[jobs] PostDoc/PhD in Deep RL and Social Dilemmas in 'the Metaverse', The Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya (Reichman University) , Israel
Friedman Doron
We are seeking one or more individuals to work on deep RL for GuestXR – a 4-year EU project.
The project aims to address social problems and ethical dilemmas that may arise in multi-user XR environments, and brings together fundamental challenges in ‘AI’ and deep RL, applied for social intelligence in multi-user XR environments.
We are seeking researchers to work on the deep RL part, who will eventually integrate their results with other researchers working in various XR environments, or with neuroscientific and behavioral human research.
There is no deadline but the project has started and we have started hiring research students.
Responsibilities:
· - In collaboration with your advisers and a diverse multi-disciplinary international team, solve ambitious research challenges and translate your results into actionable insights that are relevant to applications in XR applications and beyond.
· - Write research code to test new approaches or develop novel theoretical and practical insights.
· - Distil the developed insights into effective communications, such as research papers and presentations, to reach internal and external technical and general audiences.
Qualifications:
· - PhD in reinforcement learning, game AI, or a related area, or equivalent experience (for PhD candidates: a relevant MSc thesis).
· - Ability to carry out state-of-the-art research, demonstrated by a publication at a top conference or journal.
· - Strong understanding of state-of-the-art deep learning and/or reinforcement learning (ideally deep reinforcement learning).
· - Hands-on experience in implementing and empirically evaluating deep learning or reinforcement learning approaches or related techniques, and/or experimentation infrastructure.
· - Effective communication skills and ability to work in a multi-disciplinary, diverse, and collaborative environment.
· - Experience in solving deep research challenges.
The PostDoc/PhDs will be jointly supervised by Doron Friedman (head of the ARL lab) and Dr. Moshe Butman (who has vast industry ML experience and teaches RL), and will collaborate with additional post-grad students working on the GuestXR project and other relevant projects in the intersection of XR and deep learning.
