Technical skills, natural curiosity, versatility, and enthusiasm are highly desired traits that will enable success in this fast-paced environment. Key Responsibilities Manage the research project together with Principal Investigator (PI), Co-PI and the research team members to ensure all project deliverables are met. Collaborate with the PI, Co-PIs and NTU team to design and develop a robust and scalable software system for autonomous agents navigating immersive 3D virtual environments (e.g., Roblox, Minecraft). Implement a parallelized agent-driven framework where multiple LLM-powered agents operate concurrently to explore user-generated worlds and trigger diverse contextual scenarios. Develop a unified multimodal detection pipeline that integrates video, audio, and text leveraging fine-tuned Vision-Language Models (VLMs) from WP3, supporting zero-shot reasoning and scene-graph inference. Ensure the system is deployment-ready by supporting benchmarking of inference speed, compute efficiency, and scalability with concurrent agents. Enable real-time adaptive learning via human-in-the-loop feedback and reinforcement learning mechanisms in collaboration with other work packages. Maintain high software engineering standards through rigorous testing, version control, clear documentation, and continuous improvement of development infrastructure (e.g., CI/CD, Docker, cloud-based services). Carry out Risk Assessment, and ensure compliance with Work, Safety and Health Regulations. Coordinate procurement and liaison with vendors/suppliers. Work independently, as well as within a team, to ensure proper operation and maintenance of equipment. Job Responsibilities Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or a related field. Hands-on experience in designing and implementing software systems involving multi-agent frameworks. Familiarity with immersive platform development (e.g., Roblox, Minecraft), including scripting (Lua/Java), agent behavior modeling, event handling, and API-based integration with external AI systems. Experience with distributed systems, reinforcement learning, or simulation environments (e.g., Unity3D, OpenAI Gym, WebGL) is advantageous. Experience in developing and deploying cloud-based applications (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure), including containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), serverless computing, and REST API development. Proficient in Python, with basic experience in machine learning or computer vision libraries; familiarity with Vision-Language Models (e.g., CLIP, BLIP) or scene-graph inference is a plus. Key Competencies Strong software development and debugging skills. Able to design modular, scalable systems and benchmark their performance. Proficient in technical writing and system documentation. Self-directed learner with strong problem-solving and research capability.

They represent individuals driven by curiosity and a relentless pursuit of excellence. With us, they find the space to try things out and unfold their potential. Are you inspired by their passion and determination? To strengthen our team, we are seeking a university assistant to develop advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence methods. University assistant predoctoral - PhD position in Probabilistic and Interactive Machine Learning 39 Faculty of Computer Science Startdate: 01.10.2026 | Working hours: 30 | Collective bargaining agreement: §48 VwGr. B1 Grundstufe (praedoc) Limited until: 30.09.2030 Reference no.: 5376 Your personal sphere of influence: The working group “Probabilistic and Interactive Machine Learning” within the research group “Data Mining and Machine Learning” at the Faculty of Computer Science, led by Prof. Sebastian Tschiatschek, develops foundational methods in machine learning and artificial intelligence. We focus particularly on the areas of reinforcement learning, interactive learning, and deep probabilistic models. While modern reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved remarkable success, it remains limited when applied to complex, open-ended, or poorly defined environments. Two of the most critical bottlenecks in contemporary AI are sample inefficiency, often caused by the lack of intelligent, structured exploration, and the "reward engineering" problem, where designing an explicit scalar reward function that captures desired behavior is incredibly difficult or impossible. Furthermore, as AI systems are deployed in more complex environments, the challenges of AI alignment (ensuring systems behave according to human preferences) and constrained learning (adhering to strict safety, legal, or physical boundaries) become important. This position is dedicated to addressing these core challenges by advancing the frontiers of Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL), exploration, and safe/aligned AI.                       Your future tasks: You actively participate in research, teaching & administration, which means: You will contribute to academic research projects in the above-mentioned areas.
