Topic: Entropy

Workshop bringing together researchers working on AI for learning dynamics from data, with a special focus on information-theoretic methods. Topics include predictive information, the information bottleneck, latent-variable models, entropy and mutual-information estimation, world models of biological systems, and connections to dynamical systems and control theory. The workshop is part of the six-week NITMB program “Image-Based Scientific Machine Learning for Theories of Biological Dynamics Across Scales” (February 1–March 12, 2027). Program: AI in Biological Dynamics Scientific Focus

Three two-year postdoctoral positions investigate the origins of irreversible behaviour through mathematical physics, theoretical physics and the history of physics. Topics include entropy, randomness, statistical mechanics, gravitational and holographic systems, and the historical development of chaos. Researchers join the Radboud Center for Natural Philosophy and collaborate across disciplines. The full-time gross monthly salary is EUR 3,706–5,760, according to experience. Apply by 14 October 2026 with a motivation letter, CV/publications, three referees and the position or positions sought.
