About NETWORKS and COFUND
The NETWORKS project is a collaboration of world-leading researchers from four institutions in The Netherlands: TU Eindhoven, University of Amsterdam, Leiden University and the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). Research in NETWORKS focuses on stochastics and algorithmics for network problems. NETWORKS offers a highly stimulating research environment and an extensive training program for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows.

NETWORKS was awarded a COFUND grant the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), funded by the European Commission. The grant allows NETWORKS to expand its activities by opening positions for in total 14 postdoctoral fellows. Within this programme we now have a vacancy for a postdoctoral fellow in Applied Probability and Stochastic Operations Research at Eindhoven University of Technology. We in particular seek talented researchers with expertise in approximate and exact operations research methods for stochastic networks.
