Applications are invited for a PhD studentship on Theory of Evolutionary
Computation in the School of Computer Science at the University of
Birmingham (UK).
Co-evolutionary algorithms are heuristic optimisation techniques,
mimicking biological principles of natural selection, e.g. for
minimax/robust optimisation and learning game playing strategies. Such
algorithms have been successfully applied to various industrial
optimisation domains. However, the theoretical understanding of these
methods has been limited.
The successful candidate will contribute, together with other project
team members and international academic and industrial partners, towards
developing the theoretical foundation necessary for the design of
efficient and reliable co-evolutionary algorithms. The PhD position is
associated with the UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship project
"Rigorous Time-Complexity Analysis of co-Evolutionary Algorithms",
providing generous travel allowance, computing facilities etc.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in either mathematics
or computer science. The studentship covers UK "home student" rates.
To apply, please see
The official closing date is December 1st 2023, however please feel free
to contact me after this time.
Best wishes,
Professor Per Kristian Lehre
