[Job-offers-cs] Postdoc position at Weierstrass Institute, Berlin, intersection of mathematical optimization-machine learning-optimal control

[Pekka Orponen]

The Weierstrass Institute (WIAS) in Berlin, Germany, is looking for a 
postdoc candidate passionate about conducting research in the 
intersection of mathematical optimization, machine learning, optimal 
control with a focus on robustness under distribution shift. The 
position is associated with a third-party funded research project led 
by/Dr. Jia-Jie Zhu <https://jj-zhu.github.io/> (WIAS Berlin)/and/Dr. 
Michael Hintermüller 
<https://www.wias-berlin.de/people/hintermueller/?lang=1> (WIAS/ 
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)/. The initial funding period will run 
for two years, starting January 1st, 2022. The applicants should have 
completed their Ph.D. degrees by the starting date of the project.

Subject and candidate qualification

Motivated by numerous partial differential equation (PDE) related 
practical applications, a pressing challenge for data-driven 
optimization and control systems is the ubiquitous distribution shift, 
which implies higher demand for the robustness of the 
learning-for-control design. The project, funded by the Excellence 
Cluster MATH+: The Berlin Mathematics Research Center, aims to 
address*data-driven robust control and optimization of dynamical systems 
under data distribution shifts,*using principled tools from applied 
mathematics and statistical machine learning as well as reinforcement 
learning. We invite candidates whose scholar*profiles are mainly 
theoretical*and exhibit proven excellence in research. We specifically 
prefer two types of mathematical research experiences:

(1) either in principled statistical machine learning/reinforcement 
learning theory (related to dynamical systems, time series, Markov 
decision process (MDP), principled control theory).

(2) and/or in applied mathematics, in optimization, numerical analysis, 
optimal/robust/stochastic control, dynamical systems (PDEs and S(P)DEs), 
data-driven modeling of dynamics, theory of model predictive control (MPC).
