[Jobs] Postdoc position in robot learning/LLMs at VU Amsterdam
KS Luck
TLDR: 1-year postdoc position in the topics of robot learning,
deep (reinforcement) learning and large language models for start in
September-October 2024 in Amsterdam, NL.
I have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher at the AI department
of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands. You will be embedded
within my group and the Computational Intelligence Group and work on
topics related to Robot Learning, Representation learning, and LLMs
funded by the NWO TeNet project.
The project aims to investigate and develop new methods using LLMs to
create and tune neural policies for continuous and robot control tasks
in reinforcement learning settings. We will especially focus on creating
an impact for real-world robot learning and energy- and time-efficiency
to increase the possible use cases of LLMs in robot learning.
You are a good candidate for this position if you have a solid
background in robot learning and/or (deep) reinforcement learning as
demonstrated by your publications.
Experience with Large Language Models is very beneficial. If you have so
far not used LLMs in your research, motivation and a keen interest in
exploring this area of machine learning is expected.
Please note that the postdoc position is funded via the NWO AIned XS
initiative for high-gain/high-risk research and, hence, provides only
funding for one year. Based on performance, an extension of a few months
is possible as a secondment to the collaboration partner Finnish Center
for AI (FCAI) and Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland. The position
comes with funds for a research visit to Helsinki. The start date for
this position is negotiable, but it would ideally be in September or
October 2024. Given the duration of the position, hybrid work is
possible, but please note that you will need to register within the
Netherlands.
