Vacancy: PostDoc AI and Health for 3 years @ Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

[Hoogendoorn, M. (Mark)]

Dear all,

We have a 3-year PostDoc position in the area of AI and Health within the Stress in Action project at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

We are looking for a PostDoc who will do research on the intersection of machine learning (ML) and statistics. The focus will be on enriching statistical methods through advanced machine learning techniques, for instance, by learning latent representations of the data. In addition to utilizing such techniques for predictive modeling scenarios, causal modeling is also within the scope of the position. The methodological innovations are intended to result in better techniques to predict and understand real life stress. The position is embedded in the ten-year gravitation grant Stress in Action, funded through NWO (Dutch National Science Foundation). 

The position is a collaboration between the QDA group of VU Amsterdam (led by Mark Hoogendoorn), the Biostatistics group of Erasmus MC (led by Dimitris Rizopoulos), and Laura Bringmann's intensive longitudinal data lab at the University of Groningen. Amsterdam will be the main office location for this position.

For more information please follow the link below, the application deadline is 19 April 2026.
