[PlanetKR] Positions in AI at the ANU

[Sylvie]

Dear all,

A number of research-intensive Lecturer and Research Fellow positions 
are available in the ANU Planning and Optimisation Research Group, to 
conduct research in Automated Planning and Scheduling and related areas 
of Artificial Intelligence and Optimisation.  Salaries are 
internationally competitive (around 100K AUD/year + 17% superannuation), 
the ANU is ranked in the world's top 20 
<https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2018> 
universities, and Canberra has been named one of the cities with the 
highest quality of life 
<http://canberra.com.au/canberra-home-to-the-highest-quality-of-living-worldwide-according-to-numbeo-data/>and 
one of the most enjoyable to visit.

The positions have been advertised in two separate announcements:

*Position 1: (one or more 
positions)****http://jobs.anu.edu.au/cw/en/job/518406/lecturer*

contact Sylvie.Thiebaux at anu.edu.au 
<mailto:Sylvie.Thiebaux at anu.edu.au>*<mailto:Sylvie.Thiebaux at anu.edu.au>*

Applications close: 1 December 2017

We are looking for PhD graduates with a track record in one or more of 
the following:

  * Probabilistic planning and scheduling
  * On-line, dynamic  planning and scheduling
  * Combining AI, OR, and ML approaches to planning and scheduling
  * Hybrid (discrete/continuous) planning and scheduling
  * Integrating verification, diagnosis, and learning with planning
  * Planning and scheduling for autonomous robotics

Successful candidates will conduct independent or project-based research 
in those areas. Although their main time contribution will be to 
research, they will also be expected to contribute at a reduced 
intensity to the teaching activities of the school, and supervision of 
students.

Duration: up to 3 years

*Position 2:****http://jobs.anu.edu.au/cw/en/job/518408/research-fellow*

contact Patrik.Haslum at anu.edu.au <mailto:Patrik.Haslum at anu.edu.au>

Applications close: 8 January 2017

**

We are seeking a research fellow to work on a project on use of planning 
in networked system security. The project is a collaboration between the 
ANU, CSIRO Data61 and the Australian Defence Science and Technology 
Group. Its goal is to develop scalable approaches to planning model 
construction and maintenance, as well as algorithmic advances in 
planning under uncertainty and partial observability that enable scaling 
to networks of practical size.

We are looking for PhD graduates with a track record of research in the 
field of AI planning, ideally with an emphasis on:

  * Robust planning under uncertainty and partial observability
  * Large-scale knowledge engineering for planning
  * Experience in network security, pentesting or software system
    vulnerability is also desirable but not essential

Duration: 3 years (subject to successful regular project reviews), with 
possibility of extension to a maximum of 5 years.
