Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

The Simons Collaboration on the Physics of Learning and Neural Computation is searching for a Postdoctoral Fellow to perform scientific research on AI, working in the research group of Collaboration PI Miranda C. N. Cheng at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.

Scientific Mission: The Simons Collaboration aims to develop a deeper scientific understanding of artificial intelligence and break AI out of its black box using insights and techniques from mathematics and theoretical physics. The fellow is expected to drive this endeavour through a combination of theory development and numerical experimentation, employing theoretical and numerical tools to understand how AI systems learn, compute, and scale. We also welcome candidates who wish to propose new research directions aligned with these goals.
