and cognitive science.
He/she will interact with our colleagues at
CSEM's
microrobotics department, with whom we are
building learning robots.
Possible start: May 2004. End: December 2004,
with possibility of prolongation for another year or more.
Salary: roughly SFR 72,000 per year, or US$ 56,700 as of Jan 2004; low taxes.

IDSIA's research focuses on
optimal universal search algorithms
(e.g., OOPS),
artificial
neural networks,
universal
predictors and reinforcement learners,
complexity and generalization issues,
unsupervised learning and information theory,
forecasting,
artificial ants and
combinatorial optimization,
evolutionary computation.
IDSIA is small but visible, competitive, and influential.
Its algorithms hold the world records for
several important operations research benchmarks (e.g.,
see NATURE 406(6791):39-42 for
an overview of IDSIA's artificial ant algorithms).
Some of IDSIA's results were reviewed not only in
science journals such as Nature, Science, Scientific American,
but also in the popular press, including TIME magazine, the New York Times,
der SPIEGEL, and many others.

Switzerland is a good place for scientists.
It is the origin of special relativity (1905) and
World Wide Web (1990), is associated with 105 Nobel laureates,
boasts by far the most Nobel prizes per capita (450% of US value),
the highest citation impact factor, and the highest supercomputing
capacity per capita.

IDSIA is located near the beautiful city of Lugano in Ticino
(pictures),
the scenic southernmost province of Switzerland.
Milano, Italy's center of fashion and finance, is 1 hour away, Venice 3 hours.
