Doctoral student in Computer Science (Machine Learning)

The School of Science and Technology at Örebro University is looking for a doctoral student in machine learning for the doctoral program in computer science, concluding with a doctoral degree (PhD in Computer Science).
Start date: Summer / Fall 2025.

The research topic for this position is machine learning applied to one of the following focus areas of the Adaptive and Interpretable Learning Systems research group:

  • Reinforcement learning, focusing on task priorities, composability of tasks and policies, constraints, and transfer.
  • Machine learning for counterfactual prediction and treatment effect estimation with large-scale observational data and deep learning models, focusing on countering selection bias, causal learning, identification of causal and irrelevant factors, and disentanglement of underlying variables.
  • End-to-end learning for inverse optimization, focusing on identifying underlying cost models, learning from noisy observations, non-stationary and multi-modal data, differentiating through black-box optimizers and differentiable optimization, and representing uncertainty.
  • Deep generative modeling of bio-medical data, focusing on identification of unknown chemicals/environmental pollutants from mass spectrograph data, predicting toxicity of compounds, in-silico models for replacing the need for animal studies, and representation learning for transfer between in-vivo and in-silico models.
  • Spatio-temporal modeling of sensor and robotic data with probabilistic models, focusing on Gaussian Process Implicit Surface models, tomography data, sparse models, and model constraints.

Applicants need to indicate their topic preferences in the application.

The position will be funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), which is Sweden's largest individual research program ever, addressing research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans.

Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by J. A. Stork (principal supervisor).

The program and the doctoral studentship

The doctoral program consists of courses and an independent research project that you will present in a doctoral thesis. The program concludes with a doctoral degree and consists of 240 credits, which corresponds to four years of full-time study.

The graduate school within WASP provides the skills needed to analyze, develop, and contribute to the interdisciplinary area of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and software.

The place on the program is linked to a full-time doctoral studentship for the duration of the study program. More information on doctoral studentships can be found in the Regulations Handbook.

The initial salary for a doctoral studentship is SEK 31 300 a month.

Entry requirements and selection

For admission to doctoral studies, applicants must meet both general entry requirements and specific entry requirements. Applicants meet the general entry requirements if they:

  • have been awarded a second-cycle qualification,
  • have satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or
  • have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.

Applicants meet the specific entry requirements for doctoral studies in computer science if they have been awarded a Degree of Master of Science in Engineering or a one-year Master's degree from a program within the subject field or related subjects.

A successful applicant should:

  • be autonomous and show strong and independent problem-solving skills and critical analytical abilities,
  • be fluent in spoken and written English,
  • possess excellent programming skills,
  • have a strong background in machine learning, computer science, and mathematics.

Experience with deep learning and the relevant software frameworks is another valuable merit. Prior knowledge in machine learning, reinforcement learning, deep generative models, Gaussian processes, probabilistic methods, and sensor data processing are beneficial.

At Örebro University, we expect each member of staff to be open to development and change; take responsibility for their work and performance; demonstrate a keen interest in collaboration; and show respect for others by adopting a constructive and professional approach.

Örebro University actively pursues equal opportunities and gender equality as well as a work environment characterized by openness, trust, and respect.
