Pos-doutorate in construction of causal models REF:22PDR001

  • Added on February 2022
  • Expires on June 30, 2022

See the position requirements and apply
Description Requirements Documentation Additional Information Contact

Project title: construction of causal models from raw data for multcriteria decision making

Supervisor name: A. Delbem, A. Saraiva, a C4AI-AgriBio coPI

Supervisor department: Poli-USP, ICMC-USP, other USP Institute associated to C4AI-AgriBio

Research group: C4AI-AgriBio

Number of months: 12 months

Positions: Up to 6 positions

The candidate will collaborate with researchers from the project ‘AgriBio Challenge’ of the Center for Artificial Intelligence at the University of São Paulo. A summary of the Center and projects can be found at the C4AI website ( https://c4ai.inova.usp.br)

The project deals with agribusiness and social data, mainly involving low-income producers and consumers, focusing on building models that benefit the generation of mechanisms and decision-making by managers in favor of increasing food security and quality.

The applicant will contribute to the main objectives of the project through the following activities:

  • Treatment of large-scale structured and unstructured data;
  • Development of computational methods for automatically constructing (explainable) models based on graphs;
  • Development of methods for testing causality of the learned relationships from models;
  • Selection of models based on multiple criteria or objectives.

This project is suitable for a candidate with a PhD degree and a focus on innovations in Artificial Intelligence with the potential for socio-economic impact. The candidate needs to know at least programming in C or R or Python, in addition to training in one or more of the following areas:

  • inferential statistics (classical or Bayesian), or
  • multi-criteria decision making, or
  • data mining; or
  • evolutionary computation, or
  • optimization.

Please send your CV and other additional information as indicated in the “Apply” button below.
