The Helsinki Doctoral Education Network in Information and Communications Technology (HICT) is a joint initiative by Aalto University and the University of Helsinki, the two leading universities within this area in Finland. The network involves at present 60 professors and over 200 doctoral students, and the participating units graduate altogether more than 40 new doctors each year.
A PhD position is available at the Statistical Machine Learning and Bioinformatics Group, Aalto University, Finland. Finding and understanding what is relevant in big data is challenging and needs support from novel computational methods. You will develop new probabilistic modeling and machine learning based methods for exploratory data analysis and visualization, applied to big data domains such as scientific publications or online news. Join us to create new ways to explore big data.
