[agents] postdoctoral research position at the University of Southern California

[Sven Koenig]

We have a postdoctoral research position available on artificial 
intelligence optimization approaches (including heuristic search, 
planning and constraint programming) for warehouse automation at the 
University of Southern California in Los Angeles (California, USA), 
starting as early as October 2022. Our project tackles planning, 
coordination and other optimization problems for the many robots that 
transport goods in warehouses of e-commerce companies and/or interact 
with human workers. The position is initially limited to one year but 
renewable by mutual consent for up to three years. Applicants should 
have a Ph.D. in computer science, operations research, robotics or a 
related field and publications in top venues of their research area. 
Experience in warehouse automation is not required. The salary will be 
commensurate with experience.

The successful applicant will participate in the NSF-funded AI Institute 
on Advances in Optimization with researchers from artificial 
intelligence, machine learning and operations research from the 
University of Southern California, Georgia Institute of Technology, 
University of California at Berkeley, and other universities. They will 
have lots of latitude in determining the overall research direction of 
the project and the opportunity to advise graduate and undergraduate 
students.

The Viterbi School of Engineering of the University of Southern 
California is ranked top 15 in the United States by US News & World 
Report. Los Angeles is a great place to live due to its Mediterranean 
climate, diverse restaurant scene and large number of tourist and 
cultural attractions.

To apply for this position, please send your CV and the names and email 
addresses of three references to Sven Koenig (skoenig at usc.edu). To find
