Postdoc or Ph.D. position at the Technion, Israel

[Ron Meir]

                     Postdoctoral or PhD Position
                 Aerospace and Electrical Engineering
              Technion - Israel Institute of Technology


The Technion has an immediate opening for a two-year post-doc position,
to pursue research on non-linear fault detection and isolation, with
application to robust and affordable flight control systems for small
commercial aircraft. The project is part of a large scale European effort
and is funded by the Brite-Euram foundation.  The successful candidate is
expected to have some working knowledge of at least one of the following
fields: flight control, neural networks, non-linear filtering, and
non-linear system identification. Experience in applying non-linear
approaches, such as neural networks, extended Kalman filtering etc. to
real-world problems is a definite asset. 

Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in Aerospace or Electrical
Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or Computer Science.  Strong analytical
skills and demonstrated ability to perform creative research, along with
practical experience with Matlab, C, or C++ are essential.

The position is also open to practicing engineers with similar backgrounds,
who wish to pursue a two year research program on the above topics. For
candidates holding the Masters degree, the program may lead to a topic for a
PhD thesis in Aerospace or Electrical Engineering at the Technion.

Salaries and social benefits are commensurate with those of senior
research associates or senior engineers at the Technion, depending on the
candidates' background and credentials. 

The project will be conducted under the joint supervision of:
