PostDoc / Guest Professor in Reinforcement Learning

For the FWF-project "Reinforcement Learning: Beyond Optimality" we are looking for a PostDoc with strong background in mathematics (such as dynamic programming, probability theory, statistics, optimization, OR) and interest in reinforcement learning theory and analysis of algorithms. The position is for 9 months* beginning from the negotiable project start in 2023 (earliest 1st of May) and will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate has been found. Salary is about 4350 EUR per month (after taxes and insurance contributions this is net about 3300 EUR) including benefits like health insurance. (*Filling the position as a guest professor for a shorter period of a few months and a higher salary of 4770 EUR would also be an option.) The University of Leoben is one of Austrias three universities of technology and considered to be one of Austrias top universities. Leoben is a small yet nice town in the mountains, Austria's second largest city Graz is in commuting distance (45min by train) and the capital Vienna is not too far either (90min by car, 2h by train). Applications should include a CV, up to three recent publications as well as contact information of up to three senior academics who are willing to serve as reference. Please send applications as well as further enquiries to the project leader Ronald Ortner.
