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.
