Postdoc Position in Computer Science

Job description

The Division of Network and Systems Engineering at the Department of Computer Science in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of resilient learning and edge computing. With a focus on multi-agent learning in the context of edge computing, we are particularly interested in addressing fundamental problems related to resource management, distributed detection, learning equilibria in games, and learning in adversarial environments. Of interest are also approaches leveraging state-of-the-art neural architectures, including graphical models and federated learning. We will use the developed models for the design of topologies and learning algorithms that are resource efficient and are resilient to noise and to adversarial behavior. The methodological results will be applied in a variety of critical infrastructures, from smart grids through building automation to railways.
