The Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics, Eindhoven University of Technology, seeks postdoc researchers who are interested in developing cutting-edge Bayesian AI agents under the theme “Postdoc Probabilistic AI for Flexible Energy Management Solutions”.
In this postdoc, candidates will design Bayesian agents that predict and advise on flexible energy usage. By reasoning with uncertainty, these agents contribute to the reliability of energy networks in the Netherlands. This research requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining probabilistic (Bayesian) AI techniques with domain knowledge from industrial partners.
Their main task will be to design artificial agents for flexible energy management, on an individual and collective level, based on a leading physics/neuroscientific theory about computation in the brain, the Free Energy Principle (FEP).
Duration: 2.5 years
Salary
- Salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale 10 (min. €4,020 max. €5,278).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs on general skills, didactics and topics related to research and valorization.
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children’s daycare and sports facilities.
- Partially paid parental leave and an allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
Job Requirements
Applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Motivated researcher, with a PhD in (Bayesian) machine learning, physics, computer science, or a comparable domain.
