As part of a project for using Physics Informed Neural Networks and  
Reinforcement Learning for accelerating scientific discovery, the  
Computer Science Department at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering  
at Czech Technical University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher,  
supervised by Vyacheslav Kungurtsev. The postdoc will conduct research  
and development on machine learning training algorithms using High  
Performance Computing Techniques. In particular, CTU is one of few  
universities with access to an Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU), a  
device developed to be particularly suited for working with data with  
geometric structure at similar thoroughput times as GPUs. The postdoc  
position can start immediately, and is available for up to the end of  
2026.
