Nokia produces in a year more than 500 million mobile devices with rich communication, media and sensing capabilities. In addition to the device manufacturing being significant logistics operations producing terabytes of data, Nokia's emerging services, software and content platforms result in various streams of diverse data.
Data Insight team in Nokia Research Center Palo Alto focusing on the challenges and opportunities of such data. The team's approach combines the theoretical foundations of data analysis and computer science to hands-on skills on rapid development of scalable systems with practical relevance. The research topics include scalable mining of services and manufacturing, adaptivity in mobile terminals, and massively distributed information processing and collective mining in the planetary-scale networks of people and devices.
We are searching for Data Mining researchers with extensive expertise in machine learning and data mining in theory and in practice. You are motivated to take your research beyond data mining and machine learning, and creating usable prototype systems spurs you. You enjoy the art of programming and are able and keen in expressing your ideas fluently in variety of programming languages, such as C, Python, Haskell, Erlang and R. You are able explain and challenge different paradigms of data analysis and rethink even the foundations when needed.
