Scientist in Socio-Technical Systems Development

vor 2 Wochen


Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz ETH Vollzeit

Job Overview

The position involves working at the intersection of multiple domains, employing tools from Game Theory and Control Theory to model resource allocation problems.

You will work towards a dual goal: developing mathematical foundations of 'karma games' and adapting mechanisms to practical application domains.

Collaboration with experts on different topics is expected, both within the two involved laboratories and with network partners.

Publishing results in peer-reviewed journals and presenting them at international conferences are key aspects of this role.

As a member of NCCR Automation, you will benefit from various opportunities offered by the NCCR, including training, professional development, and collaboration with researchers.

Contributing to NCCR activities when relevant is also expected.

Required Skills and Qualifications

A solid training in necessary mathematical tools, including dynamical systems and control systems, is required. Knowledge of game theory, multi-agent systems, and other related fields is valuable.

Numerical experiments are included in the project, so experience with computational methods and numerical simulations is useful.

Frequent collaborations require a positive attitude towards team work, open communication, and collaborative science.

Workplace Benefits

We offer a multifaceted and challenging position in a modern research environment with excellent infrastructure.

The ideal starting date is negotiable, with a planned duration of 4 years.

The supervision will be joint between the two labs, although formally the student will be affiliated with either the group of Prof. Florian Dörfler or with the group of Prof. Emilio Frazzoli.

We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment where everyone's rights and dignity are respected.

Estimated annual salary: $60,000 - $80,000, depending on qualifications and location.
