Postdoctoral researcher in learning, control, and games

Tasks

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral doctor with a strong interest in intelligent systems where artificial intelligence, human decision-making or a combination of these cooperates with dynamic environments. The successful candidate is expected to have a solid background within one or more of the following areas: Applied Mathematics, System and Control Technology, Spot Theory, Machine Learning, Optimization and Decision Making.

The project aims to develop mathematical grounds and calculation methods for analysis, learning and coordination of complex feedback systems consisting of three closely interconnected components: a dynamic environment, algorithmic decision makers and strategic or adaptive actors. In such systems, decisions not only affect the physical environment, but also other actors' behavior and the data that will then be available for learning. These feedback effects give rise to basic challenges for stability, identifibility, performance and robustness, which cannot be managed by studying learning, regulation and strategic interaction separately.

The research will investigate how these interconnected systems can be modeled, analyzed and designed to achieve reliable systems at system level. The overall goal is to use insights from feedback decision making to design intelligent systems that are more effective, sustainable, resistant and reliable.

The selected candidates will also be registered in Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems, and Software Program (WASP) and thus get privileged access to its extensive resources. WASP is Sweden's largest individual research program in modern times. The program creates a platform for academic research and education in close cooperation with leading Swedish technology-intensive industry. The research includes artificial intelligence and autonomous systems that operate in collaboration with people and who adapt to their surroundings with the help of sensors, information and knowledge and create intelligent systems of systems. Wasp's vision is excellent research and expertise in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish industry.
