Lausanne, Schweiz emploi.epfl.ch Vollzeit

**Mission**
- The DECODE (Dependable Control and Decision) group focuses on complex control systems, where coupling between subsystems, local sources of uncertainty, and structural changes can undermine reliability and generate dangerous behaviors. By leveraging tools from control theory, optimization, and machine learning, we contribute to the development of next-generation systems that are dependable, more autonomous and self adapt to changes in the internal dynamics and the surrounding environment.

The DECODE group is part of the EPFL Automatic Control Laboratory and the NCCR automation.

**Main duties and responsibilities**
- Two PhD positions are available within the Dependable Control and Decision (DECODE) group of EPFL (Switzerland). The student will work in the collaborative framework of the National Centre of Competence in Research “NCCR Automation“, which supports research in automatic control across Switzerland.

Each PhD student will contribute to one of the following projects:

- “Nonlinear data-driven control: robust closed-loop stability and performance guarantees”
- “A Bayesian framework for optimal control”, jointly supervised by Giancarlo Ferrari-Trecate and Andreas Krause (ETHZ)

**Profile**
- A Master’s degree from a recognized University
- Strong background in Systems and Control and/or theoretical Machine Learning and a keen interest in Mathematics and conducting formal proofs.
- Creativity and motivation
- Excellent English language skills

**We offer**
- 4 years to complete your PhD with a competitive remuneration
- A world-class research and training environment with access to state-of-the-art research facilities;
- A multi-cultural and stimulating work environment;
- Term of employment: 1-year fixed-term contract (CDD), renewable for 4 years.

**Informations**

Applications can be submitted even before obtaining the Master’s degree according to the following deadlines: April 15th and December 15th.
- Activity Rate : 100.00
- Contract Type : CDD for 1 year renewable
- Reference : 1157
