Dr. Patrick Shafto’s lab in the Department of Math and Computer Science at
Rutgers University in Newark will be accepting applications for PhD
positions starting Fall 2023. Positions are fully funded and include a
stipend.
The PhD program is a unique combination of training in pure mathematics
with research in machine learning. Graduates of the lab have gone on to
positions in industry and academia.
Dr. Shafto’s Cognitive and Data Sciences lab studies machine learning and
human learning with tools from probabilistic machine learning, pure
mathematics, and behavioral experiments. More information about the
research can be found at http://shaftolab.com/. Recent papers and preprints
represent current research directions.
Interested applicants should reach out to Dr. Shafto describing their
research interests and experience. Application information should be
submitted to the Mathematical Sciences PhD program through the Rutgers
website.
