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 the state of the art of abstraction-based synthesis and verification, to facilitate routine and efficient application of the approach to nonlinear continuous-state plants and complex specifications. Depending on background and interests of the candidate, the research focus will be either on algorithms and software development, or on theoretical foundations.

Required qualifications:
* MSc degree (or equivalent, giving access to doctoral studies) in
  Mathematics, Systems and Control, Computer Science, or a related
  field. Students about to complete their MSc will also be considered.
* Strong theoretical or mathematical background, and a strong interest
  in dynamical or control systems.
* Programming skills.
* Efficient communication skills in English.

In addition, an intended focus on algorithms and software requires past exposure to and strong interest in professional-grade software development, while for a focus on theoretical foundations a strong mathematical or theoretical background is needed. Experience in one of the following fields would be a plus but is not necessarily required:
Set-valued or validated numerics; dynamic programming; formal methods in control; reactive synthesis; information-based complexity / optimal recovery.

The position is full-time and paid according to pay scale ``TVOeD Bund, E 13''. Initial appointment is for two years, with possible extension contingent on availability of funds and research performance. The position is open to applicants worldwide; no special security clearance necessary.

Your complete application consists of the following documents, which should be sent as a single PDF file to the email address given below
(deadline: May 5, 2019):

* 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
* Possibly an English language certificate and a list of publications

All documents should be in English or German.
