The Computer Science Department at the University of California Davis invites applications for a Post Doctoral Research Associate position in the area of data mining and machine learning.

We seek an individual with background and expertise in network analysis, unsupervised learning and outlier detection. We are particularly interested in those individuals with an interest in exploring the use of these techniques for autonomous knowledge discovery. Specifically, this position will explore identification of variables that influence adversarial behavior as part of a recently funded ONR project. Strong and solid mathematical and statistical skills are necessary as are a background in data-mining algorithms and excellent programming skills. In addition, applicants with a background and/or an interest in cognitive science are encouraged apply, but this background is not required. Candidates will have the opportunity to interact with a multi-disciplinary team including the Office of Naval Research.
