1-3 Postdocs in learning dynamical systems - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

Learning Dynamical Systems is an area closely related to cyber-physical systems as well as real-time big data analytics, and it provides backbone algorithms for digitalization of industry and society. Together with researchers from Uppsala University, and with strong support from the Swedish Research Council, we host the research environment NewLEADS  for this core technology with applications such as smart buildings, self-driving vehicles, and self-learning robots. As a postdoc in NewLEADS you will work together with researchers from the two schools.

We focus on theory development around three important themes: Fundamental techniques focuses on how to learn parsimonious models for dynamical systems in a statistical and computationally efficient way. Active and on-line learning concerns how to improve data-efficiency by actively controlling the excitation of the system in a sequential manner, possibly together with an application specific objective. Dynamical networked systems addresses issues of relevance to interconnected dynamical systems systems, a field rapidly increasing in importance. A very challenging application concerns modeling, experiment design and optimization of  mammalian cell bioprocesses used for production of biopharmaceuticals. This is done in  collaboration with the Centre for Advanced BioProduction (AdBIOPRO) which hosts experimental faciltites.

What we offer

• International workplace.
• A leading technical university that creates knowledge and expertise for a sustainable future.
• Here you get colleagues with high ambitions in an open, curious and dynamic environment.
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH

Qualifications

Requirements

• A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, within a relevant topic for the position, such as, e.g., system identification, statistical learning theory, machine learning or control theoryobtained.
• The doctoral degree must have been completed within three years prior to the application deadline.

The successful applicants should have an outstanding research and publication record. Well-developed analytical and problem solving skills are a requirement. We are looking for strongly motivated candidates, who are able to work both independently and in collaboration with others. Good command of English orally and in writing is required to present and publish research results.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal competence and suitability.
