Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description NOTICE OF OPENING OF AN INTERNATIONAL SELECTION PROCEDURE FOR THE RECRUITMENT OF A DOCTORATE EQUIVALENT TO AN ASSISTANT RESEARCHER POSITION This recruitment aims the performance of activities corresponding to the category of Doctorate Initial level, as stated in article 8 of Regulation No. 487/2020, of May 22. The Doctorate equivalent to an Assistant Researcher will develop R&D activities in the scope of project RELIABLE which aims to develop control system methodologies and algorithms that directly incorporate safety requirements into the problem formulation, ensuring mathematically proven safety certificates: To achieve this, a specific goal is to combine data-driven approaches and machine learning techniques with recent control and optimization-based techniques capable of enforcing invariance properties in the context of Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) and Lyapunov Control Functions (CLFs) in the presence of complex constraints and uncertainties. Another objective is to extend the mentioned concepts to safety-critical networked systems involving multiple agents operating autonomously in networked and dynamic environments. The researcher will be integrated into the Research team of the project coordinated by Professor António Pedro Rodrigues de Aguiar and will contribute to the following activities of the project: Task 3 - Methodologies for Designing Critical Safety Networks Task 4 - Deployment of Single and Multiple Autonomous Robotic Vehicles in Space, Aerial, and Underwater Scenarios with Safety Constraints Task 5 - Application of Mobile Robotics in Industry 4.0 Scenarios Task 6 - Dissemination and Exploitation of Results 1. The scientific areas of this selection procedure are Computer Science (Informatics). 2. General Admission Requirements: Any national, foreign, or stateless person holding a doctorate in Computer Science (Informatics), or in a related area, with a scientific and professional curriculum vitae that reveals a profile appropriate to the activity to be developed, may apply to this competition. 3. Specific Admission Requirements: Candidates must have a relevant curriculum in the scientific area they are applying for and demonstrate skills in the following areas of expertise: machine learning, systems engineering, robotics, networked systems of autonomous vehicles, process control, and software development. 4
