Researcher - DeepRAP Challenge

Remote, Worldwide

What the Challenge is funding: Research that moves beyond today's deep learning/RL paradigms toward genuinely trustworthy cognitive AI; causal reasoning, abstraction, and planning under uncertainty. Funded projects don't just publish a paper, they build and demonstrate a working system (TRL3/4), help define new industry benchmarks for reasoning and trustworthiness, and join a wider EU-funded portfolio shaping how cognitive AI gets built and regulated across Europe.

The opportunity:

Visibility at the frontier : this is exactly the kind of work that gets cited, gets you invited to speak, and gets you noticed by labs and industry doing serious reasoning/planning research

A funded system, not a thought experiment : you're not writing a proposal that sits in a drawer; a successful award means building and demonstrating the actual architecture

Named contributor on a flagship EU AI initiative: tied to benchmark development and portfolio activities the EIC is running across all funded DeepRAP projects

A credential that compounds: EIC Pathfinder co-authorship is a strong signal on any postdoc, faculty, or industry research application going forward
