The complexity of human engineered systems is reaching such high levels that traditional, manual based methods for analysing and controlling them are no longer applicable. This position aims to tackle the challenge of learning to control and/or monitor such complex systems from data. Scientific goals include determining how self-organization, adaptation/evolution, and fragility/resilience can be used to understand, monitor and control such complex systems. This fundamental framework makes it possible to develop control and monitoring systems for demanding industrial application fields such as large-scale mechatronic systems, dynamic positioning systems, ocean and wind energy harvesting systems.
This position is located in the Data Driven Control section within DCSC. Within this section of DCSC the focus is on the analysis and decision making for large-scale (in size) multi-disciplinary dynamical systems. It addresses the question about what model complexity is necessary for all individual system components in order to use data-driven models for reliable and robust model based diagnostics, parameter estimation, monitoring and control.
Cooperation with other members of the scientific staff and establishing relationships with practitioners are important. Moreover, you will contribute to teaching at the MSc and BSc levels. Every new Assistant Professor will be given a Tenure Track position. This process leading up to a permanent appointment with the prospect of becoming an Associate or full Professor, offers young, talented academics a clear and attractive career path. During the Tenure Track, you will have the opportunity to develop into an internationally acknowledged and recognised academic. We offer a structured career and personal development programme designed to offer individual academics as much support as possible.
The successful candidate has the following qualifications:
Fixed-term contract: Tenure track.
A tenure-track position is offered for six years. Based on performance indicators agreed upon at the start of the appointment, a decision will be made by the fifth year whether to offer you a permanent faculty position.
