Postdoctoral Researcher in Responsible Automation

The Frazzoli group at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control, Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work in the context of NCCR Automation on the broad theme of Responsible Automation (how to align control and design objectives with societal interest).

The position is available immediately. The initial appointment is for 1 year, with renewals up to 4 years.

The Responsible Automation initiative within NCCR Automation aims to address the societal impacts of automation technologies, ensuring they are equitable, ethical, and aligned with societal values. This includes designing frameworks and mechanisms that prioritize sustainability, fairness, and trust in automated systems.

Profile
  • Come with an open mind & stay at least 3 years
  • Be comfortable with interdisciplinary "blue sky" research
  • Seek impact rather than theorems
  • Be excited about learning something new (such as applied category theory)
Responsibilities
  • Be a shining example of integrity and intellectual honesty
  • Advise and collaborate with graduate students
  • Teach undergraduate and graduate-level control classes
We Offer

As a member of the NCCR Automation, you will benefit from the many opportunities offered by the NCCR (training, professional development, collaboration with researchers in academia and industry) and are expected to contribute to the NCCR activities when relevant (communication, technology transfer, equal opportunities, outreach).

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected. Visit the NCCR Automation Equal Opportunities page to learn how we ensure a fair and open environment that allows everyone to grow and flourish.
