Organisation/Company Università degli Studi di Verona Research Field Computer science Researcher Profile Recognised Researcher (R2) Leading Researcher (R4) First Stage Researcher (R1) Established Researcher (R3) Application Deadline 7 Sep 2026 - 13:00 (UTC) Country Italy Type of Contract To be defined Job Status Not Applicable Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme?
Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description The research programme aims to develop advanced trustworthy reinforcement learning methods for real-world systems, with particular emphasis on planning and tree-search algorithms, including Monte Carlo Tree Search approaches.
The activities will involve the design of tree-based models, distance functions and representations for time series, as well as asynchronous, parallel and efficient pipelines for processing large volumes of data and simulations.
High-performance software solutions will be investigated and integrated into reproducible and scalable machine learning workflows to support robust decision-making in dynamic and complex environments. The research will include experimental validation, benchmarking, and the analysis of efficiency, generalization and reliability across different real-world application domains, including robotic and energy systems.
