Postdoc in Energy-based Learning of Dynamical Systems

Job description

The University of Groningen is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on systems theory for energy-based learning. 

What are you going to do?

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will develop and analyse new algorithms for energy-based learning of complex systems. A special emphasis will be placed on developing theory that goes beyond the steady-state behavior of dynamical systems. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with PhD students working on adjacent topics within the same line of research. 

Requirements

You should have:

-  A PhD degree in optimization or systems and control theory.

-  A strong mathematical background and an interest in conducting theoretical research.

-  A proven track record.

-  Excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken.

Conditions of employment

What can you expect from us?

• 232 vacation hours per year, based on a 38-hour workweek (1.0 FTE). You can also work more or fewer hours in exchange for more or fewer free hours. For example, with a 40-hour workweek, you save 96 extra free hours, and with a 36-hour workweek, you lose 96 hours.
• End-of-year bonus of 8.3% and 8% holiday allowance.
• Extensive opportunities for personal and professional development.
