Expressions of Interest for Agent Postdoc Position
RMIT University, Melbourne Australia

We will soon be advertising a postdoctoral position for 2 years, with
possibilities for extension, starting early to mid 2010, working within the
Intelligent Agents Group at RMIT. The specific position is as a postdoc on the
ARC Discovery grant ``Intention Selection in Intelligent Agent Systems''. This
project involves developing principled reasoning mechanisms that can be added to
the infrastructure capabilities of a BDI system, to determine how to interleave
multiple competing and/or complimentary goals/intentions in an effective manner.
The grant proposal with a more detailed description of the project is available
on request.

We are looking for a person with an excellent record of working on relevant
knowledge representation and reasoning problems, producing high quality
publications with good impact. Knowledge of BDI systems is an advantage, but not
a pre-requisite. The person appointed must however be willing to learn and work
with BDI systems in the PRS, AgentSpeak/Jason, JACK family. The person should be
able to work well in a team, but should also be able to take a lead role in
driving forward the research.

RMIT has a large computer science department with a well established and
internationally recognised research group in the area of Intelligent Agents.
Melbourne is a hub for a significant amount of research and development in
Intelligent Agents and their applications and is the home of "Agents Victoria" a
group of industry, government and university groups, involved in agent research
and applications.

This is a full time research position, with opportunity for a small amount of
teaching if desired. Salary is approximately $70,000 per annum plus 17%
superannuation and 4 weeks per annum paid leave. There are automatic yearly
increments.
