Job Description

Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

Postdoctoral Associate: Stochastic Reachability for Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico (UNM) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate with an anticipated start date of March 2020.

Position:

The postdoctoral associate will work with an interdisciplinary team of researchers in Electrical and Computer Engineering and in Computer Science to develop theory and algorithms to enable autonomy in dynamic and uncertain environments. Specifically, the postdoctoral associate will 1) incorporate stochastic reachable sets into a model predictive control framework, and investigate convergence, convexity, and optimality, 2) develop scalable under-approximations in the case of imperfect measurements, and 3) integrate learning into stochastic reachability-based planning algorithms, to enable navigation in dynamic environments with poorly characterized uncertainty. This is a benefits-eligible, one-year appointment that may be renewed for an additional year contingent upon satisfactory performance and availability of resources. No teaching is expected during the appointment. Salary is dependent upon experience and qualification.

How to apply:

Interested candidates should provide a CV, a cover letter summarizing capabilities and interests, and contact information for three professional references.

Please apply to UNM jobs requisition #11321 through the following link: https://unm.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/18/home?c=unm&sq=req11321.

Applications received by February 15, 2020, will receive full consideration, although the position will remain open until filled.

Minimum Qualifications:

Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. by the time of appointment in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or a closely related field, and demonstrate excellent potential for research.

Preferred Qualifications:

Desirable experience includes work in hybrid systems, stochastic optimal control, reachability analysis, optimization, or learning. In addition, the applicant should have a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and student success, as well as working with broadly diverse communities.
