Postdoctoral Researcher in Autonomous Systems, Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning, and Agentic AI at UNIST Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea

UNIST’s Autonomous Systems and Decision-making Laboratory (ASDL) is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher in research areas centered on autonomous systems, multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, agentic AI, and AI-enhanced complex network systems. The post is supported by the UNIST InnoCORE Intelligent Defense Systems Research Group (IDS RG).

The lab, led by Hyungho Na (Assistant Professor, Department of Industrial Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Graduate School, UNIST), focuses on developing autonomous agents and improving sequential decision-making capabilities. The advertised topic highlights agentic AI for distributed agent-based autonomous operations of unmanned aircraft and vessels, but the research topic is explicitly stated as not limited to that area.

This is a postdoctoral opening rather than a PhD or master’s call. International applicants are eligible. The post emphasizes strong research experience and a solid publication record, and higher compensation may be offered depending on experience and research achievements.

Funding and benefits: starting annual salary is KRW 80,000,000 + α (approximately USD 57,000 + α), with potential for higher pay based on background. The position also includes opportunities to attend international conferences.

How to apply: submit the application through the provided portal and email your CV, publication list, and two representative papers to the lab email address. For more context, the post links to the IDS RG and ASDL lab pages.
