{"data":{"id":183396,"slug":"postdoktor-i-larande-reglerteknik-och-spelteori","type":"job","title":"Postdoctoral Researcher in Learning, Control Theory, and Game Theory","description":"Job Responsibilities\nWe are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong interest in intelligent systems where artificial intelligence, human decision-making, or a combination of these interact with dynamic environments. The successful candidate is expected to have a solid background in one or more of the following areas: applied mathematics, systems and control theory, game theory, machine learning, optimization, and decision-making.\nThe project aims to develop mathematical foundations and computational methods for analyzing, learning, and coordinating complex feedback systems consisting of three closely interconnected components: a dynamic environment, algorithmic decision-makers, and strategic or adaptive agents. In such systems, decisions not only affect the physical environment but also influence other agents' behaviors and the data subsequently available for learning. These feedback effects create fundamental challenges concerning stability, identifiability, performance, and robustness that cannot be addressed by studying learning, control, and strategic interaction separately.\nThe research will investigate how these interconnected systems can be modeled, analyzed, and designed to achieve reliable system-level outcomes. The overarching goal is to leverage insights from feedback decision-making to design intelligent systems that are more efficient, sustainable, resilient, and reliable.\nSelected candidates will also be enrolled in the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems, and Software Program (WASP), providing privileged access to its comprehensive resources. WASP is Sweden's largest single research program in modern times. The program creates a platform for academic research and education in close collaboration with leading Swedish technology-intensive industry. The research encompasses artificial intelligence and autonomous systems that operate in collaboration with humans and adapt to their environment using sensors, information, and knowledge, creating intelligent systems of systems. WASP's vision is excellent research and expertise in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and software for the benefit of Swedish industry.\nQualifications\nRequirements\nCompleted doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a doctoral degree.
