PhD Student Position in Robot Learning and Representation Learning
4 maanden geleden
Are you seeking a PhD position in the areas of robotics, reinforcement learning and deep representation learning? Do you want to work with robots and state-of-the-art deep learning methods?Then consider joining us at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Your functionWe are looking for a motivated Ph.D. candidate to strengthen our teams at the computer science department of the VU Amsterdam in the area of robot learning & representation learning. You will be jointly supervised by the Assistant Professors Kevin Sebastian Luck (Computational Intelligence Group) and Shujian Yu (Quantitative Data Analysis Group).
In your PhD project you will consider the development of new deep learning and robot learning methodologies which can be applied across a variety of robotic platforms. With this you will work at the research frontier by investigating how we can optimize, exploit and generalize across a variety of agent embodiments and create novel reinforcement learning and representation learning approaches. Developing such embodied AI methodologies which do not consider the body of the robot to be static, but changeable and exploitable is a challenging endeavor with impact to both industry & science, and a lot of open and exciting research questions. You can expect to work at the intersection of the following areas: Deep Representation Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Information Theory, Robotics. Furthermore, you will have the possibility to apply your research on real robot platforms in our robotics lab, from standard platforms such as the Franka Enigma robot arm to self-developed modular robots.
As a PhD candidate you will have the opportunity to present your findings at international conferences, collaborate internationally and be an integral and valued part of a new team of researchers in the area of robot learning & deep learning in Amsterdam. As such, we aim to support you to start and build your own scientific career, collect teaching experience in relevant courses, and provide funding for this position for 4 years.
Required qualifications:
- you have completed or are close to completion (about to submit/defend) of your Master in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Robotics or a related field
- strong background in Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and/or Information Theory
- you possess good skills in Python programming
- have strong oral and written communication skills in English;
The following desirables are helpful:
- knowledge in relevant fields such as: Information Theory, (Meta) Reinforcement Learning, Foundation Models, Probability Theory, etc
- experience with robots or continuous control either in the real world or simulation
- strong mathematical background (eg courses in Lineare Algebra / Analysis)
- experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and Tensorflow
- experience in writing papers for conferences or a high-quality research thesis in the above mentioned topics
- relevant technical skills: LaTeX, Linux, Mujoco, PyBullet, ROS
