Research Opportunities
I have opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to assist with various research projects. You can email me if you are interested in applying for a research assistant position under my supervision at McGill and Mila. Please attach your transcripts and CV. Applicants must have a reasonable background in coding with Python, R, etc, and should also be familiar with the theoretical/computational aspects of statistics/machine learning/data science.
