Dear colleagues,

Applications are invited for a 3-year Research Fellowship (postdoc) in 
the theory of co-evolutionary computation at the University of 
Birmingham. Co-evolutionary algorithms are heuristic optimisation 
techniques, mimicking biological principles of natural selection, e.g. 
for minimax/robust optimisation and learning game playing strategies. 
Such algorithms have been successfully applied to various industrial 
optimisation domains. However, the theoretical understanding of these 
methods has been limited.

The successful candidate will contribute, together with other project 
team members and international academic and industrial partners, towards 
developing the theoretical foundation necessary for the design of 
efficient and reliable co-evolutionary algorithms. When complete, the 
project team will consist of two postdocs and two PhD students in 
addition to the PI. The fellowship is funded by the UKRI Turing AI 
Acceleration Fellowship project "Rigorous Time-Complexity Analysis of 
co-Evolutionary Algorithms", providing generous travel allowance, 
computing facilities etc.

The ideal candidate will have a strong research track record in theory 
of evolutionary computation, algorithmic game theory, and/or randomised 
algorithms.

To apply, please see

The closing date is Sept 30th 2022 (extended deadline).

Best wishes,
