Connectionists: RL/Game Focused Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Appointment - Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles Directorate, Kirtland AFB, NM

[ERWIN, RICHARD S DR-04 USAF AFMC AFRL/RVSVC]

Dear Colleagues, 

AFRL is recruiting a post-doctoral researcher for the topic below: 

AI Development for Competitive Space-Based Games: The research topic is
centered on development of AI engines (primarily reinforcement learning
approaches) to compete in a multi-player, competitive, zero-sum game
involving space dynamics and space environment constraints, e.g. power,
thermal, communications, etc.  The project will involve co-opting or
developing the game mechanics as needed; using openly available game engines
and physics simulations to implement the game in a form suitable for play by
computers; the development & training of AI engines using openly available
development environments; the analysis of AI player performance against
human players; and documentation of results via reports and/or technical
papers. 

US Citizenship is required for this position.  We cannot accept
dual-citizens (defined as holding a non-US issued passport) or US Permanent
Residents. 

The position has the option for a 2nd year renewal subject to agreement on
both sides. There are potential opportunities for follow-on employment at
AFRL. 

Please pass this on to potentially interested parties and/or your colleagues
who may know potential candidates.   

Interested candidates should contact me directly at the email address below
with a CV and expected availability date.  Address any questions to this
address as well.     

Best Regards, 

Scott
