Sweden. 6 PhD student positions are available at the Automatic Control Laboratory of the School of Electrical Engineering. We have strong competence in basic research in modeling, identification and control, where we are looking for PhD candidates with an interest in mathematics, estimation and control theory for our VR projects in this area.
As a PhD student in the Automatic Control Laboratory you will work in a young and dynamic research environment with an extensive international network. The research group focuses on developing future generations of networked control and sensor systems within several national and European research projects. It has also a strong theoretical competence in modeling, identification, detection and control. The laboratory is a partner of the Centre for Autonomous Systems at KTH, which focuses on robotic research in a broad sense. External collaborators include UC Berkeley, Caltech, ETH and Stanford, as well as GM, ABB, Ericsson, FOI and Scania. The research is interdisciplinary, and involves both theoretical and practical challenges.
Research areas which are relevant to those positions are:
- Control of communication networks
- Control of networked computer systems
- Control over wireless networks
- Monitoring and fault detection
- System identification and experiment design
- Model approximation and reduction
The laboratory has major research efforts in networked control systems and control of communication and multi-agent networks through EU projects and projects supported by the Swedish Research Council (VR), Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA), and Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF), including the Linnaeus Center ACCESS (Autonomic Complex Communication Networks, Signals and Systems).
Qualifications We seek highly motivated individuals holding an MSc degree in electrical engineering, engineering physics, or similar. The candidates should have excellent grades and very good skills in oral and written communication.
They should be ready to contribute to a scientific research area of major importance for Swedish industry and society in general. The positions include up to twenty percent teaching at undergraduate level.
Employment The PhD positions are intended for you who will pursue your own doctoral studies. The position will include about 80% research and 20% teaching assistance. The salary is based on the existing employment agreement for PhD positions at the School of Electrical Engineering.
The application, with curriculum vitae, final grades, and a short description of future professional objectives should be sent as a hardcopy or electronically submitted to
control-phd08@ee.kth.se
KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) School of Electrical Engineering Osquldas väg 10 100 44 STOCKHOLM SWEDEN
Application Deadline: 31 March 2008. Reference number: E-2008- 0065
