There are multiple postdoctoral openings in the Process Systems and Control Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. The positions are in the broad area of dynamic modeling and control of nonlinear, uncertain systems. The specific systems under study include 1) continuous ABE fermentation processes for biofuel production (in collaboration with the Energy Biosciences Institute), and 2) active regulation of cell-signaling pathways in living cells (in collaboration with the Department of Bioengineering). The candidates are expected to hold a doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering (or related disciplines). Strong background in dynamic modeling, advanced control, and uncertainty analysis is required. Prior experience with biomass conversion processes and biological systems will be preferred. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter (clearly indicating the project of interest), CV, and the contact details of three references to Dr. Ali Mesbah at [log in to unmask] The positions are available starting immediately and will be open until filled. An initial appointment will be made for one year, and will be renewable contingent on performance and availability of funding. -- Ali Mesbah Assistant Professor Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering University of California, Berkeley http://cheme.berkeley.edu/faculty/mesbah/
