About this position
Three positions are open in the group of Prof. Valeria Vitelli at the University of Oslo, Norway, within the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology (OCBE). The group is seeking two PhD candidates and one postdoctoral researcher to work on cutting-edge research at the intersection of biostatistics, machine learning, probabilistic modelling, and genetics. The PhD projects focus on developing new methods for tensor analysis with complex latent dependencies and generative models for discrete sequence data, leveraging advanced machine learning and Bayesian inference techniques. The postdoctoral position is linked to a recently funded project by the Research Council of Norway, focusing on Bayesian models for unsupervised learning, particularly in probabilistic recommender systems. OCBE offers a vibrant research environment with strong international collaborations and close connections to Integreat - Norwegian Centre for Knowledge-driven Machine Learning and dScience – Centre for Computational and Data Science. The positions are fully funded for three years each. Applicants should have a strong background in statistics, mathematics, computer science, or related fields, with experience in machine learning, probabilistic modeling, or genetics being highly desirable. The application deadline is April 19th, 2026. For more information and to apply, visit the University of Oslo vacancies page.
