About this position
The Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) is offering a fixed-term postdoctoral Research Scientist position in agentic AI for agriculture. The project sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence and food production, asking how AI systems can support decision-making when data collection from fields, greenhouses, and experiments is expensive and slow.
The postdoc will develop methods for offline learning from historical datasets and explore ways to transfer learned models into online environments for further refinement through real experiments. A central theme is offline-to-online learning, combining imitation learning and learning in simulation so that AI agents can improve efficiently without requiring vast numbers of trial-and-error attempts.
Another research direction is the automatic design of new field experiments guided by human knowledge. The position therefore combines machine learning methodology with practical experimentation in agriculture, aiming to create decision-support approaches that can adapt to real-world production settings.
The successful candidate will join Luke’s doctoral and postdoctoral programme, which supports the professional development and academic qualification of early-career researchers at the institute. The role is connected to the Postdoctoral Programme for Research Institutes in Finland, linking the work to a wider national research effort and to collaboration across the academic community, industry, and administration.
This is a postdoctoral research opening in a Finnish government research institute focused on AI-enabled agriculture.
