Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the area of Game AI.
The project is led by Professor Simon Lucas, the head of the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London, and will be based at the Mile End Campus in East London. The aim of the project is to make significant progress on two fronts by developing rapidly adaptive algorithms that can be used as the basis for statistical simulation-based AI controllers, and also be used to search game design spaces for novel and interesting games. A particular focus of the work will be on general approaches to designing and playing real-time strategy games using methods related to combinatorial multi-armed bandits. Candidates will need to have a relevant PhD in Computer Science (or equivalent academic or industrial experience) or related discipline, and a track record that includes publications in Artificial Intelligence applied to Games. Candidates should have a background in designing AI for games (video games and/or board games) automatic game tuning. It is essential that the candidate has the ability to work effectively in teams to undertake collaborative research and co-author high quality publications. The project may also involve working with visiting researchers, and visiting other institutions involved in Game AI. In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to assist with supervising PhD students. This is a full-time post for 27 months or until 31 July 2020 whichever is the shorter. The post is available from June 2018. The starting salary will be in the range of £36,677 - £43,152 per annum inclusive of London allowance. Benefits include 30 days’ annual leave, defined benefit pension scheme and interest-free season ticket loan. Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. Where required this may include entry clearance or continued leave to remain under the Points Based Immigration Scheme. Informal enquiries should be addressed to Julie Macdonald (j.macdon...@qmul.ac.uk).
