Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The ideal candidate will have a strong research track record in
theory of evolutionary computation, algorithmic game theory,
and/or randomised algorithms.<br>
<br>
To apply, please see<br>

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

Best wishes,<br>
