Postdoctoral Position Opening

Postdoctoral Position at Mila and Concordia University

I am currently recruiting PhD students, PostDocs, Master's students, and PhD interns

Research Focus

The research topic is flexible but should align with the ongoing work in our group. Potential areas of focus include:

Large-Scale Distributed Learning: Topics such as communication efficiency, decentralization, asynchrony, and model parallelism. Relevant works: arXiv:2406.02613, arXiv:2505.23725, arXiv:2306.08289, arXiv:2507.09029
Learned Optimizers: Relevant works: arXiv:2506.10315, arXiv:2406.00153, arXiv:2501.12670
Federated Learning on the Edge: Relevant work: arXiv:2306.03937
Continual Learning for LLMs.

Other Topics in Efficient Training: Including scaling laws, distributed reinforcement learning, model distillation, architecture search, long context, and hyperparameter transfer.

Application

Interested candidates are invited to send informal inquiries to eugene.belilovsky@concordia.ca
