PhD/ Post-Doc – Unsolicited Applications for Scientific Positions

The Chair of Information-Oriented Control is always searching for outstanding candidates in the areas of human-centered, networked and data-driven control, as well as cooperative robotics.

Excellent people with a strong disciplinary background (system theory, optimization, robotics and/or mechatronics, control, mechanical or electrical engineering, communication, information theory, computer languages C, C++ and Python) and interest to work in an interdisciplinary environment are desired.

About us:

At the Chair of Information-Oriented Control we focus on research and teaching of control and optimization of cooperative, networked, and distributed dynamical systems. We develop novel methods and tools for the analysis and control of such systems, taking particularly into account model uncertainties as well as limitations pertaining to acquisition of data, communication, and computation. We apply our methods mainly to human-robot-teams, haptic assistance, cyber-physical systems, and infrastructure systems. While our core competence is control engineering and robotics, we have some interdisciplinary collaborations with the fields of psychology (in human-robot interaction) and communications (in networked control systems). Many of the developed methods are experimentally validated in our multi-robot lab.

To learn more about our research and ongoing projects, we invite you to read our current publications and visit the websites of our individual team members. If you have questions about our group culture or specific research topics, please feel free to contact us. However, make sure to first check the FAQs to see if your question has already been answered.

Your profil:

  • Completed university degree in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, or a comparable field.
  • In-depth knowledge of control engineering, robotics, and communication technology.
  • Experience with high-level programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python.
  • Convincing academic record.
  • Enthusiasm, creativity, and the ability to work independently and responsibly.
