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.
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.
The ideal candidate will have a strong research track record in theory of evolutionary computation, algorithmic game theory, and/or randomised algorithms.

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