Brief Summary

Two post-doctoral positions are available. The positions are funded by a generous NRF Fellowship for AI awarded to my group.

The goal of the project is to develop statistical and computational guarantees for algorithms performing causal inference. While there has been a long history of study on causal reasoning, the traditional AI viewpoint is mostly non-algorithmic. Our aim is to build quantitative understanding of fundamental problems in causal hypothesis testing, experiment design, and structure/parameter learning that are motivated by current applications in econometrics and computational biology involving high-dimensional models. Please check my publications for some recent work along these lines.

How to Apply?

I am looking for postdoctoral candidates with strong publication records either in theoretical computer science and statistics or in causal inference. Please email me at arnabb@nus.edu.sg regarding your interest, along with your CV and names of two references. The deadline for applications is March 31, 2021.
