The AI Department of the Donders Centre for Cognition (DCC), embedded in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, is looking for a researcher in reinforcement learning with an interest in applications in neurotechnology and robotics. You will be part of The Dutch Brain Interfaces Initiative, Dutch DBI2 consortium, which is a multi-year/multi-center program that aims to understand brain function from a computational and mechanistic perspective.
The AI Department of the Donders Centre for Cognition (DCC), embedded in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and the School of Artificial Intelligence at Radboud University Nijmegen are looking for a researcher in reinforcement learning with an emphasis on safety and robustness, an interest in natural computing as well as in applications in neurotechnology and other domains such as robotics, healthcare and/or sustainability. You will be expected to perform top-quality research in (deep) reinforcement learning, actively contribute to the DBI2 consortium, interact and collaborate with other researchers and specialists in academia and/or industry, and be an inspiring member of our staff with excellent communication skills. You are also expected to engage with students through teaching and master projects not exceeding 20% of your time.
Fixed-term contract: 3 years. After three years and upon good performance, this position will result in a tenured assistant professor position (depending on experience) embedded in the School of Artificial Intelligence at Radboud University.
