Connectionists: 2-years PostDoc position in collective behaviour and hypergraphs theory

[Elio Tuci]

Good Morning,

The Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Namur invites
applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the
project “On the analysis and design of collective behaviour for
robotics swarms using hypergraphs theory”, an interdisciplinary
project in which the mathematics of the networks science and
hypergraphs theory is used to design and predict the collective
dynamics of robotics swarms. This project is a collaboration between
Prof Elio Tuci (https://directory.unamur.be/staff/etuci), from the
Faculty of Computer Science at UNamur, Prof Timoteo Carletti
(https://directory.unamur.be/staff/tcarlett) from the Department of
Mathematics at UNamur, and Dr Andreagiovanni Reina
(https://www.giovannireina.com/) a FNRS research fellow of the
Artificial Intelligence Lab IRIDIA at ULB Belgium.

The appointment will be for one year renewable for another year, and is based
in Namur, Belgium.  The candidate should have a PhD in sciences (or in
a field judged equivalent by the selection committee) with some
experience in programming, mathematical modelling and excellent
oral/written communication skills in English. French is the official
language of the University of Namur. However, knowledge of French is
not required to carry out the activities of this project. The
candidate should have some experience or interest in modelling
collective behaviour and/or network systems. It is also important that
the candidate can translate ideas between disciplines, taking ideas
from mathematics and implementing them in collective and swarm
robotics systems.
