Two postdoctoral researchers are needed for a research project on robust Markov decision processes, which involves tools from machine learning, statistics, optimization and probability, led by me, Prof. Melvyn Sim and Prof. Panida Jirutitijaroen from the National University of Singapore, starting as early as Feb 2015. Beyond the research project, the researchers are encouraged to explore research directions in machine learning, robust optimization and their applications. Interested applicants please email me.
Ideally, an applicant should have relevant research exposure in machine learning, operations research or statistics, and have solid mathematical ability. We expect an applicant to have strong research ability demonstrated from publication in high profile venue in relevant fields. The applicants must be highly motivated and self-driven, eager to learn new tools and new methodologies. knowledge and expertise in MDP and reinforcement learning is preferred.
