Postdoctoral position in Systems and Control Engineering of Hybrid Powertrains at the Department of Signals and Systems, Chalmers University.

Chalmers has a long tradition of research in transportation systems, with intensive collaboration with society and automotive industry. A large part of such research is performed at the Department of Signals and Systems, where this post-doctoral position is announced. The position is with the Automatic Control group, belonging to the Control, automation and mechatronics division. At the division, research is conducted on various aspects of dynamics, supervision and control. One of the research themes within the Automatic Control group is the electrification of road transport.

The aim of the proposed research is to address systems engineering issues at the level of complete hybrid powertrains. The interdependence between the design, optimization and control of the complete powertrain and the combustion engine, respectively, is of particular interest.

The postdoctoral position is an appointment that offers an opportunity to qualify for further research positions within academia or industry. The majority of your working time is devoted to your own research. Included in your work is also to take part in supervision of Ph.D. students and M.Sc. thesis students. Teaching of undergraduate students may also be included to a small extent.

The employment is limited to a maximum of 2 years (1+1). 

Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in the systems and control area, preferably with experience from vehicle or automotive applications. Experience from research on vehicle powertrains is highly valued. Ability to initiate new research collaborations is essential.

Good communication skills in oral and written English is a requirement.
