💼 About This Role

You'll develop computational theories of scientific reasoning for program synthesis and neuro-symbolic methods in embodied AI. You'll advance how agents learn causal models from interaction and bridge high-level reasoning with low-level control.

🎯 What You'll Do

  • Develop computational theories for program synthesis and neuro-symbolic methods.
  • Design and implement novel algorithms for embodied AI systems.
  • Collaborate across specializations to integrate world modeling with planning.
  • Validate research on physical robots and address sim-to-real challenges.

📋 Requirements

  • Publications at top venues like NeurIPS, ICML, or POPL.
  • Deep expertise in program synthesis and neuro-symbolic methods.
  • Strong foundations in probability theory, optimization, and linear algebra.
  • Experience with combining neural networks with symbolic reasoning.

✨ Nice to Have

  • PhD in robotics, machine learning, or related field.
  • Experience at leading robotics or AI labs.
  • Track record of algorithms deployed on physical robots.
