Postdoctoral researcher in artificial intelligence
Back to available jobsWe are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in artificial intelligence to the Department of Computer and Information Science.
Work assignments
You will carry out research together with Jendrik Seipp, Senior Associate Professor in Artificial Intelligence at LiU. The research projects for the advertised position will be in the areas of automated planning and machine learning. The focus will be on developing and automatically learning new methods for efficiently solving planning tasks. The projects will involve both theoretical and experimental work.
As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours.
Qualifications
To be qualified to take employment as postdoc, you must have been awarded a doctoral degree or have a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This degree must have been awarded at the latest by the point at which LiU makes its decision to employ you.
It is considered advantageous if your doctoral degree is no older than three years at application deadline for this job. If there are special reasons for having an older doctoral degree – such as taking statutory leave – then these may be taken into consideration.
We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher eager to do excellent research in AI. We expect an excellent publication record in areas such as automated planning, machine learning, logic or combinatorial optimization. Furthermore, candidates should have very good programming and communication skills, and high proficiency in oral and written English.
The workplace
The Department of Computer and Information Science was founded in 1983, but its roots go back to the early 1970s. It is one of the largest computer science departments in northern Europe. Our research covers a broad spectrum of fields, from core to applied computer sciences. Its vast scope also benefits our undergraduate and graduate programmes, and we now teach courses in several engineering programmes at bachelor’s and master’s levels, as well as the programmes in statistics, cognitive science and innovative programming.
