postdoctoral research position at the University of Southern California
Sven Koenig
We have a postdoctoral research position available on artificial intelligence optimization approaches (including heuristic search, planning and constraint programming) for warehouse automation at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles (California, USA), starting as early as October 2022. Our project tackles planning, coordination and other optimization problems for the many robots that transport goods in warehouses of e-commerce companies and/or interact with human workers. The position is initially limited to one year but renewable by mutual consent for up to three years. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in computer science, operations research, robotics or a related field and publications in top venues of their research area. Experience in warehouse automation is not required. The salary will be commensurate with experience.
The successful applicant will participate in the NSF-funded AI Institute on Advances in Optimization with researchers from artificial intelligence, machine learning and operations research from the University of Southern California, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of California at Berkeley, and other universities. They will have lots of latitude in determining the overall research direction of the project and the opportunity to advise graduate and undergraduate students.
The Viterbi School of Engineering of the University of Southern California is ranked top 15 in the United States by US News & World Report. Los Angeles is a great place to live due to its Mediterranean climate, diverse restaurant scene and large number of tourist and cultural attractions.
To apply for this position, please send your CV and the names and email addresses of three references to Sven Koenig (sko...@usc.edu). To find out more about our current research, please visit idm-lab.org.
