The Department of Information Technology at Uppsala University, Sweden, has an open position for an Associate Professor in Automatic Control.
The new associate professor will join the Division of Systems and Control, where we develop both theory and concrete tools to design systems that learn, reason, and act in the real world based on a seamless combination of data, mathematical models, and algorithms.
Our research integrates expertise from control theory, optimization, system identification, machine learning, and applied mathematics, spanning diverse application domains such as medicine, energy systems, biomedical systems, neuroscience, and safety and security.
The successful candidate is encouraged to build an active research group with specialization in any topic in automatic control and to contribute to the corresponding teaching program.
The position is associated with funding for one PhD student and time-limited startup funds for research, conferences, networking, and other activities.
