<span class="gmail-break-words"><span><span dir="ltr"><br>
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.<br>
<br>
What we offer<br>
- A 3 year, 100% "E13" PhD position (extremely well funded,
and includes travel money for conferences, PhD schools, etc.)<br>
<br>
- Access to two different GPU clusters with 128 Nvidia A100
and 224 Nvidia V100 GPUs, respectively. (not to mention over
126,000 CPU cores...)<br>
<br>
- Years of experience applying DRL to CO problems<br>
<br>
- Structured PhD program (BiGSEM) providing interaction with a
large group of PhD students researching topics in operations
research, management, economics and data science.<br>
<br>
- 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.<br>
<br>
Why Bielefeld?<br>
- Live right next to the famed Teutoburger forest<br>
<br>
- Low living cost relative to other German cities (use your
salary for something fun, rather than paying for a
closet-sized apartment in Munich)<br>
<br>
- Has a castle right in the middle of the city<br>
<br>
- 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)<br>
