The aim is to develop sustainable collaborative projects between different organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors, based in Europe and the world. Exchanged staff benefit from new knowledge, skills and career development perspectives, while participating organisations increase their research and innovation capacities. Mobility through funded secondments The grant funds the mobility of seconded staff members from one month to one year. Staff involved should return to their sending organisations after the secondment, to pass on their knowledge. Open to ASEAN research entities Staff Exchanges are open to international consortia of universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other non-academic organisations. Legal entities in any of the ten ASEAN member countries – universities, research centres, companies, NGOs etc. – are eligible to join a MSCA Staff Exchange consortium. Learn more about this opportunity now The next call for application is due to open on 27 March 2025 with a deadline of 8 October 2025.

Call for Expression of Interest for MSCA Postdoctoral fellowships at UNIGE – N. 7 Optimization and machine learningHosting InformationOffer Deadline: Mon, 5 May 2025 - 13:00Organisation / Company: University of GenoaLink: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/hosting/call-expression-interest-msca-postdoctoral-fellowships-unige-n-7-optimization-andUniversity of Genoa, UNIGE, located in Genoa, ITALY, welcomes postdoctoral researchers of any nationality, with an excellent track record, to apply to the European Commission Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025. Our University has been beneficiary of several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. The Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship is one of funding scheme of the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Research & Innovation programme, dedicated to excellent research promoting international mobility, as well as interdisciplinary and intersectoral exchanges. MSCA fellowship grant provides a competitive salary plus mobility and family allowances if applicable, as well as a contribution to cover research, training and networking costs. The research projects will have 2- or 3-years duration. Selected candidates will be provided with special support for proposal writing and development. The University of Genoa will organize in May the fifth edition of the Masterclass MSCA@UniGe. Selectedcandidate researchers will have the opportunity to attend a 2-days online intensive training and coaching course on how to write a successful proposal. This masterclass is a pathway of support to candidates and their supervisors in preparing project proposal, including prescreening activity of the draft proposals and the organisation of dedicated B2B meetings, by the European Research Office of UniGe, National Contact Point and other experts.The masterclass will take place on May/June2025.More information: Masterclass MSCA@UniGeMSCA domain: Mathematics (MAT)Research Project DescriptionI work in the field of optimization for machine learning and inverse problems. My main interest is the development and the application of mathematical optimization techniques to enhance the performance, efficiency, and interpretability of models and algorithms. Optimization plays a crucial role in the of training machine learning models. The goal is to minimize an empirical error, which is an approximation of the true objective function, perturbed by stochastic noise. In modern applications, the problem is often high dimensional, and most successful optimization methods are based on simple iterative procedures, such as gradient descent or stochastic gradient descent. I am interested in many challenges related to the behavior of gradient based methods such as: convergence in the nonconvex setting, implicit regularization properties, scalable, adaptive, asynchronous and distributed implementations.Research GroupMaLGa is a joint research center between computer science and mathematics. Its activities span a wide range of diverse but connected topics, including Computer Vision, Computational Harmonic Analysis, Data Science, Statistical Learning and Optimization.ApplicationAn expression of interest shall be sent to prof.
