                RESEARCH POSITION AT NASA AMES
 
The Computational Inductive Inference Group at NASA Ames Research
Center invites applications for a researcher to work on its
"Collective Intelligence" project. This multi-disciplinary effort is
led by David Wolpert, and currently has 5 researchers. It is concerned
with systems that involve large collections of sophisticated machine
learning algorithms operating, without centralized control, so as to
achieve a global objective. The current domains being investigated are
packet routing, automated parallelization, and protocell modeling.
 
The position will be at either the post-doctoral and/or staff
researcher level, depending on qualifications.  Applicants must have a
doctoral degree and an outstanding research record.  Experience in one
or more of the fields of game theory, economics, machine learning /
statistical inference (especially reinforcement learning), or
multi-agent systems is required. Experience in network routing,
biophysics, population biology, and/or parallel algorithms is a plus.
 
Candidates should send a curriculum vitae (including a list of
publications), their citizenship status and the names of at least
three references to Hal Duncan, hduncan at mail.arc.nasa.gov,
650-604-4767, MS N269-2, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA,
94035. Electronic submissions are preferred. Do NOT send information
to David Wolpert.
