KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm is the largest and oldest 
technical university in Sweden. No
less than one-third of Swedens  technical research and engineering education 
capacity at university level is
provided by KTH. Education and  research spans from natural sciences to all 
branches of engineering and
includes architecture, industrial  management and urban planning. There are a 
total of just over 15,000 first
and second level students and more than 1,600 doctoral students. KTH has almost 
4,300 employees.

The School of Electrical Engineering conducts research and education in the 
fields of electrical engineering,
systems engineering, information and communications theory, space and fusion 
plasma physics, and electrical
power engineering. 360 people work in this creative and dynamic environment, 
out of which half are Ph.D. students,
many from other countries. Our research projects are carried out in close 
collaboration with industry partners as
well as with research colleagues from Sweden and other countries. The school is 
responsible for educating civil
engineers in electrical engineering and five masters programs which are in 
great demand and which have a close
connection to our main fields.

The Automatic Control Lab conducts fundamental research in optimization and 
control of communication systems,
networked control systems, and systems theory. Industrial projects involve 
partners such as Ericsson Research and
ABB Network Automation. A major part of the research is conducted within the 
ACCESS Linnaeus Centre, Europes
largest university research centre in networked systems, and in EU-projects in 
collaboration with European industry
and universities. We have a large academic network and collaborate with 
researchers at Caltech, ETH Zurich, MIT,
UC Berkeley, Stanford, among others.

We are currently looking for 1-3 PhD students with a strong background and 
interest in mathematics, optimization,
networking, control and systems theory.

Our research projects will support these PhD students within the areas of

 Estimation, learning, and classification from large datasets;
 Optimization, dynamic modeling and adaptation of future wireless networks;
 Privacy preserving optimization over networks;
 Wireless networks at a large and small-scale for medical applications;
 Wireless sensor networks.

Qualifications of Candidates

We seek highly motivated individuals holding an MSc degree in electrical 
engineering, engineering physics, bioengineering,
mathematics, computer science or similar fields. The candidates should have 
excellent grades and very good
skills in oral and written communication. They should be ready to contribute to 
an international research group
and a scientific research agenda of major importance for European industry and 
society. KTH aims to employ a
diversity of talent and thus welcomes applicants who will add to the variety of 
the University.

Employment

PhD positions are intended for those who pursue their own doctoral studies. The 
positions include about 80%
research and 20% teaching assistance duties. The salary is based on the 
existing employment agreement for
PhD position at the School of Electrical Engineering.

Application

The application shall include the following

 CV (maximum 2 pages) including education and relevant academic/work experience
 A brief statement on why the applicant wishes to pursue PhD studies
 Contact information to three references
 Degree certificate(s) and official transcripts of records.

Above described documents should be merged into one single pdf-file, and 
attached to application e-mail.

Applications should be emailed to 0... at ee.kth.se<mailto:0... at ee.kth.se>

Please indicate Employers reference number E-2013-0052 in the e-mail subject 
line.

Deadline for application is 2013-03-18 (Monday, March 18, 2013)
