Postdoctoral Researcher for SOSFood ProjectAssociate Professor Paulo Félix is looking for a skilled and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Researcher to join the SOSFood project. SOSFood has received €3.9M funding from Horizon Europe programme (Cluster 6 Call "Innovative governance, environmental observations and digital solutions in support of the Green Deal") and aims to design, develop and validate data-driven AI-based tools to transform the food system to be more productive, inclusive, sustainable and resilient. The project involves leading academic and industry partners from nutrition, health, computer science, environmental sciences, policy and economics, including all stakeholders of the food system.
ResponsibilitiesAs a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will contribute to the development of new methods to model the coupling and interaction among the food, social, political, legal, economic, environmental and climate systems. You will take into account the multiple dependencies among these different systems, approaching the problem as a sort of multi-output or multi-task learning. Importantly, the assumption that the spatio-temporal dependence structure is constant throughout the sampling region is clearly violated in the sort of scenarios to be modelled. Ultimately, the interpretability of the resulting models is demanded to enable better-informed decision-making involving all food system actors.
Selection CriteriaFor this position, we are looking for a researcher with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics, Physics or Computer Engineering with a PhD in a related discipline. An in-depth knowledge of Machine Learning and related research methods and applications is essential, as well as strong programming skills using platforms such as MATLAB, R or Python. Excellent written and communication skills in English are also required.

It includes medical care coverage and work accident insurance through the Spanish Health System, as well as unemployment and pension benefits.The estimated starting date will be from February-March 2025.Location: Santiago de Compostela (A Coruña, Spain).Funds to attend international scientific conferences within the framework of the SOSFood project (101134894, HORIZON-CL6-2023-GOVERNANCE-01).El anuncio original lo puedes encontrar en Kit Empleo: https://www.kitempleo.es/empleo/129858371/postdoctoral-researcher-prediction-and-optimization-sustainability-indicators-join-the-european-project-%e2%80%9csosfood%e2%80%9d-ivk-452-santiago-compostela/?utm_source=html
