[Opt-Net] PhD position "Deep Reinforcement Learning for Combinatorial Optimization" at Bielefeld University

[Kevin Tierney]

I am now accepting applications for the PhD position "Deep Reinforcement 
Learning for Combinatorial Optimization"


Please share with anyone looking for a position!

Be a part of the newly-funded DFG project "Automatically learning to 
solve optimization problems with deep reinforcement learning: The quest 
for feasibility" with André Hottung and me at Bielefeld University.

What we offer
- A 3 year, 100% "E13" PhD position (extremely well funded, and includes 
travel money for conferences, PhD schools, etc.)

- Access to two different GPU clusters with 128 Nvidia A100 and 224 
Nvidia V100 GPUs, respectively. (not to mention over 126,000 CPU cores...)

- Years of experience applying DRL to CO problems

- Structured PhD program (BiGSEM) providing interaction with a large 
group of PhD students researching topics in operations research, 
management, economics and data science.

- My research group's "default" language is English, no German language 
knowledge is required for the position and you will feel right at home here.

Why Bielefeld?
- Live right next to the famed Teutoburger forest

- Low living cost relative to other German cities (use your salary for 
something fun, rather than paying for a closet-sized apartment in Munich)

- Has a castle right in the middle of the city

- It actually exists. (if this makes no sense to you... well don't 
worry, the "joke" will be explained to you a hundred times by 
non-Bielefelders)

How to apply
