The Department of
Automatic Control at KTH conducts fundamental and applied
research in system identification, optimization and control of
wireless networks, networked systems, and systems theory. The
department is internationally well established, has many
research collaborations with excellent partners worldwide, and
is involved in several European and national projects.
Industrial projects involve partners such as ABB Corporate
Research, ABB Process Automation, BillerudKorsnäs, Ericsson
Research, and Scania. We have a large academic network and
collaborate with researchers at MIT, Harvard University, UC
Berkeley, Stanford, TU Eindhoven, and Université de Lyon among
others.
The department has
one open postdoc position within model based optimization of
biopharmaceutical production by mammalian cell systems. We seek
candidates with background from modeling of reaction networks,
parameter estimation and off- and on-line optimization (Model
Predictive Control), preferably with applications in
bioproduction. The project is carried out in collaboration with
the School of Biotechnology, KTH, and several industrial
partners.
Candidates should
have a Ph.D. or be near Ph.D. defense, in Electrical
Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Biotechnology. The
candidate should have a strong background from at least one of
the areas bioprocess modeling, system identification or Model
Predictive Control, and experience from at least one more of
these areas.
The successful
applicant should have an outstanding research and publication
record. Well-developed analytical and problem solving skills are
a requirement. We are looking for a strongly motivated person,
who is able to work independently. Good command of English
orally and in writing is required to present and publish
research results.
