*******************************************************************************************************************
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>
