Targeted research profile
The position is intended for a researcher in applied mathematics with a broad expertise in control theory and stabilization of finite and infinite dimensional systems, in particular in the area of hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations.
CERMICS has a particular interest in the application to road traffic flows, and the candidate is expected to invest some time in this subject. A willingness to learn about reinforcement learning applied to control and stabilization, as well as practical implementation of the obtained algorithms, is also expected.
The candidate will be committed to developing scientific independence and academic recognition at the highest international level, to allow tenure as a Research Director (DR2) within the first 6 years.
