PhD position: Formal methods in control (Munich, Germany)
=========================================================

We invite applications for a doctoral researcher position in the
field of formal methods in control. The successful candidate is
expected to advance theory of as well as computational methods for
abstraction-based controller synthesis, to a degree that facilitates
routine, fully automated, practical application of the approach to
nonlinear continuous-state plants and complex specifications. The
focus is on synthesis algorithms that are both efficient and formally
correct.

The project involves theoretical work, algorithm and software
development, and, on a small scale, experimental work. There is no
teaching requirement and no coursework to be completed. Competitive
salary is offered according to the tariff ``TVOeD Bund, E 13''.

  Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related
  field. Students about to complete their MSc will also be considered.
* Excellent academic record, showing a strong theoretical/mathematical
  background and a strong interest in dynamical systems.
* Proficiency in programming (C or Ada/SPARK).
* Excellent communication skills in English (CEFR level C1).

In addition, experience in one of the following fields would be a
plus: Set-valued or validated numerics; dynamic programming;
formal methods in control; reactive synthesis;
professional-grade software development.

Your complete application consists of the following documents, which
should be sent as a single PDF file to the email address given below
(deadline: Feb 15, 2017):

* CV with photo
* One-page cover letter (clearly indicating available start date as
  well as relevant qualifications, experience and motivation)
* University certificates and transcripts (both BSc and MSc degrees)
* Contact details of up to three referees

All documents should be in English, with the exception of university
certificates and transcripts, which may also be in German. The
position is open to applicants worldwide; no special security
clearance necessary.
