# Post doctoral Contract in Dynamic Control, DyCon Project

The European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant “DyCon – DynamicControl”, coordinated by Enrique Zuazua, aims to develop a multifold research agenda in the broad area of Control of Partial Differential Equations (PDE) and their numerical approximation methods to contribute with new key theoretical methods and results and computational software.

#### Description

The Chair of Computational Mathematics led by E. Zuazua of the DeustoTech Research Center in Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain) offers a postdoctoral position to carry out mathematical and computational research, with excellent facilities within a world-wide academic and industrial-technological network. The duration of the contract is of 12 months, with a possible extension to one more year.

The chosen postdoc researcher will carry out mathematical and/or computational research on some of the main scientific priorities of DYCON in a multidisciplinary and international environment. The duration of the contract is of 12 months, with a possible extension to one more year. This position is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant “DYCON – Dynamic Control”.

This project identifies six key topics:

• Control of parameter dependent problems
• Long finite time horizon control
• Control under constraints
• Inverse design of time-irreversible models
• Memory models and hybrid PDE/ODE models
• The links between finite and infinite-dimensional dynamical systems and gathering all contributions develops a Computational Software platform

#### Research Fields

Mathematics - Computational mathematics – Control theory – Scientific Computing

Post doctoral

#### Benefits

Starting date is February, 2019 or earlier, if possible. The annual gross salary will be 29.500,00 € and local tax regulations will be applied on this amount. The contract includes Spanish Social Security and healthcare public plans.

#### Requirements

• Required Education Level:
• Mathematics: PhD or equivalent.
• Computer Science: Bachelor Degree or equivalent.
• PhD Thesis in Mathematics, Physics, Informatics, Engineering or closely related areas, with emphasis on Partial Differential Equations, Control theory, Numerical Analysis and/or Scientific Computing
