The Research Training Group “Machine Learning and Control Theory: Exploring Synergies, Complementarities and Mutual Benefits” (METEOR) is offering 10 PhD and 2 postdoctoral positions ranked according to the German TV-L E13 scale (100%), for periods of four years (PhD) and three years (postdoc) respectively, starting in April 2026.

METEOR is a joint initiative between the University of Munich (LMU) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It aims to train a new generation of researchers specializing in the intersection of machine learning and control theory for complex dynamical systems. The RTG will pursue four main research themes:

– Modeling and Quantification of Uncertainty for Robust Control – Representation for Dynamical Systems and Control – Control Theory for Machine Learning Algorithm Design – Formal Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms via Control Theory
