<div dir="ltr"><p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p>The Autonomous Learning Robots (ALR) lab at the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT) is seeking for highly motivated team
members (post-doctoral researcher or doctoral student) with a
strong background in reinforcement learning and/or geometric deep
learning. <br>
</p>
<p>The successful candidate will investigate modelling of deformable
materials with geometric deep learning with focus on data-driven
optimization in applications for production engineering such as
stamp forming. You will be part of a larger interdisciplinary
consortium consisting of production engineers, mechanical
engineers and machine learning experts. Good writing and
communication skills are required. PDRA applicants should have an
outstanding record of research and publications. The PDRA contract
will be given for 2 years with the possibility of extension of
another year. The PhD position is initially funded for 4 years. <br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US">Strong research background and expertise in some of
the following areas are preferred:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US">- Deep reinforcement learning</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US">- Graph Neural Networks</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US">- Modelling deformable objects</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US">- Robot learning for manipulation</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US">- Mesh-based FEM simulations</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US">You will also closely interact with other team
members of the ALR lab, supervise master students and work in a
highly collaborative team. <br>
</span></p>
<p>To apply, applicants should send their applications to
<a class="gmail-moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:gerhard.neumann@kit.edu">gerhard.neumann@kit.edu</a> including:</p>
<p>- CV with a list of at least 3 references for PDRAs and 2 for PhD
candidates</p>
<p>- Record of publications (for PDRAs only)</p>
<p>- A statement about research interest and why you are interested
in this position (up to 1 page). <br>
