OrbDB Labs AB

What we're building OrbDB is building data infrastructure for AI reliability. For every prediction a model makes, the platform determines whether the model is sufficiently certain for the result to be acted on automatically or whether the case should be routed to a human reviewer. Today’s AI production systems are unable to distinguish which of their predictions are trustworthy. We are building the layer that allows organizations to automate the cases where automation is statistically justified, and to escalate the rest with confidence. OrbDB is founded and led by researchers with deep expertise in the underlying methods. The role You will work on the models that sit at the center of our platform. Our work is built around Graph Neural Networks, and the questions you will engage with are the ones that sit beneath the surface of any serious deep learning system: questions about architecture, training behaviour, optimization, and the relationship between what a model is doing and what we expect it to do. This is a role for someone who knows the fundamentals of deep learning well enough to reason about them from first principles, not from tutorials. You will work closely with our research-led founding team, and the questions you take on will move between the practical and the foundational, often within the same week. Unlike other AI startups, OrbDB builds on a mathematical foundation. So do the teams behind it. OrbDB Labs is a place where solid ideas and good taste matter more than loud voices. Specifically, you will: Train, evaluate, and improve the models that power the platform. Diagnose model behavior at a level deeper than metrics, and propose changes grounded in the underlying mathematics. Make principled choices about model design as required. Work alongside the engineering team to deliver research-grade models into a production system that customers can rely on. What we are looking for 2-4 years of experience working with deep learning models in a serious technical setting, whether in research, industry, or a combination. If you are close to that range and the rest of the role fits, we would still like to hear from you. A real command of the fundamentals of deep learning. You should be comfortable reading a paper, implementing it, and reasoning about why a model is or is not behaving as expected. Strong engineering skills. You write code that others can build on, and you understand that a model is only useful once it runs reliably. Fluency with the modern deep learning toolchain, particularly PyTorch. Genuine interest in the statistical foundations of what we are building. Concepts like Conformal Prediction and calibration should be ones you are eager to understand deeply. Useful, but not required Experience with Graph Neural Networks specifically, or with the libraries that support them (PyTorch Geometric, DGL, or equivalent). A graduate degree in a quantitatively rigorous field, or equivalent depth acquired through other means. Open-source contributions in the ML or deep learning ecosystem, particularly to production-grade libraries. Experience moving models from research code into production systems. This is a Stockholm-based hybrid role. Candidates must be living in or willing to relocate to the Stockholm area before starting.

CHALMERS TEKNISKA HÖGSKOLA AKTIEBOLAG

Chalmers University of Technology invites applications from internationally distinguished professors to join the Academic Excellence Visiting Professor Programme 2027–2028. This highly selective university-wide initiative is designed to attract outstanding professors whose academic excellence, leadership and international networks can contribute to the development of world-leading research and education environments at Chalmers. About Chalmers and our vision Chalmers’ long‑term vision is to be “a globally outstanding university of technology, for a better world”, with academic quality at the highest European level and highly effective utilisation of research results in society. We are currently implementing a group strategy and major investments in excellence‑driven research to become a world‑class technical university by 2041, including strengthened base funding and outstanding conditions for research. Our campus and surrounding ecosystem form a dynamic innovation environment where researchers, students and external partners co-create sustainable solutions for industry and society. The Academic Excellence Visiting Professor Programme is a strategic component of Chalmers’ internationalisation strategy. The programme aims to strengthen academic excellence by attracting internationally recognised academic leaders who can contribute to the long-term development of Chalmers’ research, education and international collaborations. Beyond individual academic achievements, the programme seeks to create lasting value through strategic partnerships, scientific leadership, mentorship and the development of strong academic environments. The Visiting Professor role As a Visiting Professor, you will contribute to the development of Chalmers’ academic environments through research leadership, international collaboration, mentorship, doctoral education and strategic academic engagement. Activities may include initiating new research collaborations, strengthening international networks, contributing to educational development, mentoring early-career researchers and supporting the long-term development of the host environment. The Academic Excellence Visiting Professor Programme at Chalmers will run during 2027-2028. The appointment is a part-time engagement, corresponding to up to 20% of a full-time position for a maximum of two years. Visiting professors are expected to maintain their affiliation with their home institution throughout the appointment. The level of engagement, duration and duties will be agreed jointly between the visiting professor, the host department and Chalmers. Financial arrangements will be tailored to the specific circumstances of each appointment. Please note that the position concerns a Visiting Professor and not a regular professorship with permanent employment. Qualifications According to Chalmers’ Appointment Regulation for teaching and research staff, a Visiting Professor must: Hold a full professorship, or an equivalent appointment at the highest academic rank, at a reputable university. Be able to contribute to both research and education at Chalmers, including supervision and mentoring of students and early‑career researchers. Be prepared to take an active role in collaboration with external partners and in the academic life of the hosting department. Who we invite This is an open call aimed at established researchers who have an outstanding record of scientific achievement and are internationally recognised as an academic leader within their field and who wish to spend a period of time in Gothenburg. Only a limited number of appointments will be made through this highly selective programme. Candidates will be assessed not only on their academic achievements and international standing, but also on their potential to contribute to the development of Chalmers’ academic environments and international position. Expression of interest/application If you are interested in exploring a Visiting Professor appointment at Chalmers, please submit an expression of interest including: A brief cover letter describing: your motivation for applying for the visiting professorship; your proposed area(s) of collaboration; the part(s) of Chalmers' research, education, innovation, or other activities to which you would like to contribute; and your preferred timing and duration of the visit a short CV with selected key publications and major grants or honours a statement (1–2 pages) describing how you envision contributing to Chalmers’ development and its long‑term vision. Expressions of interest will be matched with relevant departments and strategic initiatives after the application deadline. Candidates with the right match will then be invited for a first digital interview.
