---|---|
School | Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences |
Department/Area | Computer Science |
Position Description |
I’m always looking for longer terms postdocs (e.g. 2 years) that will be a good fit for research directions in the lab. You can get a sense of what we do by looking at my webpage finale.seas.harvard.edu and our group’s webpage https://dtak.github.io/ — we work on probabilistic models, reinforcement learning, and interpretability + human factors. Our websites are also a good place to learn more about us.
About Us Finale Doshi-Velez is a Gordon McKay Professor in Computer Science at the Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. She completed her MSc from the University of Cambridge as a Marshall Scholar, her PhD from MIT, and her postdoc at Harvard Medical School. Her interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, healthcare, and interpretability. For more information, please visit: https://finale.seas.harvard.edu |
Basic Qualifications |
I expect Postdocs to have completed their PhD in machine learning, math, stats, physics, or some other technical area.
|
Additional Qualifications |
Postdocs should also already have significant experience in some area of statistical inference/optimization; you will have the chance to mentor both undergraduate and graduate students in these areas (as it relates to joint projects).
A commitment to support diversity, equity, and inclusion/belonging in an academic setting is a must. |
Special Instructions |
Please contact me through the joining section on my website to learn about what specific openings I have.
