Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Applications are invited for a 3-year Research Fellowship
(postdoc) in<br>
the theory of co-evolutionary computation at the University of<br>
Birmingham. Co-evolutionary algorithms are heuristic optimisation<br>
techniques, mimicking biological principles of natural selection,
e.g.<br>
for minimax/robust optimisation and learning game playing
strategies.<br>
Such algorithms have been successfully applied to various
industrial<br>
optimisation domains. However, the theoretical understanding of
these<br>
methods has been limited.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will contribute, together with other
project<br>
team members and international academic and industrial partners,
towards<br>
developing the theoretical foundation necessary for the design of<br>
efficient and reliable co-evolutionary algorithms. When complete,
the<br>
project team will consist of two postdocs and two PhD students in<br>
addition to the PI. The fellowship is funded by the UKRI Turing AI<br>
Acceleration Fellowship project "Rigorous Time-Complexity Analysis
of<br>
co-Evolutionary Algorithms", providing generous travel allowance,<br>
computing facilities etc.<br>
<br>
The ideal candidate will have a strong research track record in
theory<br>
of evolutionary computation, algorithmic game theory, and/or
randomised<br>
algorithms.<br>
<br>
