PhD scholarship
University of Birmingham, UK I currently have an open PhD scholarship for students with a strong background in mathematics or computer science. The scholarship is part of a large EPSRC funded project on theor... y of co-evolutionary algorithms. The successful candidate will, together with a team of other PhD and postdocs, develop runtime analysis of co-evolutionary algorithms.
Note that the scholarship is funded at the "home" level, which means that it covers tuition fees for British students.
Jozef Stefan Institute The Computer Systems Department at Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia, has openings for two postdoctoral researchers and three PhD students as part of the EU-funded pro... ject AutoLearn-SI. This project aims to develop innovative AutoOPT and AutoML techniques through the semantic web, focusing on making benchmarking data interoperable, learning new meta-features through representation learning, and automating algorithm selection and configuration.
If you are interested in these opportunities, please speak with me during the conference or contact us via email.

Postdoctoral position in Toulouse on Neuroevolution
CNRS Post-Doc Position - Plasticity of an insect brain: a neuro-evolutionary approach Where: Toulouse, France What: Duration: 2 years + 2 renewable years Starting date: Jan-J... un 2025 When: Until 2024-12-01 01:00
The visual navigation behaviour of insects such as ants and bees is one of the most remarkable example of the ability of mini-brains to produce sophisticated and robust behaviours in complex environments. We have excellent recordings of the trajectory effected by these insects as they venture out of their nest to forage for food. Also, thanks to the development of the neurobiological tools in insects, we have an increasingly detailed description of the circuitry of these mini-brains. These networks, made up of a large number of interacting units (the neurons), are the site of a highly dynamic internal activity that enable an efficient coupling of the organism with its environment. Current insect neural models explain well the ability of the ants to navigate at a t-time, but do not explain the ability of insects to self-develop their navigational skills and compensate to impairments, that is, their plasticity and resilience. This project aims at developing plastic neural models that capture the insect navigational plasticity and resilience. The neuro-evolutionary approach: simulation of navigating ant-agent models equipped with evolving, plastic neural networks models, which process visual information and drive motor action. These virtual agents will navigate in virtual reconstructions of ants’ natural environment, so as to generate feedbacks from motor action to perception. The evolved agents’ behaviours will be compared with the observed behaviours of real ants. The evolved neural architecture will be tuned towards and compared with real insect neural circuits.

PostDoc and Software developer / research engineer position in ERC project dynaBBO at Sorbonne University in Paris, France
Sorbonne University I am recruiting PostDocs, a research engineer, and a software developer for my ERC project dynaBBO. The project is at the intersection of AutoML and evolutionary computation, ... with strong theoretical and empirical components. You will be employed by CNRS (French national center for scientific research) and work with me and my team at Sorbonne University. Please contact me by email if you want to know more. (I will not be looking into Whova too often in the coming days.)
