Sweden : Postdoctoral researcher position in multi-robot task planning and hybrid control synthesis using formal methods Sponsored Links KTH in Stockholm is the largest and oldest technical university in Sweden. No less than one-third of Sweden’s technical research and engineering education capacity at university level is provided by KTH. Education and research spans from natural sciences to all branches of engineering and includes architecture, industrial management and urban planning. There are a total of just over 14,000 first and second level students and more than 1,700 doctoral students. KTH has almost 4,600 employees. The School of Electrical Engineering conducts research and education in the fields of electrical engineering, systems engineering, information and communications theory, space and fusion plasma physics, and electrical power engineering. 380 people work in this creative and dynamic environment, out of which half are Ph.D. students, many from other countries. Our research projects are carried out in close collaboration with industry partners as well as with research colleagues from Sweden and other countries. The school is responsible for educating engineers in electrical engineering and offers six masters programs, which are in great demand and have a close connection to our main field. The Automatic Control Lab at the School of Electrical Engineering of KTH conducts research in networked control systems, robotics, control of communication systems, systems biology and system identification. Much of the research is conducted within EU projects, as well as within the inter-departmental centers CAS and ACCESS Linnaeus Centre. The group has also strong financial support from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research and the Swedish Research Council. Work description We invite applications for one research associate (postdoc) position in multi-robot task planning and hybrid control using formal methods. The successful candidate will join a research group that is focusing on new design methodologies for distributed planning and control of multi-agent systems using formal verification methodologies from computer science. It is expected that the successful candidate will conduct research in the aforementioned research areas, interact with doctoral and master students, and be involved in collaborative work in national and international projects. The position is associated to the EU STREP Project RECONFIG, reconfig.eu/. The position will also be associated with the KTH Centre for Autonomous Systems, which is an inter-departmental research center that bridges three KTH Schools: Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Communication and Engineering Sciences and conducts research within the integration of robotics, control, computer vision and machine learning. Qualifications Candidates should have (or be near completion) of a PhD related to at least one of the following research areas: robot motion/task planning and control, and multi-agent systems, hybrid control systems, formal verification methods for motion/task planning. Experience with project management and robotic software/hardware implementations (e.g., using ROS) will be considered as a benefit. The successful applicant should have an outstanding research and publication record. Well-developed analytical and problem solving skills are a requirement. We are looking for a strongly motivated person, who is able to work independently. Good command of English orally and in writing is required to present and publish research results. Employment Form of the employment: Time limited, 1 year which may be extended with additional 1 year Work time: Full-time Start date: According to agreement, preferably soonest possible Salary: According to agreement, following the general level for postdoc salary at the school Application The application should include: Full curriculum vitae including your relevant academic and professional experience Copy of the degree certificate(s) from your previously attended university-level institutions, with certified translations in English (unless provided so by the issuing institution) List of publications Research statement, maximum 2 pages long Contact information for two professional references Application deadline: 2013-09-30 Please write the reference number E-2013-0606 on the subject line of your email.
