At the Division of Automatic Control, Department of Electrical Engineering of Linkoping University, Sweden, we are now looking for 2 PhD students.
The two positions are in the following areas:
- Complex networks, in particular multiagent dynamics with special focus on human decisions and opinion dynamics. The research will deal with both theoretical and computational aspects, The student will develop dynamical models and apply them to e.g. socio-technological networks.

- Machine learning, in particular dealing with generative models and instabilities associated with cycles of retraining on mixtures of human and machine-generated data. The task is to understand phenomena like “model collapse” and implementing strategies to avert it, using tools from the Systems and Control field. This position is in association with WASP (Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program), Sweden’s largest individual research program ever.
