[DMANET] PhD position in Explainable Combinatorial Optimisation (TU Delft, The Netherlands)

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to work on the intersection between combinatorial optimisation, AI, and explainability. The goal of the project is to develop novel combinatorial optimisation methods that not only exhibit excellent performance, but also concisely break down the main factors behind automated decision-making in a way that is easy for humans to interpret.

The candidate with join the newly formed XAIT Delft AI Lab alongside three other PhD students. The aim of the lab is to develop novel approaches that focus on the explainable aspect of artificial intelligence for transportation and other civil engineering problems and promote AI-related education. The position is for five years. The extra year compared to the usual four-year contract accommodates the 20% additional AI-related education related activities.

The PhD student will be supervised by Dr Emir Demirović and Dr. Gonçalo Correia at TU Delft (The Netherlands).

The deadline for applications is June 13. Candidates are strongly encouraged to submit their application before the deadline, as applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The aim is to conduct interviews and complete the hiring process by the beginning of July.
