Lund University was founded in 1666 and is consistently ranked among the world's leading universities. It has around 46,000 students and 8,500 employees in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our endeavor to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's conditions.
The Department of Automatic Control at LTH, Lund University, is recruiting an assistant professor.
We are seeking candidates for a position as assistant professor in control systems with a focus on cyber-physical systems. Control systems, cyber-physical systems, and embedded real-time systems are central to the analysis, design, and operation of modern technical systems. These areas combine fundamental theory with methods for implementation, integration, and validation of control and decision algorithms in real-world environments. They play a key role in technology areas where computational and physical processes interact closely, including autonomous vehicles, robotics, industrial automation, smart infrastructure, and interconnected sensor and actuator systems. As society and technology evolve toward increasingly autonomous, distributed, and software-intensive systems, the need for reliable, resource-efficient, secure, and scalable solutions becomes ever more important, both in research and education.
At the Department of Automatic Control at LTH, research and teaching are conducted in an international environment with around 60 employees, including doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members with broad subject expertise. The department has a strong tradition in systems and control theory, including cyber-physical systems, embedded and network-based control systems, robotics, and intelligent autonomous systems. The work environment is characterized by an open and ambitious atmosphere, with collaborations both within academia and with industrial partners, nationally and internationally.
Lund University and the Department of Automatic Control welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We view equality and diversity as strengths and assets. The department currently has three female professors, including a Lise Meitner professor, as well as one female assistant professor. Of our 15 faculty members, five have international backgrounds. Diversity, equality, and inclusion are important to us.
We are now seeking an outstanding early-career researcher for a position as assistant professor in control systems with a focus on cyber-physical systems. We particularly welcome candidates whose research combines control systems with areas such as embedded and real-time-critical systems, distributed and network-based systems, robotics and mechatronics, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud and edge-based computing infrastructures, or implementation of control systems in industrially relevant applications. The research may, for example, concern implementation of control systems in resource-constrained environments, real-time and embedded control architectures, network-based and distributed control, sensor and actuator systems, or software and hardware integration for autonomous and cyber-physical systems.
The position involves conducting research of high international quality, developing an independent research profile, contributing to the acquisition of external research funding, and teaching and supervising students at undergraduate, advanced, and doctoral levels in control systems and computer science, including cyber-physical systems, embedded and real-time-critical systems, and related areas. A central part of the position is to contribute to teaching that combines theory and practice through the development of an experimentally oriented learning environment.
