Networked Optimization, Diagnosis and Estimation LAB

Postdoc position

NODE Lab invites applications and queries for a PostDoc position for: Risk-Aware Controls for Multi-Agent Autonomous Systems. This Postdoc researchers in control, machine learning, autonomous navigation, and cognitive neuroscience for a large-scale interdisciplinary research program. In this Postdoc research position, learning-aided control and risk-aware navigation frameworks will be developed for multi-agent autonomous systems cooperating/interacting with humans in dynamic environments. In this regard, safe Reinforcement Learning (and Bayesian optimization), and cognitive based control will be used for perception, motion planning, and robust control of autonomous systems. This position is available to Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada, refugees in Canada, and international applicants.

Required:

Completion of PhD degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, and Cognitive Neuroscience (interdisciplinary PhD research are preferred)
Programming for embedded systems, ROS, and coding in Python/C++

Deadline

Feb. 01, 2026

PhD position

A PhD position is available for a highly-qualified and outstanding PhD researcher in control, robot learning, perception, and autonomous navigation for a large-scale interdisciplinary research program. In this PhD research position, learning and distributed controls will be developed for multi-agent systems cooperating/interacting with humans. In this regard, safe reinforcement learning (RL), and cognitive based control will be used for motion planning, and robust control of autonomous systems

This project will involve collaboration with research partners at McGill University, University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), and KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden).This position is available to Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada, refugees in Canada, and international applicants.

Required:

Keen interest and/or experience (coursework, research, and/or industrial) in: RL, reachability analysis, hybrid systems, and cognitive neuroscience
Programming for embedded systems, ROS, and coding in Python/C++
Proven ability to work independently
Effective written and verbal communication skills (proficiency in English and/or French

Deadline
