About this position

MIT is advertising a postdoctoral researcher opportunity in networked systems, power-grid topology control, and reinforcement learning. The research sits at the intersection of multi-agent systems, control, optimization, and learning for complex systems, with applications to large-scale power-grid decision-making.

The postdoc will work on challenging problems such as distributed coordination across many interacting components, non-stationary operating conditions, and actions that must satisfy strict physical and safety constraints. Possible directions include scalable and decentralized decision-making, robust learning under partial observability, safety and constraint satisfaction, online adaptation to changing network conditions, and learning-based methods for nonlinear optimization and control.

The technical agenda is intentionally open, and the position allows substantial freedom to shape the research direction. The role includes close collaboration with the MIT research team and collaborators, and may involve both theoretical work and large-scale computational studies.

Institution: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Position: Postdoctoral Researcher

Research areas: Networked systems, power-grid topology control, reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, control, optimization

Application: Rolling review and rolling interviews. Early applications are encouraged. The post says the team aims to fill the position by the end of November 2026.
