We are seeking a research fellow to work on a project on use of planning in networked system security. The project is a collaboration between the ANU, CSIRO Data61 and the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group. Its goal is to develop scalable approaches to planning model construction and maintenance, as well as algorithmic advances in planning under uncertainty and partial observability that enable scaling to networks of practical size.
We are looking for PhD graduates with a track record of research in the field of AI planning, ideally with an emphasis on:
Robust planning under uncertainty and partial observability
Large-scale knowledge engineering for planning
Experience in network security, pentesting or software system vulnerability is also desirable but not essential
Duration: 3 years (subject to successful regular project reviews), with possibility of extension to a maximum of 5 years.
* Salaries are internationally competitive (around 100K AUD/year + 17% superannuation),
* ANU is ranked in the world's top 20 universities
* Canberra has been named one of the cities with the highest quality of life and one of the most enjoyable to visit.
