Researcher in Automatic Control - algorithms for large-scale systems - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Description of the workplace 
Automatic Control is an exciting and broad subject, covering both advanced mathematics and hands-on engineering. Historically, it has been instrumental in many areas, from the early development of telecommunications to the space race. Today, driven by the need to engineer ever larger systems, Automatic Control is more relevant than ever.
Within the project ICAROS we do theoretical research within mathematical optimization with specific focus on Lyapunov based analysis and design of first order algorithms solving monotone inclusion problems. For this project we are now looking for a coworker.

Does this sound interesting?

If so, you are welcome to apply for a position as researcher at the Department of Automatic Control at Lund University (https://www.control.lth.se/). The department has a stimulating and international environment with PhD students, postdocs, and teachers coming from all corners of the world. Research and teaching are conducted in an open and progressive atmosphere with collaborations both within academia and with industry, nationally as well as internationally. 

We offer 
Lund University is a public authority which means that employees get particular benefits, generous annual leave and an advantageous occupational pension scheme. It is advisable to enter information on what your unit specifically can offer as a new workplace.

Work duties 

The main task is to do theoretical research within mathematical optimization with specific focus on Lyapunov based analysis and design of first order algorithms solving monotone inclusion problems. Another work duty is to contribute to supervision of doctoral students working on such algorithms and also to contribute to the general discussion on research at the department. The position also includes the opportunity for three weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning.

Qualifications  

Required qualifications for the position are:

•  A PhD or equivalent research qualification within the mathematics or automatic control. 
• Very good oral and written proficiency in English. 
• Good knowledge and experience of Lyapunov based analysis of algorithms

Additional qualifications for the position are:

•  Postdoc within a relevant subject for the project is a merit.
• Good oral and written proficiency in Swedish is meriting.
• Publications in prestigious journals for optimization are meriting. High quality in previous work is more meriting than quantity.
• Knowledge of research within optimization done at the department is a merit.

Consideration will also be given to how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development. 

Further information 
The position is a fixed term position for one year at 100 per cent of full time and starting in July 1, 2022.

How to apply 
Applications are to be submitted via the University’s recruitment system. The application should include a CV and a personal letter justifying your interest in the position and how it matches your qualifications. The application should also include a degree certificate or equivalent and any other document to which you would like to draw attention (copies of grade transcripts, details of referees, letters of recommendation, etc.)”
