I am looking for qualified applicants for a doctoral researcher position in the DFG-fundend project EffiSynth — Design of Energy Effficient Mechatronic Systems based on Automated Controller Synthesis and Trajectory Planning.

Please submit your application via email by November 1st 2015. The position is to be filled by January 2015. The position is for two years, but, if possible, may be extended.

For more information also see the German description of the position.

The goal of this project is to develop methods and tools for engineers to design energy efficient mechatronic systems, for example production systems, that optimize the reuse of braking energy in the system.

This interdisciplinary research project will be carried out in cooperation with the Institute of Mechatronic Systems in Hannover (Jens Kotlarski). I am seeking candidates with a background on model-based software engineering and/or formal methods. Knowledge of mechanical- or control engineering or robotics is a plus. Required is a masters degree (or equivalent) in computer science or a related field of study.

Don’t hesitate to contact me for more information.
