Connectionists: 2-3 PhD/Post-doc positions in Reinforcement Learning

[Jochen Triesch]

We have openings for 2-3 PhD/Post-doc positions in the area of
hierarchical reinforcement learning.

The positions are in the context of a new four year, eight
partner EU-project, IM-CLeVeR (Intrinsically Motivated Cumulative
LEarning VErsatile Robots), which spans neurobiology, psychology,
computational neuroscience, machine learning and robotics
(http://www.im-clever.eu/). Our goal will be to develop algorithms
that learn hierarchical control architectures based on intrinsic
motivations, curiosity drives, and abstraction and modularization abilities.

The positions will be based at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced
Studies (http://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/neuro). Generous funds are
available for extended visits to other project partners.

Candidates should have a keen interest in the areas of computational
neuroscience, unsupervised and reinforcement learning, control theory,
intelligent robotics, or related disciplines.

Positions are available immediately with highly competitive salary.
Required application materials comprise:

* Complete Curriculum Vitae
* Statement of research achievements and interests
* Contact information for 2-3 references
* Copy of Masters or Diploma certificate
* Copy of PhD certificate, if applicable

and should be sent to Ms Gaby Schmitz: schmitz at fias.uni-frankfurt.de.

Best regards,
 Jochen Triesch
