About this position

Postdoc in Energy-based Learning of Dynamical Systems at the University of Groningen, Netherlands.

This postdoctoral opening is for a highly motivated researcher to work on systems theory for energy-based learning. The project focuses on developing and analysing new algorithms for complex systems, with particular emphasis on theory that goes beyond the steady-state behaviour of dynamical systems. The role also offers the opportunity to collaborate with PhD students working on related topics in the same research line.

Research areas: control engineering, systems engineering, optimization, dynamical systems, energy-based learning, theoretical algorithm development.

Eligibility: applicants should have a PhD in optimization or systems and control theory, a strong mathematical background, a proven track record, and excellent English communication skills.

Location: University of Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands.

Contract and benefits: temporary postdoctoral appointment, 38 hours per week. Benefits listed include 232 vacation hours per year (based on a 38-hour workweek), an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, an 8% holiday allowance, and opportunities for personal and professional development. No specific salary or stipend amount is provided in the post.

How to apply: submit your application through the AcademicTransfer portal. Prepare a motivation letter (1–2 pages), CV, contact details of two academic references, and a representative publication. The application deadline is 16 November 2026 at 22:00 UTC.

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