PhD student position in Automatic Control in Sweden

The position is with the Division of Automatic Control, Automation and Mechatronics at the Department of Signals and Systems. At the division, we have for many years conducted research in automatic control with automotive applications. One of the projects concerns feedback control of combustion engines and is carried out in cooperation with other research groups within CERC, Combustion Engine Research Centre. The objective of the project is to investigate how new sensors can be used to continuously control the combustion in order to e.g. improve the engine efficiency. The project now needs to be strengthened with a PhD student in automatic control, with an emphasis on feedback control of diesel engines.

Tasks
The position involves research in modelling, estimation and control, relevant for the application and in cooperation with researchers in signal processing and combustion engineering. The PhD position, which aims at a doctoral degree, also encompasses attending PhD courses and teaching at the bachelor and/or master level.

Requirements
You should have an MSc degree with excellent skills in control and signal processing. Basic knowledge of combustion engines is an advantage. You are required to have a strong personal drive, and you should be able to communicate efficiently and to cooperate in a team. Since much of the division's teaching is in English, you must be fluent in both spoken and written English.
