The AI Department of the Donders Centre for Cognition (DCC), embedded in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, is looking for a tenure track researcher in reinforcement learning with an interest towards applications in neurotechnology. You will be part of the Dutch DBI2 consortium, which is a multi-year/multi-institute project aimed at understanding brain function from a computational and mechanistic perspective (dbi2.nl http://dbi2.nl/).

You are a researcher in reinforcement learning with an emphasis on safety and robustness. You have a keen interest in applications in neurotechnology and other domains such as robotics, healthcare and/or sustainability. You will perform top-quality research in reinforcement learning, actively contribute to and support the DBI2 consortium, interact and collaborate with other researchers and specialists in academia and/or industry, and be an inspiring member of our staff with excellent communication skills. Furthermore, you will engage with students through teaching and master projects not exceeding 20% of your time. This tenure track position will lead to a tenured assistant or associate professorship after three years (depending on experience and performance).

The Donders Institute provides excellent facilities such as computing facilities, a robot lab, a virtual reality lab, behavioural labs, and a technical support group. The AI Department is also a founding member of Radboud AI and the ELLIS Unit Nijmegen (European Excellence Network in Machine Learning). You will join the Artificial Cognitive Systems (ACS) group headed by Prof. van Gerven and interact closely with other machine learning researchers and computational neuroscientists.
