Researcher in Physical Learning Machines

AMOLF is seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our Learning Machines group. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of fundamental understanding and theories regarding learning in physical systems, under real-world constraints. Our group aims to bridge knowledge gaps between computational and biological learning, as well as design physical learning machines that autonomously solve hard inverse design problems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct research in physical learning machines, focusing on theoretical understanding and physically realizable learning rules.
  • Develop and analyze new methods for diverse dynamical systems to learn, inspired by biological learning systems.
  • Study the interplay of structure, interactions, and function in physical learning systems.
  • Collaborate with international groups and companies to advance the field of physical learning machines.
Requirements
  • Strong background in physics, biophysics, electrical/mechanical engineering, materials science, or computer science.
  • Excellent communication skills in English.
  • Experience with coding (Python/Matlab) and numerical methods is advantageous.
  • Familiarity with concepts in machine learning is a plus.
What We Offer
  • A full-time appointment for four years, with a starting salary of €2,781 gross per month.
  • Access to AMOLF resources, including computational models and experimental facilities.
  • Opportunities for collaboration with international groups and companies.
  • Support for housing, visa applications, and transport costs for foreign PhD students.
