Open Postdoctoral Position

The School of Engineering and Sciences at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow within the Research Group in Sustainable Artificial Intelligence. The successful candidate will be engaged in developing research activities in the domain of Neural Architecture Search, Machine Learning, Multi-objective Optimisation and Natural Language Processing, and will be working in close collaboration with Prof. Raúl Monroy at Campus Estado de México.

Research Issues/(research project):

The successful candidate will be involved in one or more of the following research projects:

• Neural Architecture Search for Image Restoration
• AI for the automated generation of literary micro-fictions
• The use of Large Language Models for identifying a tendency of suicide in authors of written short texts
• AI alignment

Keywords: Neural Architecture Search, NLP, Transfer Learning, Deep Learning

Qualifications:

The successful candidate must hold a Ph.D. degree in Computing or affine Scientific carriers and have proven research track record in machine learning or multi-objective optimisation. Previous postdoctoral experience is an advantage, but not a must. You need to have solid research and technical background in control theory, instrumentation, and power electronics, including practical experience with experimental laboratory installations. System design, optimization, modeling, simulations, control system development as well as practical realizations are all expected as part of the work. Previous teaching experience and supervision of undergraduate student’s project and/or Ph.D. students are all beneficial assets.

About Tecnológico de Monterrey (tec.mx)

Tecnológico de Monterrey, the leading private University in México, continues strengthening and renewing the commitment with its research strategy, making research an institutional priority to: significantly contribute to the quality of its teaching-learning process (Educate), transform the scientific and technological knowledge into innovative solutions that benefit society (Innovate) and transform, through knowledge generation and transfer, impacting the community in economic, political and social aspects. Aimed to fulfill these objectives, Tecnológico de Monterrey has designed an action-research model, named Research that Transforms Lives, based on a collaborative, interdisciplinary and open innovation ecosystem, with participation of researchers, teachers, professional and graduate students. Research that Transforms Lives objective is to be an engine that generates innovative solutions for the economic and social development of Mexico. 40 Research Groups with Strategic Focus have been established where the scientific activity starts from a specific challenge, which is connected with a discipline and, more precisely, connected with specific topics and approaches. The entire scientific publication effort is done having in mind an application context, either to support the productive sector or to satisfy the communities’ social demands on issues such as health, food, education, housing, transportation, business, public policy, among others.
