collection of accurate end-to-end network state and QoS/QoE parameters, to support (proactive) network adaptation and near real time control.  Thus, new approaches and technologies will be developed and demonstrated for collecting, intelligently aggregating (e.g., using including autoencoders and other ML-based techniques) and processing monitoring information originated by user equipment and terminals, programmable HW-accelerated network elements, edge computing resources, and applications. Envisioned solutions should provide high monitoring accuracy along with low and fixed transmission overhead and ensure scalability/performance.

Would you enjoy working in a multidisciplinary research team to discover new molecules and materials that contribute to a more sustainable society? The Faculty of Science is looking for four ambitious postdoctoral researchers for its recently launched Research Priority Area “Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Molecules and Materials”. This new RPA AI4SMM combines several core strengths of the Faculty, including pioneering molecular and material science, broad knowhow and expertise in sustainability and circular economy development, and world-leading competence in data science and artificial intelligence.  

Are you passionate about machine learning, natural language processing, or computer vision? We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the research group led by Ivan Titov (http://ivan-titov.org/), part of the natural language processing group of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC).

Are you looking for a challenging, but rewarding job in a dynamic setting? The Integrative Model-based Cognitive Neuroscience (IMCN) Research Group within the Brain & Cognition department at the University of Amsterdam is looking for a postdoctoral researcher on the topic of decision-making mechanisms of deep brain networks.

Objectives: This project aims to develop a systematically solution for prediction pedestrians’ intention in typical driving scenes. More specifically, we take the perspective of an autonomous driving car and intent to predict the intention of the pedestrians in the scene. Especially, we focus on those intentions which are essential for the safety.

Our Strontium Quantum Gases Group is looking for a postdoc who wants to take part in leading the new Quantum Delta NL (QDNL) Ultracold Quantum Sensing Testbed. This group is headed by Prof. Florian Schreck and is part of the Quantum Gases & Quantum Information (QG&QI) cluster at the Institute of Physics (IoP) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). We exploit ultracold Sr gases for quantum sensing, the study of many-body physics and for quantum computing. We are collaborating with industry, startups and users to bring optical clocks to the market and explore new ways to build sensors, such as superradiant clocks or atom interferometers based on continuous atom lasers.

The goal of the project is investigating inclusion in academic institutions, focusing on the role of perspective integration. Perspective integration is a necessary component of an inclusive culture in academia; there is scholarly consensus on the critical role of effectively attending to and integrating different perspectives among institutional members for creating inclusive institutions. However, how such integration can emerge in a meaningful way and sustain over time is not well understood. Moreover, the current state of knowledge is deficient as it overlooks the multifaceted nature of perspective integration as well as how the different facets may have divergent inclusion-related effects depending on the power position and ethnic group membership of the involved individuals.

Are you a highly-motivated researcher looking for a post doc for performing state-of-the-art atomic physics experiments and developing quantum technology? Then we are looking for you. The hybrid atom-ion quantum systems lab, headed by Dr. Rene Gerritsma, is part of the Quantum Gases and Quantum Information (QGQI) cluster at the University of Amsterdam. The main focus of the group is to study the quantum dynamics in trapped ions while at the same time developing technology for emerging quantum applications, such as quantum computing and simulation.

The CCI group is looking for a Postdoc Researcher to work on the EU funded project SLICES-PP that support developments to build the future SLICES Research Infrastructure (RI) that will create European infrastructure for research on the future computer and network technologies. The CCI will focus on the SLICES-RI architecture development, experimental research automation, heterogeneous services interoperability and integration framework. Special attention will be given to the data management infrastructure, technical aspects of the FAIR data principles implementation, interoperability with EOSC and international testbeds.

We are looking for two researchers on the subject of ‘digital twins-oriented virtual research environment and infrastructure services’. The positions will be funded by the NWO project LTER-LIFE. LTER-LIFE is a large-scale research infrastructure in the making; it aims to provide a state-of-the-art e-infrastructure to study and predict how changes in climate and other human-induced pressures affect ecosystems and biodiversity.

The Nihil project studies cases of divergence between everyday and logical-mathematical reasoning under the hypothesis that they are a straightforward consequence of a tendency in human cognition to neglect empty representations (neglect-zero tendency). In the project we (i) develop logics which formally represent the neglect-zero tendency and rigorously study its impact on interpretation [logic]; (ii) explore possible conventionalizations of neglect-zero effects in specific linguistic domains [language]; and (iii) experimentally investigate the impact of neglect-zero in ordinary reasoning and its conjectured suspension, for example, in the context of a mathematical proof [cognition].

The Postdoctoral researcher will be hired by the Faculty of Science, Informatics Institute of the UvA, and will be sharing their time between the Faculty of Science, and the Faculty of Law, closely collaborating with two other postdoctoral researchers in the Trust RPA. The team will be supervised by the principal investigators of the TRUST RPA: Balázs Bodó, Associate Professor at the Institute of Information Law (IViR) at the Faculty of Law, Jan B. Engelmann, Professor of Neuroeconomics at the Amsterdam School of Economics, Theo Araujo, Associate Professor Communication in the Digital Society at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR), Tom van Engers, Professor in Legal Knowledge Management at the University of Amsterdam, and Marc Tuters, Assistant Professor in the New Media and Digital Culture Division of Media Studies at the Faculty of Humanities.

We are looking for a candidate to fill an open postdoctoral position in our group in photochemical synthesis of carbon-rich organic materials within our ERC-funded project TOPOCLIP.

The successful candidate will perform synthesis of curved carbon-rich organic molecules and use spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations to characterize the final synthesized organic materials.
