Actively hiring Posted about 24 hours ago

Role overview

We're looking for early-career researchers and recent PhD graduates to join the team and contribute to the following research activities:

  • Conduct research on machine learning approaches for sequential decision making and combinatorial optimization.
  • Develop new models and algorithms, for example using deep reinforcement learning, graph neural networks, or other learning-based optimization techniques.
  • Design and implement prototypes and proof-of-concept systems to evaluate new ideas and algorithmic approaches.
  • Run and analyze large-scale experiments in simulation and realistic problem settings inspired by real robotic systems.
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers across NAVER LABS to transfer and demonstrate developed approaches on real robotic systems.
  • Contribute to publications in leading conferences and journals in machine learning, artificial intelligence, optimization, and robotics.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with deep reinforcement learning, in particular multi-agent reinforcement learning.
  • Experience with machine learning for structured data, such as graph neural networks or related approaches.
  • Experience with combinatorial optimization, neural combinatorial optimization, or learning-augmented optimization methods.
  • Publications in leading conferences in machine learning, artificial intelligence, optimization, or robotics (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, AAAI, IROS, ICRA).
  • Experience with large-scale experiments, simulation environments, or real-world-inspired problem settings.
  • Interest in connecting machine learning research with real-world applications, in particular in robotics systems.
