Postdoctoral Position in Control of Sensor Networks
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Duke University
Laboratory for Intelligent Systems and Controls (LISC)
The Laboratory for Intelligent Systems and Controls (LISC) at Duke University is now considering applications for a Postdoctoral position in the area of optimal control of sensor networks. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in two or more of the following areas: optimal control, computational geometry; ocean sensor networks; approximate dynamic programming; and intelligent systems. Prior experience with probabilistic graphs and/or stochastic optimization would also be an advantage.

The LISC is part of the Pratt School of Engineering, which is undergoing an unprecedented expansion in both human and physical resources, offering unique research and employment opportunities. The Mechanical Engineering Department at Duke University was recently ranked #8 among ME departments in the U.S. by the Chronicle of Higher Education. Duke is located in North Carolina’s Research Triangle, a vibrant and exciting area offering many cultural and natural recreational activities. This position offers the opportunity to tackle fundamental research problems and to gain experience in all areas of academic life.

U.S. Citizenship is required. To apply, please send a PDF of your CV, including contact information for three referees, to sferrari@duke.edu. For more information, visit http://lisc.pratt.duke.edu.
