Bursary funding is available for a computer Go project at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, at both masters and doctoral level.
Although they would be useful, knowledge of machine learning/artificial intelligence techniques and skill in the game of Go are not necessary. However, applicants should be good programmers, and preferably have some background in mathematics and statistics. Applicants require an Honours or 4-year degree in a suitable field (e.g. Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Maths, Electrical Engineering).
Bursary amounts (fulltime per year): Doctoral: R45000; Masters: R30000. (Chances are you’ll need an additional bursary/source of funding).
If you might be interested, please contact Steve Kroon. If you know of other people who might be interested, please forward this information to them.
[There is also some funding for robotic soccer strategy – see this page for more info.]
