Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to Call CdR03/25 for a two-year postdoctoral research contract related to the project titled:

* Mean-Field Games, Transport, and Optimization in Self-Organized Systems and Machine Learning

* The research project will concern: the integration of mean-field game theory, calculus of variations and collective dynamics of interacting agents, even in the presence of random perturbations. The development, through optimal transport tools and stochastic analysis, of numerical and machine learning models for the geometric analysis of high-dimensional data distributions and applications in neural networks and reinforcement learning is planned.

The project is funded by the Italian Ministry for Universities and Research (MUR) under D.D. 47/2025, as part of the PNRR program:

* Mission 4 "Education and Research," Component 2 "From Research to Business," Investment 1.2 (NextGenerationEU initiative)

The position is labelled as MATH-03/A (Mathematical Analysis); however, the project is broad and interdisciplinary, encompassing topics such as: stochastic analysis, mathematical modelling, optimisation, complex systems, and machine learning.

Therefore, researchers with expertise in probability, applied mathematics, numerical modelling, and AI, are strongly encouraged to apply.
