Two fully-funded positions, one PhD and one MSc, are available in the University of Victoria’s Department of Computer Science, for September 2023.
Some core focus areas include:
(a) online learning/sequential prediction, including (but not limited to) theoretically principled methods for representation learning and lifelong learning.
(b) the intersection of mechanism design and machine learning;
(c) the intersection of machine learning with fairness, privacy, and other societally important considerations.
Successful candidates will have freedom to explore other theoretically-motivated research topics within machine learning.
An ideal candidate at the PhD level has a Master’s degree specializing in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or Statistics. Related, mathematically-oriented degrees such as e.g. Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics also will be viewed favorably. Some previous exposure to machine learning is essential.
An ideal candidate at the Master’s level has a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or related mathematically-oriented areas, with some undergraduate research experience in machine learning.

** University of Victoria **
The University of Victoria is in Victoria, BC, Canada, just across the water from Vancouver. It has quite possibly the best climate in all of Canada, with temperate winters and summers, considerably less cloudy days and rainfall than nearby Vancouver and Seattle, and a beautiful downtown within cycling distance of a lush green campus.
