Subject: Research Position, Applied Math, NIST


The Applied and Computational Mathematics Division (ACMD) of the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) anticipates an
opening for an applied mathematician for our Boulder, Colorado lab. A
successful candidate will (a) perform independent research in the
mathematical foundations of artificial intelligence with emphasis on
uncertainty quantification of machine learning inference, (b) study
and apply techniques from differential geometry and active subspaces
to the analysis of results of large-scale simulations or measured
data, (c) collaborate with NIST researchers to develop models and
computational solutions supporting innovations in measurement of
physical quantities, communication technologies, and material science,
and (d) write research reports and make presentations at conferences
and workshops. Applicants will be expected to have a Ph.D. degree or
equivalent experience.

NIST is a Federal measurement science and engineering laboratory with
state-of-the-art research facilities and excellent benefits. For
information on what it's like to work at NIST, see
https://www.nist.gov/careers/working- nist. US citizenship is
required. NIST is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Data Science for Assisted Living Care


We welcome applications to fill a postdoctoral position on statistical
data processing in assisted living technologies from candidates with
scientific computing, applied mathematics or computational statistics
background. The post entails primarily independent research work but
also some collaboration with other researchers from the New
Technologies of Care Centre, a joint venture of the Schools of
Engineering, Informatics, and Medicine. You will contribute to the
research, analysis and development of randomised sketching algorithms
for streaming sensor data in the context of online model learning. The
goal of the project is to identify structure in streaming data from
various sensors and capture it in a "data sketch", a low-dimensional
structure that preserves the main features of the original data with
respect to a given computational task. This utility is necessary to
enable online model learning from data captured over prolonged periods
of times e.g. months and years as in the setting of assisted
living. In this paradigm, model learning and decision making have to
be done at the edge, according to privacy rules, and it is thus
imperative that these computations are kept tractable whilst streaming
data accumulate to prohibitively-large dimensions. The post holder is
expected to work closely with the PI to design the sketching
algorithms subject to different specifications (memory, speed and
complexity constraints), and analyse their performance theoretically,
computationally and with real data.

The initial appointment is for 18 months but there is a high
likelihood of extension subject to performance.
