For the FWF-project "Reinforcement Learning: From Satisficing to Optimization" we are looking for a PostDoc with strong background in mathematics (such as probability theory, statistics, optimization, OR) and interest in reinforcement learning theory and analysis of algorithms. Highly qualified PhD candidates might be considered as well.

The position is for 1,5 up to 2 years beginning from the negotiable project start in 2025 and will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate has been found. Salary is about 4900 EUR per month (after taxes and insurance contributions this is net about 3700 EUR) including benefits like health insurance.
