PhD Position, Data Science and Knowledge Discovery

At Data Science and Knowledge Discovery Department (DataSci) at Simula Metropolitan Center for Digital Engineering (Oslo, Norway), we are looking for a highly-motivated, self-driven and curious PhD student with a strong background in numerical linear algebra and machine learning. We work with unique data and research challenges provided by clinical partners. We are looking for a PhD student who will be part of an interdisciplinary and international research environment, and share our passion to develop impactful data science methods pushing the frontiers in multiple disciplines. The topic of the PhD research will lie at the intersection of multimodal learning, self-supervised learning, contrastive learning and (coupled) tensor decompositions. The project will focus on developing interpretable multimodal learning methods jointly analyzing data from abundant and scarce data modalities, exploring the nonlinearity-interpretability tradeoff. The deadline for applications: March 15, 2026 For more information, please see the job posting: https://www.simula.no/careers/job-openings/phd-position-in-multimodal- learning
