Postdoctoral Position at Mila and Concordia University

I am currently seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join my group at Mila and Concordia University for a one-year position, with the possibility of extension.

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

Application

Interested candidates are invited to send informal inquiries with CV and research interests to eugene.belilovsky@concordia.ca
