PhD Studentship in Protective Security Resource Allocation Using Stackelberg Security Games and Reinforcement Learning Coventry University in United Kingdom

Google DeepMind is hiring a Student Researcher for Fall 2026 , with a research focus on agents , reinforcement learning (RL) , and how these methods affect model behavior . This opportunity is aimed at candidates who are currently pursuing a PhD and who have strong engineering and research skills. The post suggests a research-oriented role rather than a standard academic degree opening, and it is especially relevant for students interested in machine learning, agentic systems, and experimental a...

This PhD position at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) focuses on developing a unified theory for reinforcement learning. The project addresses the challenge of scatteredness among various models and algorithms in reinforcement learning by aiming to connect different branches through a comprehensive theoretical framework. The research will involve rigorous mathematical proofs, statistical modelling, and the fusion of existing theoretical approaches to create a unified algorithmic struc...

NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) is advertising a PhD candidate position in agentic AI, uncertainty and risk for decision-oriented modelling . The project focuses on how agentic AI can be combined with modelling tools, simulation workflows, uncertainty quantification, and decision support to make advanced scientific computing more accessible, transparent, and useful. The position is part of aiD – AI for Decisions , a new national AI centre led by NTNU and SINTEF. Relevant re...
