The University of Vienna is a community of almost 11,000 individuals, including approximately 7,700 academic staff members, who passionately pursue answers to the profound questions that shape our future. 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. You will work on scientific articles and publish your research results. You will participate in academic conferences to present your research.
