About this position

University of Groningen is advertising a PhD position in Systems and Control Theory for Energy-Based Learning in the Netherlands. The project sits at the intersection of systems and control theory, circuit theory, optimization, machine learning, and neuromorphic computing, with a strong emphasis on mathematical foundations for energy-efficient computing.

The PhD candidate will develop theory and algorithms for learning in analog circuits and dissipative networks. The research aims to model learning as a feedback interconnection between continuous-time circuit dynamics and optimization algorithms, and to design local, decentralized learning rules that are scalable and energy-efficient. The project also includes rigorous convergence/scalability analysis, extension from analog circuits to broader dissipative networks, and validation of the proposed methods.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a Master's degree in Systems and Control, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. A strong mathematical background and interest in theoretical research are essential. Excellent English skills and strong analytical, creative, and collaborative abilities are expected. Experience with circuit theory, networked systems, machine learning, or neuromorphic computing is helpful but not mandatory.

Funding/employment details: this is a temporary PhD employment position. The post mentions standard staff benefits such as 38 hours per week, 232 vacation hours per year, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, and an 8% holiday allowance. No specific stipend or tuition information is provided.

Application deadline: 10 November 2026 at 22:00 UTC. To apply, use the AcademicTransfer portal and upload a motivation letter, CV, BSc and MSc transcripts, contact details for two academic references, and an MSc thesis or representative publication if available.

Contact for questions: Henk van Waarde (Assistant Professor), email [email protected].
