Three ML Tenure-Track Faculty positions at University of Montreal & Mila

[Simon Lacoste-Julien]

The Department of Computer Science and Operations Research of University of Montreal is seeking application for three full-time tenure-track faculty positions (some of which can even be at the level of associate or full professor), in areas related to machine learning and its applications (e.g., healthcare, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics). These positions come with membership to Mila, one of the largest academic research group in deep learning worldwide and combining the strengths of University of Montreal, McGill University, HEC and Polytechnique in a common location, with nearby access to many industrial research labs like FAIR, Microsoft Research or Borealis AI.

See more information and how to apply on the Mila page :

Feel free to email me for informal inquiries (use "MLJOB:" in your subject line) or approach me during the NeurIPS conference next week (many Mila professors will be there -- see https://mila.quebec/en/mila/team/ ) or visit the Mila booth at NeurIPS.

Best,

Simon

Some additional notes:

* The selected candidates could be eligible for a Canadian CIFAR
AI (CCAI) Chair. More information about the program here:

* Montreal is home to a very active ML community, including university-led institutes such as Mila that received considerable federal funding, industry-led ML research groups (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Samsung, Borealis, and several more), as well as a thriving ML startup community. Montreal is a historic and cosmopolitan city, home to no less than six universities, and considered one of the best cities for students.
