Postdoc in reinforcement learning for stochastic optimization

The Department of Mathematics of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam welcomes applications for a two-year Postdoctoral position in Reinforcement Learning for Stochastic Optimization. The candidate is expected to conduct high-quality research at the intersection of reinforcement learning and stochastic optimization. The objective is to contribute to the development of novel methodologies that advance both theoretical understanding and practical application. The postdoc will actively explore how reinforcement learning techniques can be applied across a range of complex operational domains, such as energy systems, health care, and scheduling and planning. A strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration and the ability to connect with ongoing departmental research efforts are essential. We welcome a candidate with a PhD in mathematics, operations research or computer science who has a strong background in Reinforcement Learning and demonstrated programming skills to join our inclusive and interdisciplinary group.
