    About the job

    The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.

    The position is related to the ERC Advanced Grant project "Control of light vehicle-manipulator systems" (). In this project we aim to develop a control framework that enables light and freely moving autonomous robots that can perform complex and versatile operations, involving highly precise and forceful physical interactions, in challenging environments. We specifically target the underwater environment, as this poses particularly severe challenges, including unmodelled time-varying hydrodynamic forces, uncertain hydrodynamic coefficients, and strong environmental disturbances.

    The role of the postdoctoral fellow will be to investigate how the recent ground-breaking developments in data-driven AI can be combined with more traditional control methods to achieve further improved performance and robustness while also providing the safety guarantees that are required for the safety-critical systems that the autonomous robots considered in CRÈME constitute, but which are generally not provided by data-driven methods.

    Your immediate leader is Professor Kristin Ytterstad Pettersen.

    Duties of the position

  • Research into nonlinear and data-driven control of light underwater vehicle-manipulator systems to improve the performance and robustness of safety-critical operations. This includes both theoretical and experimental research work.
  • Teaching two semesters of a MSc-level course on Nonlinear Control Systems.
  • Co-supervise master- and PhD-students associated with the CRÈME project.
  • Required selection criteria

  • You must have completed a Norwegian doctoral degree or a corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian PhD in Engineering Cybernetics. Candidates who are in the process of completing their PhD studies and will defend their thesis within are also invited to apply.
  • You must have a strong background and research experience in control of marine vehicles.
  • You must have a strong background and research experience in advanced-level nonlinear control.
  • Due to the research and teaching tasks of the position, the candidate must have good written and oral English and Norwegian language skills.
  • The appointment is to be made in accordance with

    Preferred selection criteria

  • You have experience teaching, or as a teaching assistant in, a MSc-level course on Nonlinear Control Systems.
  • You can start working on the project in early fall, as the fellowship is part of an EU project approaching its end.
  • Personal characteristics

  • Emphasis will be placed on personal and interpersonal qualities.
  • We seek a candidate who is motivated and able to engage in theoretical and experimental research work, has good communication and networking skills, is proactive and forthcoming, and can take on a supporting role for the PhD students in the project.
