My wonderful PhD adviser is hiring! He's searching for a PhD student to work on combining search algorithms and machine learning. He's at the department where I did my MSc research back in the day, and where I had an amazing time. https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/60705642?lang=en #PhDLife #AcademicMastodon #AcademicChatter #GetFediHired #Belgium #MachineLearning #ComputerScience #Algorithms #Optimization

Update. The Trump admin is demanding a list of Jewish faculty, staff, and students at #UPenn. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/upenn-trump-jews-list Trump's #EEOC asked for the list last July. Penn refused, and the EEOC sued the university in November. What's new is that several groups just filed a motion in federal court to intervene in the lawsuit on the side of the university -- the American Association of University Professors (#AAUP, national and UPenn chapters), the American Academy of Jewish Research, the UPenn Jewish Law Students Association, the UPenn Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty. From #StevenWeitzman, UPenn prof of religious studies and past member of its antisemitism taskforce: “Part of what sets off alarm bells for people like me is a history of people using Jewish lists against Jews. The Nazi campaign against Jews depended on institutions like universities handing over information about their Jewish members to the authorities.” #Academia #AcademicMastodon #Antisemitism #Trump #Universities #USPol #USPolitics

Update. Yesterday #UPenn filed a 163-page brief in federal court condemning the #Trump admin demand for a list of #Jews at the institution as “extraordinary and unconstitutional". https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/us/university-of-pennsylvania-trump-jewish-staff.html "The #EEOC insists that Penn produce this information without the consent — and indeed, over the objections — of the employees impacted while entirely disregarding the frightening and well-documented history of governmental entities that undertook efforts to identify and assemble information regarding persons of Jewish ancestry. The government’s demand implicates Penn’s substantial interest in protecting its employees’ privacy, safety and First Amendment rights." #Academia #AcademicMastodon #Antisemitism #Universities #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics

Update. "Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/politics/trump-jews-penn-list-judge.html Penn will appeal the ruling. “We continue to believe that requiring Penn to create lists of Jewish faculty and staff, and to provide personal contact information, raises serious privacy and First Amendment concerns.” #Academia #AcademicMastodon #Antisemitism #Universities #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics
