This postdoc position is supervised by Christopher Hojny. The vacancy can be found at https://www.tue.nl/en/working-at-tue/vacancy-overview/postdoc-in-symmetry-handling-in-bilevel-programming> The vacancy remains open until a suitable candidate has been found and closes definitively on March 6, 2026. Starting date: preferably June 1, 2026 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Bilevel programming (BP) is a powerful mathematical framework for modeling hierarchical decision-making processes involving two players: a leader and a follower. In energy network design, for example, the leader aims to build a robust network that mitigates failures caused by the follower?s actions. A key characteristic of such applications is the presence of symmetries. For instance, a symmetric network naturally leads to symmetric failure scenarios, which are reflected in BP models. However, current BP software can neither detect nor exploit these symmetries. As a result, despite BP?s strong modeling capabilities, existing technology can only handle relatively small-scale problems. In the SymBi project (Exploiting Symmetries for Faster Bilevel Optimization Algorithms), we address this limitation by developing a general mathematical theory of symmetries in BP and efficient algorithms for symmetry detection and exploitation. While the related field of mixed-integer programming (MIP) primarily uses symmetries to eliminate redundant parts of the solution space, SymBi goes further: it aims to enhance other components of BP solvers, such as cutting planes, to achieve a stronger coupling between leader and follower decisions. The research activities of the postdoc will include - defining a mathematically sound notion of symmetries for bilevel optimization problems, - developing a novel theory for exploiting symmetries that is tailored for bilevel optimization problems, and - implementing and testing the developed algorithms for solving benchmark problems. Next to the research tasks, the postdoc will be asked to assist, for a small percentage of their time, with educational tasks (course support and supervision of students). JOB REQUIREMENTS - You are a motivated researcher, with a PhD in integer programming, bilevel programming, mathematical optimization, or a comparable domain. - You have very good programming skills, preferably in C/C++. - You are able to conduct high quality academic research, reflected in demonstrable outputs. - You have a proven ability to manage complex projects to completion on schedule. - You have excellent (written and verbal) proficiency in English, good communication skills (knowledge of the Dutch language is not required). CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT We offer a meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you: - Full-time employment for 3 years. Please note that for a postdoc position, our departmental policy is that we offer a one-year contract first, which is extended based on good performance. - Salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale 10 (min. ? 4,241 max. ? 5,538). - 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 day care and sports facilities. - Partially paid parental leave and an allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs. - A TU/e Postdoc Association that helps you to build a stronger and broader academic and personal network, and offers tailored support, training and workshops. - A Staff Immigration Team is available for international candidates, as are a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) and a compensation for moving expenses.
