  • Lead research projects on machine learning approaches for sequential decision making and combinatorial optimization.
  • Identify and formulate impactful research problems inspired by real-world robotics applications.
  • Develop new models and algorithms, for example using deep reinforcement learning, graph neural networks, or other learning-based optimization techniques.
  • Design and oversee the implementation of prototypes and proof-of-concept systems to evaluate new approaches.
  • Play a leading role in communicating research results, including publications in top-tier conferences and journals.
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers across NAVER LABS to transfer and demonstrate developed approaches on real robotic systems.
  • Mentor and collaborate with junior researchers and research engineers.
  • Contribute to the visibility of the team through publications, talks, and collaborations.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with deep reinforcement learning, in particular multi-agent reinforcement learning.
  • Experience with machine learning for structured data, such as graph neural networks or related approaches.
  • Experience with combinatorial optimization, neural combinatorial optimization, or learning-augmented optimization methods.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify and formulate impactful research problems.
  • Experience mentoring students, interns, or junior researchers.
  • Strong publication record in leading conferences in machine learning, artificial intelligence, optimization, or robotics (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, AAAI, IROS, ICRA).
  • Experience building collaborations across teams or disciplines.
  • Interest in connecting machine learning research with real-world applications, in particular in robotics systems.
