Three-Year Research Position at Ruhr University Bochum: Collective Algorithmic Recourse within the DFG SPP Programme

The research group *IntelligentTechnical Systems* (Lernende technische
Systeme) at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information
Technology, Ruhr University Bochum, is looking for a

*Research Associate (postdoc or Ph.D. student)*

to fill a *three-year* full-time position at the *earliest possible date*.

The researcher will work on the development of robust and efficient *collective
algorithmic recourse methods* to enhance the resilience of mission-critical
networked systems. The project lies at the intersection of *machine
learning, optimization, and multi-agent systems*, addressing challenges
arising from resource volatility and uncertainty in dynamic environments.
The work includes both *theoretical analysis*—covering efficiency,
scalability, and convergence—as well as the *application* of the proposed
methods to optimize networked systems.

The position is part of a *DFG Priority Programme (SPP)*, which provides
excellent opportunities for scientific exchange and networking. The
successful candidate will have the chance to participate in project
meetings, workshops, and joint programme events to further develop their
expertise and build research connections.

*Application deadline: 15 December 2025*
